Can someone tell me what the changes were between these 2 years. I've heard them called lifestyle changes but I don't know what that means exactly.

I know the front and rear caps were changed with the headlight design and what not.

thanks

Front and rear cap was biggest change followed by more led lighting(at counter edge) different video display on dash. We bought an end of the year 2015 and had several upgrades made (so we would buy the 2015) we love it. Oh the 2016 is not compatible with a rear fixed latter (one of the additions we made) Oh also the turbo sand on on 2016.

It doesn't have the "Classic" look.

But the best change is the light natural cherry cabinets choice.

Everyone keeps forgetting the biggest change of them all which is the new colors: Victory Blue and Electric Blue!

Not everyone is enthusiastic about the new colors.

Tom, you are too lucky.

Did they start the natural cherry at the beginning of 15, or was that a later year choice?

Same here. We ordered in October of 2014 and the natural cherry was just out. We love it. We have the light leather too. Makes for an airy, nice interior.

I was talking to Tadd when we were ordering, commenting that we loved the natural cherry. He said it appeared to be a regional thing - people in the east equate dark stained wood with luxury, and want that in their RVs, while many people in the west we asking for light stains or natural woods.

Our five previuos used motorhomes all had light wood, either maple or honey cherry in appearance. We ordered our 16 Anthem with the darkest wood, Windsor and Butterscotch seating. We really like the contrast and yes we are from New England but we did forget the dust element on dark wood :

However more back to the question of changes 15 to 16: If you have a 15 that you really like at a price you also really like personally I would suggest GO FOR IT ! There is nothing on a 16 that makes it that much better then a 15 JMHO. We only ordered our 16 for the new A floor plan not available in 15 otherwise if in 15 there was a floor plan to our liking we would have purchased one.

What Hayman said. Of course I'm trying to peddle my '15

Just my luck, a year to early.

DW wants the natural cherry so bad she can taste it, but the bugs still are not worked out of this one yet.

Thanks for the input. Was just asking more out of curiosity rather than liking one model year over another.

Just compiling a list of features so I know what I'm looking at when the time comes.
