Went to the Seattle RV show last night with VFW (Very Favorite Wife) and two of our neighbors. Neighbors looking for a large 5th wheel and we were looking at Anthems.
While going in to a 44SL I overheard the couple coming out marveling at the fit & finish and saying they were going to cancel their Tiffin Allegro Bus and buy an Anthem.
I used the expression "Spacious Living" in the SL and the Entegra rep just smiled.
With this exposure to the Seattle and PNW market it is a good thing that Entegra expanded their production facility. Lots of Winnebago & Tiffin up here.
Having only seen a Cornerstone in person before my VFW came out impressed with the 44SL and LOVED the 44 DLQ they were showing s well.
Now the decision is buy a 2014 now or wait for the 2015s.
Decisions, decisions.

If you order now, most likely will be a 2015 anyway, unless you take a dealer pre-ordered 2014.

Problem with Seattle is there is only one dealer for Entegra that I know of. They are a horrible dealer,we were shocked when Entegra let them carry their brand. We went to California to get our Anthem

As certified SL Bigots, I assure you you can't go wrong no matter the year.

Dave is right as usual - an order now will be likely a 2015 anyway

I know. I went down to their lot a couple of weeks ago, expressed an interest in the 44Sl, gave my number to a salesguy and never heard back. He kept trying to push me into a 2013 Cornerstone. Unfortunately, we have very few choices for RV dealerships near Seattle. Poulsbo handles Tiffin and they are very proud of them price wise. Another dealer a little north handles Winne/Itasca. The Entegra dealer also sells Newmar. Easy to compare side by side but the sales force is a joke.
Entegra, if you are reading, you may wish to reconsider the dealership you have chosen to represent you in the Seattle area. When I buy the Anthem it will be from MHSRV, LD or RVONE. Don't mind a little drive as long as I don't have to deal with PITAs.

Are you talking about Pohlsons...I tried to talk to them early on in 2013. PITA was an accurate description. Buy from those that want to sell (the big guys mentioned) and develop a service relationship with who you are comfortable.

Go talk to Richardson's Rv in Riverside/Meneffe (Chris). I worked for weeks with MHSRV,LD and RVONE. Richardsons blew them away price wise. The big three told me that was impossible. I didnt even have to work at it with Richardsons. I told them what I wanted to pay and they did it. Great place to work with. They are the biggest Jayco dealership and as a result have a good relationship with Jayco. They want to make a statement with Entegra and as a result are on a mission to move coaches.
