Hello again! Some may remember me as I started a thread back in Sept. 2013 about looking for a vehicle to travel WI to CA with my disabled son and the rest of the family including my elderly mother.Well, I found a beautiful 97 Allegro Bus in my budget and I've put some earnest money down while the sale is pending...on hold mainly for weather reasons. The seller has health issues and I've got mountains of snow in the yard where I will be parking it for the season and the roads are still treacherous up here in Wisconsin so hopefully we'll be able to finish the deal in the next few weeks.I haven't posted since my last thread but I've been in here reading throughout this most awful long winter and I've settled on this Class A forum as home....so I hope you don't mind my sharing!Any tips, tricks, advice, warnings appreciated!

Ask the owner if he has had the "Big 3 " fixes done.Go here to find out more.Tiffin Owners ForumIt will give you something to read while waiting for the snow to melt.:)

Thank you Elias, will do!Fortunately they have kept impressive records on the bus so hopefully those will be recorded.

I found lots of good info over there on the Tiffin Owners Forum including The Big Three. Most of them seem to have much newer coaches than I do though. I think until I have mine here at home I'll stick around here. :)

Best wishes on your purchase. Tiffin produces good coaches and Bob Tiffin is actively engaged in customer-satisfaction activities.

dayakster...It sounds like you'll have some special needs to work out with fitting your family in that coach. Take it out on some local trips and try some different sleeping and eating configurations before making any modifications. Once you find a good set up, do some modifications so that it's easy to operate and your trips will be more enjoyable.When you get done....post back before you make a trip out west and many can recommend some good stops, campgrounds and National Parks to see along the way.
