  • We finally were able to find a good price on a new Tiffin motorhome so we traded the American Coach and ended our problems - for now!

    My neighbor has had many class A diesel pushers, and their latest one is a Tiffin Allegro Bus as well. His assessment on Tiffin was that “it’s not necessarily built better then some of the rest, but their service is second to none. They get u fixed. Their bus was out of warranty on some issue, and Tiffin still fixed it for free. That’s a big A+ right there when choosing who you’re going to give your money to when deciding on a manufacturer.

    Congrats on your Tiffin! It just goes to show more expensive isn't always better. Quality responsive service is every bit as important as the quality of the initial build.

    Just stumbled upon your channel and have been enthralled with your journey. I admire your can do attitude and grit to stick with RVing after all you've been through. We have had no issues with our Newmar purchased new from the factory in 2018 other than a clothes washer replaced under warranty. I understand that most people have had good luck with Tiffen also so hopefully your experience should change for the better.

    Stumbled upon you guys, very informative and obviously unbiased! I'm pretty sure you slide outs cabinets that you bent the handle (8:30) has a pneumatic lock on it. Couldn't tell for sure but there should be a button just above the cabinet to lock it up. Between you guys and Outside our Bubble it looks like Tiffin is the way to go. Hope you enjoy winter somewhere warm and safe.

    Happy you were able to trade out the American. Sad for me to see all of these issues you had with the American. My father had 2 Eagles. A 98 and an 05. He had very good service with both of those units. I understand that Tiffin has great customer service. These units do take constant attention. So much that can go wrong and maintain and attend to. Our Wanderlodge is no exception either. Here's to great travels and great memories. Thanks for your videos.

  • @louisstennes3
    @louisstennes3 2 года назад

    So informative. Thank you. I think one of the things I picked up is that if I ever could afford such a lifestyle, regardless of type or size of camper I would sacrifice room and avoid slide outs. Friends I know that camp , to the last person they have all had issues with slide outs and they were not easy to repair.

    • @robertborchert932
      @robertborchert932 Год назад

      I'm old school. Slide outs have advantages, and some interesting drawbacks. The floorplan of the coach is a compromise when they are retracted. And when they are extended, you must allow for the extension. Full disclosure, they give some nice room when extended, and I understand the logic!
      The downside. Seals, drainage, and mechanical issues. A power slide operates with one of two methods electric mechanical rams, or hydraulic. I have repaired both. Absolute truth, If I had a coach with slides, In the large bay, I would always carry a spare ram. On the road, priorities. If you have a problem, swap the spare, and enjoy the tour. Period. Mobile service is an expensive option, and add the time involved for parts.
      If you have slides, always be prepared to maintain them. Paying to reseal is expensive, but with care, this is something you can do yourself Thise seals have a limited lifetime, and leaks cost more than the seals by a long shot.
      One more thought, the power, water, and drain lines on a slide? Yep, check the angles, the routing, and plan to repair these lines.
      Overall, I like the professional coaches. What is this? These coaches don't have slides, they have a driver, and the folks on the road enjoy the coach underway. Think musicians on tour for example.
      I am biased, I really love the classic Prevost coaches. 1990s. Beautiful riveted sides. Detroit Diesels.
      Just reworked the hydraulic ram and seals on a friend's Safari (Monaco) this last week. Leaking seal, water line, and rebuilt the hydraulic ram. I turn wrenches for a living, for 36 years. No, didn't charge him one penny. A labor of love.
      Yep, I love watching you guys enjoy the life. I know just how expensive it is, and at 57, I would love to share in this experience soon. Safe travels!

Their sevice center is by their plant. Go on RUclips and find Tiffin owners. Love the clear LED's inside your Coach. Don't have a class A; . And don't really plan to anytime soon until i'm semi-retired in a couple of years. In my mid 50's and we're into our boats. So for now we enjoy our Travel Trailer. Thanks for taking us along.

I called Tiffin and they had us call a repairman who came out the next day. The Rv was out of warranty but Tiffin paid us with no problem. Can’t beat Tiffin customer service.

    Sure hope you have better luck on this coach, it looks great. I mean absolutely no offense to this because that coach looks amazing but w/ all you went through, this is one reason that I wanted an actual bus and not a motorhome. I have a 2003 Prevost XLII Ex Hemphill Bros "star" or "entertainer" coach...(lots O' miles on her) but they are million mile coach's....tradeoff is that it doesn't look as modern as this circa coach, but I have spent about $50K to modernize and re do the interior, $25K on the exterior doesn't squeak or rattle and it drives great (also non DEF) which is huge. I hope this coach is reliable and safe for you in you're travels, it looks very nice.

    But, I cannot imagine spending the amount you have on an rv and not have everything perfect. As in NO issues. Leaking shower? And this from a top manufacturer. 🙄
    While I'm certainly not in your purchasing range and buying used, I have been able to buy low mileage Class C & B+ rvs off Craigslist or Marketplace which have taken minor amounts to bring them back to excellent condition. No repairs which involved a dealer.
