When I was shopping for coaches 2 years ago I had it narrowed down to 2 different 2014 anthem 44b plans 1 @ nirvc Dallas 1 @ancira Rv right next to mhsrv
I coach had a buy back from the factory stamped on it... scared me..
Nirvc disclosed to me that entegra bought it back from the original owner because he was so frustrated with the constant “ roof leaks” the coach has 19k miles which means it got well used. Supposedly it was all fixed.. That spooked me and I bought the other anthem.. that’s why I am so aware of the roof leak problem they had in that era..

So now over 2 years of ownership the leak I saw 6 days ago is the first..
I am hoping mine was not built by the same employees that caused this..

I appreciate all the tips and possibilities...

New 2014 Anthem Owner. I know this probably obvious but the only way to get on the roof is by using a very tall ladder correct? No secret latch or method other than the good old fashioned ladder I’m assuming?

Yep... unfortunately no secret elevator I use a folding exstention ladder with the little rubber boots on the ends that leans against the coach...

Entegra will not acknowledge a problem with those screws to me and they have not done any rework of this area to my knowledge.

My comments above are about the screws that hold the large awning rail brackets to the roof which are stripped and pulled out. I find Entegra did this at the factory due to their caulk being pushed under the bracket. The bracket was obviously not flush onto the roof when they caulked. Plus, the bracket is so poorly aligned to the awning I have to use half inch shims to keep from bending the awning rail once I have the bracket seated on the roof. Sorry, "out of warranty" despite the mute evidence of the mis-assembly at the factory. I think the rail was bolted to the bracket holding the bracket off the roof before the large screws were installed. The assembler tried to pull the bracket down with the screws stripping the holes in the process.
Right, but I think the question was did you get the fix that mr USA mentioned? It appears that there was a recall on the roof issue and it should have been corrected by Entegra. I’ve heard of a few other older coach owners that have had this done. Some actually had there roofs removed and replaced making sure that there were no leaks. The folks I talked with, while at the factory, had only praise for the work that was done....

The roof recall you are refering to was done in about 2015. During the “Tad-less” year the factory anchored the front cap with screws that were not long enough. Somehow they tracked down the serial numbers they thought were affected and paid their employees to “roadtrip” to each coach and field repair them. I recall Ted Cook and some others wondering around Florida in 2015.

That is the only major roof event I remember and I’m not even sure it was an actual recall.
