Entegra Coach Hosts 2024 Homecoming

June 01, 2024

Goshen, Ind. – Last week, Entegra Coach® hosted its annual owner’s Homecoming event.
This year nearly 500 luxury diesel coach owners, Entegra Coach staff and suppliers
attended to teach and learn about their coaches, celebrate each other and make memories.
Approximately 200 coaches arrived at the Elkhart County 4-H® Fairgrounds in Goshen,
Indiana and festivities ran from 8am Tuesday, May14th through noon on Friday, May 17th.

Senior Director of Product Development, Pat Carroll, held the annual “What’s New” session
to discuss all of the changes and additions to the 2025 models Tuesday. Owners then
walked through a full display of new models and spent one-on-one time with the Entegra
Coach sales and product development teams. The evening concluded with a happy hour
and a BBQ with campfires, games and music from the band South of Somewhere.

Wednesday was filled with training classes and a vendor fair. The country themed evening
began with Entegra Coach Ambassadors - Anne Klumpp and Jeri & Kenny Saulsbury
followed by a management program featuring Trey Miller, Vice President of Marketing, Nic
Martin, Vice President of Sales, and Ken Walters, President & CEO. The night continued
with music from Nashville’s Justin Bryan Band and concluded with the headliner Larry
Fleet. Larry is an Entegra Coach Cornerstone owner and was recently awarded his first
certified gold record for his hit single “Where I Find God”. He has toured with country music
legends including Willie Nelson and Morgan Wallen, and last year sold out Nashville’s
historic Ryman Auditorium to kick off his own headlining tour. The evening finished with the
tradition of all owners returning to their coaches and turning on their ‘C’ lights across the
fairgrounds.

Training classes resumed and continued throughout the day Thursday. The evening began
with Steve Claude, Vice President of Customer Service, introducing the team responsible
for servicing coaches and providing technical support throughout the week. Guests were
then treated to a Jimmy Buffett tribute night which kicked off with steel drums during cocktail
hour. Following dinner, Aloha and Fire Dancers gave a memorable performance and held a
limbo contest followed by the traditional conga line lead by Director of Customer Service,
Jacob Shearer. The evening concluded with headliners A1A – The Original (and only
certified) Jimmy Buffett Cover Band.

Pat Carroll’s Suggestion Session was the highlight of Friday, where owners had a chance to
provide the product development, engineering, sales and executive teams with feedback on
ways to improve coaches for the following model year. At noon units began to leave the
fairgrounds to conclude the 2024 event.

“This week tops our Entegra Coach calendar every year and this year was no different,”
stated Nic Martin – Vice President of Sales. “The feedback from our owner’s on this year’s
event has been extremely positive and it was great to be able to express our gratitude for
their business this week, while seeking and receiving input on how we can continue to
improve.”

The event was made possible by Platinum sponsor Spartan® RV Chassis, Gold sponsors
Lippert®, SkyMed® and Patrick® along with many more Silver and Bronze level sponsors.
Dates for the annual 2025 Entegra Coach Homecoming event will be May 13th – 16th at its
traditional location, the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds.
