I think if you scroll through some of the longer threads here, you'll find a 2011 Aspire owner and you can click on their name and send them a PM with your questions.

Generally, most everyone here on these threads that have an Entegra are pleased with their coaches and with Entegra service.

Hi, don't think yo can go wrong with an Entegra! I believe the 2011 units were on a Freightliner and have a lighter capacity front axle (13000 something vs 14000 something on the new Spartan based Aspires). If you go to the Freightliner Chassis/Spartan Chassis sites they have spec sheets for each brand/model/year with all the details.

For us (we have a 2013 Aspire coming end of the month), price was the biggest factor when looking at pre-owned units - the few that there are! One 2011 Aspire we inquired about was a private sale and the owner's bottom line price was only about $10K less that what we negotiated for a brand new fresh off the line 2013 Spartan based Aspire with all the latest improvements. Just as a point of reference you should be able to negotiate down to about 30-32% off of MSRP on a new Entegra - maybe more! especially for an "older" 2013 still on the lot (like at MHSRV)!

Start with Rvone, MHSRV and Lazy Days, although we never got a competitive price from Lazy Days. Also note the 2014's are now in the order queue and the price went up by about $13K MSRP, at least on the Aspire. Lazy Days just got a few 2013 Aspires in that have the latest factory mods and are still at the lower 2013 price point.

We got. The 2011 40RDQ last Aug. Put 5000 mi on it and plan on more than that this. Built on 2008 chassis with same year tires so will relace next year. Customer service has been awesome and we were lucky to have two months of warranty left. A few items fixed and saved us $$$$ it is not easy finding used models. We were lucky. It was tough talking DW into this, now she wants a tag axle. Go figure.
