Tiffin rant

1 unit this is list of stuff I would think was above a Tiffin,this is my 4th motorhome I kind of been around the block2
2 the window on the pass. seat leaks ,just a little bit only when it rains
3 the jacks sage on driver side every 2or3 days had to raise them
4 I have a squeeky floor in the bedroom I quess that Tiffim for you
5 the swower door is hard to close it hits on the bottom real hard
6 the shower leaks bad [I quess I can caulk it!]
7 I HAVE 3TV's ALL PANISONIC SAME REMOTES YOU CHANGE CHANNELS ON 1 IT DOES IT TO ALL OF THEM YOU CANT USE HEAD PHONES SO YOU CANT HEAR YOUR OWN TV ON A DIFFERENT CHANNEL?? I DIDNT GO TO COLLEGE BUT I FIGURED IT OUT THIS IS A BAD SETUP!!
8 the storage compartment over the drivers seat is about 5 inches to shallow,my satellite reciever stickes out about 4or5 inches it fell down on me going down the road [not a pretty site] it needs to be deeper! come Tiffin I thought you were better than that
9 I have single pain windows and the latches are real hard to open
10 the switches for the water pump are a stupid setup they need to have the lighted type of switch so you can tell if it is on or not
come Tiffin I thought you were better than this

Now I know this is a used unit but still I was expecting better than this

  • You have a used coach. No idea how the previous owner treated it and you think everything is Tiffins fault.
  • I realize you're venting, and I understand that. However as others have stated, many of the items on your list should have been observed by a detailed inspection by someone, such as yourself as a former owner of four coaches.

    The size of the compartment for your satellite receiver is the one that mystifies me as that should have been very obvious. I have a large compartment on the PS that is more than adequate to accommdodate my receiver and HTS.

    Regarding item #7-Remotes. Mine came with the same Panasonic system, but I have upgraded all the TVs to different models, so it's been a while. However when I had the all Panasonic system I believe they had a mode selection called EZ Sync (or something like that), that would do just what you're describing. You need to read the manual and go into the on-screen menu selctions to turn that feature off. Then each TV will work independently.

    Sounds like you might have a hydraulic leak on your DS jacks, but for the most part, as others have stated, you have a four year old coach just needs some simple repairs.
  • I dunno about anyone else, but that looks like a typical weekend work list to me :)

    At least the window only leaks when it rains. Hate to have one that leaked when it was dry.
  • Quote - "9 I have single pain windows and the latches are real hard to open"

    Does that mean that the latches only pinch you when opening them? I have double-pane windows, but the latches don't pinch in either direction. So, I guess that they're really "no pain" windows?

    Quote - "6 the shower leaks bad (I quess I can chalk it!)"

    Wouldn't chalk just wash off? I've never tried to fix a leak with chalk before - but we haven't had any around here since our son had the large ones he used for making "murals" on our driveway back when he was in his artist phase. Do you reckon they'd be the right kind (and color) for that type of repair?
  • you are rite I did paste this,part of it didn't get pasted
    This unit is a QBA 35' 2013 with 15000 mi when I got it last summer these things might seem trivial to you but for a quality coach this new it shouldn't have a squeaky floor my 2004 Bounder had none of these problems so yes I am a little put out
    I don't know for sure but I believe this is Tiffins entry level coach but it should still be a Tiffin,the cabinetry is beautiful. I didn't mention the $1000
    I had to put in it before we left for Florida one slide only worked when it wanted to another one was out of square that must be Tiffin for you!
  • Some remotes have two settings. One is RF or radio Frequency which means it does not need to be line of sight. Two is infrared which means it must be line of sight. The two on infrared must have the remote pointed directly at the TV. The RF one can be pointed at the deck and still work

  • One thing you can fix is the tv remotes. Change to to the infrared and leave the main one on RF. I have a new Winnebago. Also a bunch of issues.
