Sounds like you went to Mike Thompson RV. The biggest idiots in the RV industry.
No matter who the dealer was, call Tiffin and explain how you were treated.
A few years back a friend *scheduled* a drive of a diesel pusher at
the Pomona RV show.
He arrived on time - but the dealership owner kept putting him off.
OK - they're busy, so he was looking around in one of the display MHs until they could get around to his *scheduled* test drive.
He overhears a couple of salesman talking just outside the door
One asks the other who the guy is inside the motor home.
Second salesman says, he isn't going to buy anything, just ignore him.
So much for them - bought a slightly used Foretravel about a week later. (elesewhere, of course).
Most MH dealerships (especially "MT") in So. CA figure the buyer must kneel and kiss the ring (or?) to be allowed to purchase whatever they think he/she should have.
Look here (So. CA), then go elsewhere - preferably out-of-state!
The money you save - will be your own..;)

I looked at Mike Thompson, then looked on line, then drove from CA to IL and picked up what I wanted at a huge savings. The delivery fees of RV's to CA is ridiculous if made in Indiana or Michigan. The labor rates for TT's made in CA is ridiculous also. I did a tour of Lance, and while watching, was convinced the value added for the price wasn't there. Very, very few of the employees had English as a first language, it was questionable if they were even in the USA legally.
