I didn't notice THAT! That really makes me wonder how long Spartan will be in the RV business if EC starts being courted heavily to offer FL chassis in the other lines.

FL made some HUGE tactical moves a few years ago and it appears that these moves are paying big. This could be interesting in 2016.

As I recall, the 38M doesn't exactly qualify as Entegra Light. The MSRP on it was pretty darned close to a 'regular' Aspire. They didn't reduce the quality level, and the content level is pretty up there - all electric, really nice interior, and some items that the regular Aspire doesn't offer. Mainly, I see it as a short Aspire - they wanted a pusher under 40 feet and so used a Freightliner chassis. That gives bigger fuel and water tanks, to boot.

I'm not buying one, but that's because I wanted a larger size. Otherwise, both the DW and I were very impressed.

BTW, the 38M is listed for sale on the Richardson's RV site, with pictures.

Talk about a SMART move, have you seen the paint job on this new Greyhawk??

The Revolution 39A is the same floorplan as well. Interesting.

The two things that stand out for me on the Entegra are:

1) Only 2 ACs (doesn't seem like there's an option to add a 3rd)
2) Not enough windows on the patio side.

I really love Entegra coaches in general, but I'm holding out for a future floorplan that lets more light in on my patio side (with more than one small window over there)!

Lastly, not sure how I feel about a rear radiator. The more I read, the more I'm up in the air, but leaning toward a side one.

If I had to choose right this second, I'd probably pay the extra for the Aspire.

The 38M has the same floor plan as the allegro bus 37ap

The Aspire TK is going to go up against the Tuscany Hence the TK, Tuscany Killer. Everyone will be very impressed when they hit production in the coming months

Allegro Bus is on a much better chassis, a Spartan Mountain Master GT. Side radiator, IFS, and 150 gal fuel tank. I would never own a rear radiator coach. If I am paying more than a 1/4 million dollars, I should at least be able to see the engine.
