New RV - 3rd one in a year. What a story!
I think we finally got the motorhome that will stick around.
We started in September 2021 with a 2022 Entegra Accolade XL. That was nice but our friends, who are older, found it hard to get into the bunk area. So in Feb 2022 we traded it for a 2022 Entegra Reatta XL, which had about 40 features better than the Accolade XL. That had the perfect floor plan and the guests loved it as we did too. But it only had a single speed engine brake, which didn't work, a 380hp engine, vacuum formed walls, etc. So in September 2022 we upgraded to our latest a 2022 Entegra Aspire 44W. That had about 80 features better than the Reatta XL. Now we have the floor plan we love, the power, the braking, the construction, the colors, and much more.
Here is what that one looks like:

That is one NICE coach!
Glad you finally got it right.
Wish it had a driver's door though.
Happy trails.

Nice rigs. And how much did you lose in trade-ins?

Beautiful Coach! That model was on my short list when I traded in my ‘22 Bounder for a DP.
When we’re purchased our ‘22 Bounder locally we became personal friends with the salesman. Nice guy! Went with us to our son’s high school football games and such. So when we decided to upgrade and traded in the Bounder 4 months later, naturally we went back to him. He was a salesman for the “gas” MH models, but we graduated him up to the DP line which made him very happy. We’re actually fairly good friends now.

Beautiful coach. I think the W floor plan is their best. It is very rare. Been waiting for a W Cornerstone with the correct color scheme to pop up on the used market for months.

Well it wasnt too bad in pricing. Bought the Accolade for 222,000. Traded it back for 220,000. Bought the Reatta for 318,000. Traded it back for 285,000. Paid 370,000 for the Aspire. Sale tax is only on the difference in trade to new price.
We are older, so dont have a lot of time to try them. The price of learning. And yes the dealer loves me. Same dealer.
