Is Entegra Cornerstone a REAL Luxury RV?

  • I was asked by my friend Doug Sewell with Sewell MotorCoach to inspect an 2019 Entegra Cornerstone he was interested in purchasing from National Indooor RV Center just a few hours away from my shop in Surprise, AZ. I don't think we have inspected an Entegra together, so I put a video together. Hopefully, we all learn a little something together about the build of the brand.
    Entegra's are a Thor RV luxury brand with quite a colorful history. When Travel Supreme was devastated in the 2008 downturn, Jayco RV purchased their tooling and rights. Jayco had tried and failed to build luxury diesel RV's earlier, kept the Travel Supreme legacy alive by changing little other than the names. When Thor purchased Jayco, they inherited a sought after brand, and surprisingly, did not alter the RV production much.
    While I have been around these brands quite a bit, they are a more rare item than the large volume production RV so I guess we all will learn something together.
    Thanks for watching!

    The number of roof holes are concerning, as well as the non-seamless fiberglass. The battery access is horrendous, but the inside of the coach is truly outstanding, with excellent design and features. Thanks James!!

    Hi James-I love the jets-Sounds of freedom to me -We just bought a 2023 Dutch Star at NIRVC Las Vegas-I loved watching the jets while we were there-I looked at Entegra but decided Newmar was better 🥰🚌🇺🇸⭐️

    Just feel glad for being able to be “irritated” by the “sound of freedom”, as many don’t have the same ability to be irritated - just repressed! So thankful for the “sound of freedom” any time any where! First world problem, so enjoy all the freedoms you can experience!

    Wow James! How cool to know your "star struck" fans got to see you at NIRVC while celebrating their 33rd anniversary! Hope we didn't delay you too much and cause you to get stuck in traffic! Thanks for being generous with your time. As always, thanks for the informative video!!!
    Btw, we love those jets. Our son is stationed at Nellis and we had the opportunity to stay on base in our RV for a month. It never got old:)

    James get a silicone top step cover for your ladder they are cheap and dont slide around those towels are unsafe. Also along with waxing the roof I use the 303 fabric treatment on my acrylic awnings and they are 14 years old and still in good shape, those have suffered from UV not being protected at all...and when Thor took over, quality dropped as well I wont buy a Thor product again good review

    Thanks James I found it very interesting especially the roof and it’s issues. I can’t understand why with all the space available they went for the smallest solar panels. I would have installed the largest possible panels to take full advantage of the power available. It’s a bit of a mess and I’d like to see it repaired prior to it being sold or if not the costs of the repairs reduced from the asking price.
    With so many class A motorhomes hitting the market as the economy turns south I believe it’s time to be more selective and insist on the repairs that have clearly been shown. It’s an interesting time for buyers especially if you have cash. I have seen this RV on Doug’s page and it seems overpriced given the issues that need to be fixed in my humble opinion.
    Keep up the good work and I also thank Doug for choosing the best independent inspector in the country 😉⭐️🕊️💫

    I saw a Foretravel with a bathtub. I guess Entegra wanted to one-up them by building a shallow swimming pool on the roof.

    Like you I was surprised at how many penetrations there were in the roof and the vent cover over the galley. Also, the location of the house batteries is absolutely insane ! The powered engine bay door, to me anyway, is another waste of money and something else to possibly go bad and maybe locking you out of the engine compartment. All in all I'm a little disappointed in some of their design features . I'm sure liking my old '05 Monaco Exec more and more everyday. Instead of looking at newer coaches I'm starting to consider remodeling instead.

    • @rustykramer2072
      @rustykramer2072 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I own a 2006 Dynasty I think you could spend 100K remodeling and updating a SOLID Exec, like you have and be better off than some of the newer stuff costing much more. Especially after reading and watching videos of the folks checking out the new coaches at the big shows down south. Most of them are not impressed with what they are seeing and those were prepped to go to a show....

    Looked at new Cornerstones last year and I believe they now use "pleather". Cabinets were not aligned and just didn't feel like a true luxury MH. We ended up getting a King Aire and LOVE it.

    Do you have a good suggestion please for a Class C RV? My sweet sweet husband passed 4 days ago. We were planning on selling our 2+ acres and moving into an RV and travel living in it full time. He's gone. I'm broken, but I need to continue with our plan. I can't handle this property on my own. Please if you can suggest a Class C RV.... to help me narrow down what I'll be looking at. I really want the largest kitchen space I can get. I know it's crazy but I'll have my 6 cats with me. (tunnel placement through window into a zippered tent for their play area. Thank you for your help. You have the best video's!! My husband really liked watching all of them.

    (shakes head) Wha? When did they open the Surprise location? That snuck up on me. I'm in surprise and as soon as I saw those cable plastics I thought "those are probably cooked by now unless it was stored indoors or under a port cover". Plastics of all kinds perish in PHX heat / sun. I've got less than 6 year old outdoor lights that you can crush with your fingers.
    What's the story on the dual leveling system? I've seen that with a few coaches. Redundancy for redundancies sake or am I missing something obvious? Lastly that 'rose gold' looks more (to my eye - unless the camera is shifting the color massively) like Champagne Gold. That color changes depending on the light hitting it. In white / cool light, it's nearly platinum. When hit with warm or yellow light it goes deep gold.

    From what i have read from Newmar. They produced the Essex to compete with the Cornerstone. 🤔 Looking at the King Aire at 1.7M and the Cornerstone closer to 1.2M. It’s prices closer to the Essex.
