With Entegra Coach transitioning its Class A diesel lineup to Tiffin, RVers are wondering what this means for quality, service, and brand loyalty. Here’s how it could impact your next luxury motorhome decision.
Big news in the Class A RV world: Entegra Coach, a long-time favorite among luxury motorhome enthusiasts, is transitioning its diesel pusher lineup under the Tiffin Motorhomes umbrella. For some, this feels a bit like learning your favorite chef just handed over the kitchen keys. For others, it’s a promising shift toward streamlined service and product alignment.
If you’re eyeing a luxury RV—or already loyal to the Entegra name—here’s what this move could mean for your experience behind the wheel.
What’s Changing—and What’s Not
In short, Entegra’s Class A diesel models will now be manufactured and supported by Tiffin, another brand under the Thor Industries portfolio. This doesn’t mean Entegra is disappearing—it will continue to focus on its Class B, C, and gas-powered Class A coaches.
Tiffin, known for its Allegro line and long-standing craftsmanship, will essentially absorb the diesel segment. From the outside, this could look like a mere reshuffling of corporate parts. But for consumers, this reshuffle may touch every part of the ownership journey—from pre-purchase research to after-sale support.
What It Means for RV Buyers
Let’s break down the big questions floating around the campfire.
Will the Experience Feel the Same?
Not exactly. While both Entegra and Tiffin are under the Thor umbrella, they’ve cultivated distinct reputations. Entegra fans love the brand for its “quiet ride” engineering and high-end fit and finish, while Tiffin’s devotees point to family-run heritage and service reliability.
Expect Tiffin to honor core features from Entegra’s diesel pushers—but also expect a gradual blending of design philosophy, build processes, and maybe even floorplans.
How Will This Impact Service and Support?
This is where it could get bumpy—or smoother, depending on your dealership and geography. Tiffin has a robust support network, particularly strong in the Southeast and Midwest. If you were previously leaning on Entegra’s Indiana-based support system, you might find things shifting (hopefully for the better).
In theory, having fewer factories focused on diesel production could mean better quality control and more streamlined parts availability, but it may take time to smooth out the logistics.
Is This Just a Corporate Cost-Cutting Move?
That’s the elephant in the showroom. While Thor hasn’t said this outright, consolidating similar product lines under one brand almost always hints at operational efficiency. That could lead to better pricing, tighter supply chains, and more consistency across diesel models. But if you’re the sentimental type, it might also feel like a goodbye to Entegra’s boutique diesel era.
The Upshot for Luxury RVers
If you’re brand-loyal to Entegra and considering a diesel Class A, this is your cue to start watching how Tiffin integrates those models. If you’re brand-curious—or simply looking for the best luxury experience—this consolidation could mean a stronger product in the long run, backed by Tiffin’s solid dealer network and Thor’s scale.
Either way, your road trip just got a little more interesting. Maybe even… complicated. Think of it like showing up to your favorite campground and finding that someone rearranged the hookups and installed a fancy espresso bar. It’s still your favorite place—but it might take a few test sips before you know if you love the new brew.
