Deposit Made on New 2013 Entegra Anthem RBQ

Just got into RVing this summer as I bought a new 2013 Georgetown XL 360 in June but not happy with the ride (especially through the mountains - scary!). Just seen pictures on the internet of the coach but feel pretty confident that I made a good decision. Put a deposit down today! Liked the 1 1/2 bath in the Georgetown so that's why I chose the Anthem RBQ.

Congratulations! You'll love it! It will make your old coach look like a Tinkertoy. No offense intended to Georgetown owners - There's just no comparison between the two coaches.

Congrats, as said, you bought a great coach. Should we ever decide to buy another, it would be a Entegra Anthem.

Congratulations. We looked at most of the floor plans forwards and backwards, under and over and the 42 RBQ also suited our needs the best as well. You made a great choice and welcome to the Entegra family.

Congrats and welcome to the Entegra family...also welcome to iRV. You are going to love your new ride...the Anthem is all you could ask for at the price point.

Saw you are from Rio Rancho...DW is from the valley just North of Santa Fe.

Welcome to IRV2 and to Entegra!

Like you, we bought or if first RV this year; a gasser. We put 9,200 miles on it in 4 months, a lot in the mountains which caused our rookie minds concern. We have a little over 4,000 miles on our Anthem.

We picked up our Anthem in early July. Drove our first real mountains this week (Central Arizona). No comparison! For us it's money well spent which is not meant to come down on gassers.

We are on our first big Entegra trip; 6 weeks and about 4,000 miles 1,000 miles behind us, all a pleasure! Made better by the unbelievable support by Entegra and Spartan!

It's certainly not a "come down" on gassers....it''s the difference between an engine or an exhaust brake that can make ALL of the difference in a conformable mountain trip, either white knuckled or nice and relaxed. You made a good point.

Congrats on your purchase. We to looked high and low at every floor plan and every make and model on our list; we kept going back to the RBQ. Once we saw the RBQ in person, that was the one for our family.

Enjoy the ride.

Steve and Judy,
Congratulations - looks like I'm a day behind you as I start my pickup process Thur (14th). I've been saying "Give me Patience, and Give it to Me Right Now" since my order placement in late June at FMCA-Gillette.
I'm not sure where your taking delivery, but I see NM listed as your location. Most anywhere's got to be way warmer than I am waiting in Des Moines, IA right now.
Also, Dave and Beth, thanks for your correspondence and well wishes

Back home with the Anthem and Time for Pictures

I really like the entry stick-em carpet as they match the tile perfectly.
