The Anthem 2020 " Ballet " paint scheme is a return to a similar " Beachstone " paint scheme offered in 15, 16 and a few very early 17's. We chose the Beachstone paint after having a Black upper paint scheme on our Allegro Bus and found exterior wall temperatures varied in excess of 30 degrees between the Black vs the lighter colors. The same is true on our Anthem. Exactly what that temperature variation translates to in transferring to the interior I have never attempted to figure out but we have noticed less run time on our AC's which we understand is also a better insulation package.

2020 Anthem has no steerable tag.

I have a 2015 Beachstone Anthem. Still really like the color and the backend of a Classic Entegra.

Nice looking Anthem Debbie. Hey how did you get that IRV2 decal. I need one!

Become a "iRV2 Supporter" for the princely sum of 15.03 (see the Support iRV2 box at the top of virtually all screens), and you too can become an iRV2 supporter and you will receive a handy decal post-haste from the management.

Plus its just a nice thing to help out this site which is the best RV owners support site on the web....

Thanks! Look at the top right and click on the become a supporter, and they will send you a sticker. I've been a supporter for years, and should change out that sticker on the coach since it is fading a bit :-)

Ok. Thanks guys. Will do.

Brian, that Beachstone paint scheme was nice in its day, but is severely outdated at this point. A man of your status and renown should have nothing but the latest & greatest. I'll stop by NIRVC later today and tell them to hold that recently arrived 2020 Ballet Anthem for you.

No need to thank me - I am here for you.

There was a single classic owner ('14) at our Spartan Academy/Entegra Partner class week-before-last. On PJ's Tuesday, PJ kept jokingly telling the owner why he "needed" to upgrade. I do think that the Classics still have a very distinctively nice look to them to this day.

Larry, Much appreciated knowing you got my back !

Brian, anytime you need help spending your money, just give me a call.

We traded our ‘16 Anthem on a ‘20 Anthem and sounds like ours was the first coach to roll out with the new Ballet paint scheme. We picked it up late April and drove to Homecoming. We had discussions with Pat and some of the other engineering folks about the actual colors vs. the website colors. They are definitely aware of the problem and are working on improving it.
As for the new ride, IT IS FABULOUS!!! So smooth, floats going down the highway much better than the ‘16. The EZ steer is a feature I really questioned the need for, but I totally missed that one! The EZ Steer is a great feature in wind!This new coach is an extremely nice improvement over a coach that we were already quite happy with! This new coach and the new Ballet color are truly a great result of owner input and Entegra listening. We were one of the big howlers about the dark colors and are thrilled with the new Ballet, the new smoother ride, the new EZ Steer, and the great quality!
THANK YOU ENTEGRA!!!
