Does anyone have first hand experience with this model/year? My husband and I found one we like, however, since this is one of the first under the "Jayco/Entegra" regime, I am having a difficult time finding information to do my "due diligence".
For instance, are there any inherent problems with this unit a buyer should know about before purchasing? I am just a bit concerned because all manufacture warranties are void, with the exception of the remaining drive train.
Any information is greatly appreciated.

The Entegra Aspire 40SKT is a great coach. Wrong on the 1st year, 2009 with the 360hp was the 1st year Aspire came out. Very little difference between the 2010 and 2011 models. Get an extended warranty if you are conserned.

Also looking at the Entegra... would like to get some owner feedback also. Looks like a winner so far...

Hi Rob: We were looking at the Entegra also and was wondering how yours was doing so far, what are the differances between the Aspire and the Anthem ? i see they both have the same engine

Thanks Steve

I have a new Entegra and love it. There are actually quite a few differences in the Anthem and Aspire. First and probably most striking is the Anthem has IFS and the Aspire does not. Second the Aspire has a propane Aqua Hot unit and the Anthem has a diesel Aqua hot, another major difference, imho. The all electric option, without a propane tank is very nice and is not available in the Aspire but is almost standard in the Anthem. If you go to Entegra.com and download both brochures and compare you will see these and other differences. However, both are extremely nice coaches and should certainly satisfy almost anyone short of a Prevost or Newell owner. I especially like the fireplace, the powered roller shades throughout and the residential refrigerator. The auto gen start works really good and is very nice. With the all electric option you get 8 gel cell house batteries which is also really nice to have and a 12.5 Onan gen set. What few problems that we have had, Entegra has bent over backwards to correct and make us happy, I just can not say enough good things about how we were treated at the factory on our trip to get our "punch list" fixed. We have certainly not been disappointed with the quality or workmanship on our coach. One of the selling points for us was the high quality wood cabinets in the coach and the Spartan chassis. all just our experience and opinion. I think you will love an Entegra coach.
