That makes sense. Need to finish the first cup before posting.

That front axle and tire upgrade on the Anthem is a big improvement I think

Does anyone know what the "AquaHot reporter module" does? I tried googling it but didn't find much

What we have is nice, and I have no regrets about my coach, but DeeGee is pretty accurate.

I can (and have) made better joints many times. I have a 44A, with the desk option. Since I can't go full-time for a while yet, it seems pretty probable that I will be (finally!) retired before we go. That makes the desk superfluous. It isn't usable now, having broken when a tech was working on the TV lift. Rather than repairing the unsupported desk only to have it break again, I'm thinking of replacing that whole area with a properly constructed cabinet. The biggest worry is, is it going to make the rest of the woodwork look like crap?

It provides a built in diagnostics and test tools capability. Will be available within the Vega Touch as well as panel mounted in AH bay.

We have the Flexsteel theater seats in our 2019 Anthem 44F. We just sat in the 2020 equivalent couches here at Entegra...and, my goodness, the couch changes are pretty nice. I'm way too fat for our current FLexsteel furniture. The cushions aren't enough and our couch is a bit flimsy. The new couches are REALLY nice, sturdy, and feel like they have twice the padding but 'softer'.

...pretty tempting.

I understand that they have started doing the tours of the factory yesterday. That is great and we will schedule ours next week. I will be interested in trying out the Villa seating. We also finding that the flex steel theater seating in the Anthem is not that comfortable. The Cornerstone flex steel seats maybe better.

Hey Gary,
Please let me know how the coach’s driver’s seat is. I was wondering if they have stiffened up the captains chairs.

We are going to try to go next Tuesday. I will let you know how they are.

Our experience is that our theater seats are OK comfortable. However, our opinion is that the seats need to have the ability to adjust the back and the footrest separately. To get the footrest out to even a 45 degree angle, you have to start putting the headrest and back down to about a 45 degree angle. If you wanted the footrest fully horizonal, the backrest section is essentially horizontal, e.g., you are laying flat (or as flat as you get with the theater seats). The DW and I both find that there are times we would like the footrest out essentially flat, but would like to watch TV and the backrest essentially vertical (or as vertical as it normally is)

And the other "wish item" would be that the console between the two theater seats and the third theater seats would be either removable or the top part above the seat be able to be tilted back. As it is now, no one can stretch out for a nap on the three seats if that was what they would have liked to do. I believe that this is the system used in Vernon's custom made theater seats.

Comfort has been fine. DW and I will be interested in sitting in the 2020 seats.

We just ordered the T-seats from Glasstop Our 18 Anthem W came with two couches. After seeing the theater seats at NIRVC we decided to upgrade to them. Another benefit is that we can relocate the sub woofer, which is now in the BR to the area directly below the center console. I measures it and it will fit

Does the 2020 Anthem have adaptive Cruise Control??
thanks
