I believe the Tiffin are very well made. The Phaeton is a very nice mid range coach. I cannot speak on the Fleetwood.
One thing I would consider, and this has been touched upon in previous posts, during the bad times of the late 90's many manufacturers stopped production or went into bankruptcy. Tiffin was one of the few that did not, and in fact prospered. That is one reason why there are so many Tiffin's on the road.
As a new vehicle, and this is common to ALL manufacturers, there are and will be bugs to work out. This is just a fact, whether you are talking Tiffin, Fleetwood or Newmar.
At Hershey last year I had the privilege of speaking personally with Bob Tiffin. Bob was attending and we were looking at Phaetons and Allegro Buses. We climbed inside the bus and closed/locked the door so we would not be disturbed. We spent over an hour talking with Bob about his products and his philosophy about producing his coaches. How many other manufacturers can you talk directly with the owner?
