Holiday Rambler vs Allegro Bus
Looking at a 42 tag 2008 Scepter, comparing to similar Allegro Bus. Any thoughts?
Forum Discussion
We have both Scepter and an Allegro Bus in our small RV Club. Plus several more Holiday Ramblers and several other Tiffins. A couple of the Tiffin owners have complained about long waits to get work done at Red Bay AL.
Personally I would buy the one you like the best and is in the best condition. Make sure the floorpan works for you. And that you like driving the coach. There are significant differences in how well these things handle high winds, big hills up and down, and road stability.
Both the Allegro Bus and the HR Scepter are high end rigs. I like long chassis with short overhangs on both ends of the coach. Those drive better. And big motors. In my experience big diesel motors do not cost you in fuel mileage. Both HR and Tiffin will slip in a too small motor if you are not careful. So make sure the one you buy does not have this problem. Also I think Tiffin has double pane side windows as an option. I would never buy a coach without double pane windows.
