Approach and Departure Ramp Angles?

My wife and I are planning our new home which will include a 53'L x 18'H x 18'W RV bay for a future new Entegra Cornerstone. We are currently discussing driveway grading. Does anyone know the approach and the departure ramp angles for this coach?

A very interesting question. I have never seen this information posted anywhere. Does not mean it does not exist.

That information is or used to be available for all coaches and I believe it to be very useful when considering a coach especially if your parking area is sloped. I do know this, for the Anthem and Aspire the departure angle, rear, is really messed up because of the radiator hanging down. Not good. I have been thru this before ordering my 2016 Aspire as the radiator would scrape in my driveway on a 2014 test Aspire. EC put in a temporary tag axle sw. to keep the tag from dumping in reverse and increased my departure 3 or 4 inches. My New 16 came with the tag switch to mainly increase the departure angle and is now standard. I don't know in degrees but do know the radiator reduced it by several inches. Poor design.
I have often wondered if some radiator leaks could be attributed to the radiator hanging down.

We are faced with the same issue as our driveway in Boerne crosses a creek and the bridge over the culverts is short about 20 feet. I'm hoping that the air suspension in the CS will give me about an extra 4 inches. I have already spent $10k on the pad and reducing the slope coming out of the creek but may have to spend some more if it doesn't make it. I'll know next month when we move permanently.
