Differences between these two year models of a great RV? (Other than price, LOL)

I thought I read on here that the all electric Anthem did not start out as an original feature?? If that is true, does anyone know when Anthem went all electric?

Actually, what year DID the Anthem make its maiden voyage? 2010, 2011??

Thanks,

I think the first was 2008 or 09. All electric was sn option at least by 2011 and I think earlier. There are a ton of differences between every year and even within one years run as Entegra makes "rolling changes" during the model year. So anything except the very latest will not have all of the new changes and tweaks. That being said, there have been No major problems with any model run, just upgrades and tweaks suggested by owners and new technologies. Really difficult to establish a list of model year changes because of that. Just look at both carefully and see if the upgrade is worth the price upgrade to you, any specific question we will try to help you find the answer.

So, is "all electric," now an option or is standard, on the Anthem?

Starting with 2013 the Anthem is all electric standard( maybe even 2012- help somebody, do not remember for sure).

2012 model year was the first "all electric" Anthem standard. 2012 was also a short production year for Entegra. They moved very quickly to the 2013's. I think it was because of all the changes that they were making. Probably the most noticeable difference between the 2 years would be the Garrard awnings.
Talking about what came when with Entegra is a slippery slope. I have an early 2014 and I can't tell you one thing I know to be different from the last 2013 they built. But there are a lot of differences from the first 2013 built.
According to their own history, the first Entegras were introduced in late 2008 as 2009's.

I agree with nowabeachbum. When we ordered our Anthem we ordered the all electric option and it was a 2011. By the time we got our coach the model year had changed to 2012 and all electric was standard.
