Interesting 2015 Anthem changes and this forum

[brobox]

I just counted the number of changes to the 2015 model and there are 23 changes, that have been listed in http://www.irv2.com/forums/f278/tell...ns-154379.html
or that have been discussed in great length on this forum. These are only the changes I remember being posted, there might be a few more. Who would have thought that Dusty56 post would have lead to so many great changes and additions on the 2015's.

That is fantastic that a manufactures watches and listens so closely to it's owners or future owners. I don't know if any of these changes will come on my 2014, but it is nice to know that factory additions could be available.

It also shows how valuable this forum is to the improvements of our MH. If ideas are not posted or discussed we may have never seen the improvements that are coming. So thanks to all of you that have helped me to have a better MH.

The longer I read this forum and meet the folks from Entegra the more convinced I am that this is probably the finest RV manufacturer in the mid-luxury range that is out there. Special people in a very special company.

Agree...I'd just like to see a little more imagination in floor plans.

I might add the CS is second to none

I'll bet if the guys on the Mods post would start sketching floor plans, Entegra might start producing them. They sure picked up a lot of the 2015 upgrades that were shared on that post.

I also agree with the floor plan selections.

We absolutely love the Aspire U but would like to move up to an Anthem U for all the upgrades. We currently have an Aspire dlq but love the U layout, bath and a half and the amazing amount of storage! We are patiently waiting for that floorplan in an Anthem. Are there any others interested in that floorplan?

The drive towards bath and a half, IMHO, at the expense of 3-5 ft of living space in the living room is the issue. If the move to bath and a half continues, then it really will take innovation to create the space in new floor plans. I saw attempts in this way with the full wall slide...an area that Entegra said they wouldn't go 9 months ago. The addition of a full wall slide approach in the new 40 foot Aspire suggests a change in heart (hopefully accompanied by a view and approach that says they now believe the full wall slide is viable from an engineering perspective.

What we'd like to see...full wall slide DEQ-style bath and a half with the lounge chair space restored (vice the 44B). Put the wall slide on the passenger side, switch the kitchen to the driver's side, and let you look out on your "yard" from the dinette table. Saw this approach in SOBs at Tampa. This would be a major manufacturing change for Entegra, so I don't hold out hope for seeing it too soon. Maybe I'll draw it out and post it for the heck of it. All, JMHO
