Everywhere I go people rave about their Tiffen.

Do they rave about the quality of the coach or the excellent factory support so many Tiffin owners seem to know about? ;)

I know 4 people who have owned Tiffins in the last 6 years - 3 of them are now former Tiffin owners. Thats say a lot to me.

BTW, the 3 former owners also raved about theirs too - when they owned them.

If everybody liked only one brand, there would be a lot of coach manufacturers that would be out of business.

If those people did not like what they own, they would never have bought it in the first place.

And that is the problem with some RVers in this forum. They think that the coach they own is the only brand worth anything. It is the best of the best. I say that is pure nonsense.

The part in bold really isn't true. The 3 former owners I know all fell for the Tiffin hype - my parents were one of them. Theirs made the seemingly typical trip back to the factory, the "repairs" didn't last the 1,100 mile trip home. It ended up in my garage where after a whole lot of "what were they thinking" :h I fixed it. That and a lot of sealer to getting the bays dried out.

One set actually traded in an Allegro Bus (it was beautiful, for sure) for a Georgetown. They're now back to Winniebago. When asking about Bus you better have some time on your hands - the list is long. Their final straw was when the already repaired sidewall cracked again.

IMO there are better choices than Tiffin - but thats my opinion. Unfortunately that opinion was formed after working on them and talking to friends and family who are now former owners. The funny part is my Mom would still tell you how great theirs was. You can tell she never worked on it. :B
