Yes, I looked closely at the steerable tag and test drove a Realm prior to buying the Conerstone. It is a more complex setup but the way Spartan or Foretravel had the chassis programed it was no more complex to operate than the tag axle on the Conerstone. It was the about the only thing I liked better on the Foretravel and it certainly did not justify the difference in cost but the turning radius with the steerable tag is definitely noticeable when navigating turns in town. I would consider it a big plus getting in and out of my storage and driving around Houston.

Sounds like you understand the complexity of the steerable tag. Do you consider the difference in tail swing a concern? If they would just allow you to left the tag that would remove some of the complexity but they must think the drive axle is not strong enough to carry the extra weigh.
The Cornerstone is a great coach.
Safe travels,

We shopped hard and IMHO it's by far the best coach in it's price point. I'm still amazed at how quite the ride is every time I drive it. The outstanding customer support we have received from Entegra is just icing on the cake………...

And that's about the truth. Just about every major vendor item on this coach has been replace or repaired......I don't think they wanted to ask how my coach was doing.  The up side, I am almost up to a 2015 at a 2014 price

I'm really offended! I haven't gotten a call yet! Wait, hold on, I have a Newmar . . . and an older one at that, Damn. But they could STILL call me!
Nice to see that good Customer Service (which, yes, is GOOD business sense) isn't totally dead in the RV world!

I agree.......
It's nice that someone in RV industry is going above and beyond just making a sale. So far they've exceeded my expectations.
