Entegra changes

[ravens2012]

After researching motorhomes for full timing the past 12 months, especially this forum, we plan to order an Anthem next month. I see a lot of posts about changes to the Cornerstone for 2015 and a new single axle Aspire but I have not seen anything about changes to the Anthem. Is anyone aware of any, floor plans, colors (interior and exterior)? Also by ordering next month do you think it will be a 2014 or 2015. We are really getting exited about the new life we are getting ready to embark on. Thanks for any info.

From what was posted earlier, the 2015 Anthem is going to be announced at the FMCA rally in Perry GA. March 17 to 20, 2014. I would check with your dealer to be sure what order date constitutes a 2015. We were told of the changes coming on the 2014 when we did the factory tour, so we waited to order a 2014.

If you do wait to order, it is taking 6 months for delivery and if like mine, the next years model will be coming out before yours is delivered. We decided not chase modle years and ordered to get a 2014 for "our" travel season. Some of the changes on the 2014 I don't like, like eliminating the in dash outside temperature LED thermometer, so not all changes are good.

Man that is a big X2. I asked Pat and Joyce if any of the designers ever drives a rig.

"You can see the temperature and the direction on the radio and the GPS." Sure and when you finally see and squint to read it, you run over a road gator or worse. Goofy.

Same for the no dimmer awning lights.

Well, if you fellas really want the 2013 style temp gage, you could call up old Amazon......

Thanks - I've got one on my 2013, but if we ever order again, I'll get one of those.

Yea, I didn't realize it had been deleted until we took delivery a couple weeks ago. One of the first things I noticed and commented to my wife I won't be long adding that back. But I like doing projects like this and will come up with something styled just a little differently.

On the rvone website after you choose the model (Anthem) and floorplan you get a neat video and a extensive list of equipment including *New Enhancements for 2015 Models*

Alan1,
I tried to find the video for 2015 model enhancements but I think the only one I found was the 38 min. long one with Robin and I think that was last year but I may be wrong. Did I go to the wrong site or something?

Do you have that link? I could not find it. Thanks. Found it half way down the page, but is is a printed list. http://www.orlandorvdirect.com/index...vs/models/2429
It will be interesting to see if my 2014, not yet delivered, had any of the changes. I will print the list out and check.

I see some NICE changes, I wonder what the up charges will be? I can see several of the upgrades are not cheap.
