All three will come with the ISL (L9) 450 Cummins engine and side radiator. The photo of the one side radiator engine above, is not a fair example of the models you're looking at, as it's a larger ISX in an older coach.
All three are good coaches....when we looked the last two times, we narrowed our search down to Newmar and Tiffin, sorry, the Entegra exteriors were too gaudy for our tastes.
Our friends have an Allegro Bus, I've compared features and it's an even trade off... their coach has features I would like and mine has features that theirs doesn't.
Important to us was the side radiator, 450 ISL, Independent Front Suspension (IFS), all tile, hydronic heating, stacked washer and dryer, integrated awnings (facades along the roof line), bath and half, and several less important items that we liked and wanted.
For US, the Newmar coach had a couple of things that sold us over the Allegro Bus. I wanted a tag axle, but wanted to stay at 40' for licensing reasons in California. Newmar is the only brand making a tag in 40'. The other option which we first tried in our 2014 Dutch Star and knew was a must have in our 2019 Dutch Star, was Comfort Drive. It's a patented steering assist system that really makes driving the coach all day....effortless.
So in the end, Newmar won out for us, but both times we bought new and finding what we wanted was easier. Looking for a specific year(s) used coach, both Tiffin and Newmar would have been winners.
