Tiffin vs Newmar

Fla Tom, a lot of manufacturers will have a glitch, no matter the price range.

Yep, sometimes the grammar police jump in. But, you spelling 'condensation'....condinsation.... and 'occurred'... as occured is funny. Most Doctors that we know are excellent at what they do, you just can't read their writing... and, they are usually not good typer's either as they have secretaries. :D

As an Accountant, I'm used to crossing my 'i's' and dotting my 't's'.... LOL! :p

MM.

No problems with the radiator but that would be a spartain issue if I did(same as the zepher). Why must you be so defensive?I have no vested intrest in Entegra or Tiffin. I have only posted my experiences with both. What use are tnese forums if people do not honestly post their experiences? We are not in a ford chevy endless argument but wnat is happening now.I owned a Tiffin 45lp and would still if it jad been repaired and not kept developing more issues each trip. How can some one decide weather to buy a new motor home if facts are hidden ? I bet on tiffin and was severely disapointend (I wish I had been happy would have saved $$)

I have had Bob and Don at tiffin bend over backwards to accommidate me

I am very satisfied with Entegra, you must live in the past with Tiffin

But stuff breaks on all MHs so they all will need repair.

We own a 15 year old Newmar, Nothing on the coach has needed any warrantee work. The slide is still working perfectly, every cabinet is perfect, the carpet is like new, all the furniture is still perfect. no window leaks, no wire problems.
Yes I have changed light bulbs, repaired the trim we messed up. changed out several plastic parts. but this Mountain Aire is rock solid, built to last.

that's because you don't hardly ever use it and treat things with kid gloves give that same MH to a couple that use it every day and put thousands of miles on it some boondocking plus a few rough roads now and again, grand kids, a couple dogs etc etc and after 16 years the carpet would need replacing 5 times and lots of little scratches and scraps trust me your situation is not the norm and far from it
tons of newmars just like tiffins and entegras that require warrenty repairs of one sort or the other

seeking warrenty work in redbay does not require nor have much bearing on what a dealer says one way or the other
Your best bet in hindsight would have been to go to redbay

Again I was told by tiffins rep (not a dealer employee) and I called tiffins service # and was told the same. We work full time and after being told by two Tiffin employees our problem would ot be taken care of I did not feel I prudent to make the trip to red bay(while payin g my staff and overhead) . In hind site I should have listened to my sales person and bought the Entegra to start with.

WOW sounds like a major incompetent dealer issue. There is no way that I would get rid of a one year old 45LP because somebody told me that is as good as it gets. It would be interesting to know who you talked with at Tiffin. If you had called Bob Tiffin that person would have been looking for employment by morning. I know that top management has always done everything in their power to satisfy the customer.

Admitedly I did not call bob . I was told by the tiffin rep a lazydays(tiffin employee) I can look at my paper work but can not remember his name at this time. I was extremely disapointed with our experiance I did call tiffins service number they refered me to their representative at lazydays (the same who told me it was as good as it gets) I have bad allergies with the mold and mildew forming under the dash I was havi ng respiratory issues. I still work full time and can not spend weeks in red bay hoping for a fix (that was not autherized at the dealer)

Any tiffin rep who said that is incompetent and I would avoid the rep and lazydays if they could not perform the repair which is relatively simple once you find the unsealed locations. Unfortunately all to many MHs are produced with poor seals including mine. But we got ours repaired.

I have bought two tiffins and both needed more repair than they should have imo. But stuff breaks on all MHs so they all will need repair.

Friends' problems with Entegra, door fit problem, never totally cured, but they can live with it, slide leak problems at the bottom of slide when retracted immediately come to mind. Winnebago problems are too numerous to remember, bed problem, repeated slide problems with the famous Swintech slides, paint issues, etc. etc.

Thanks. I'm not finding the Schwintek except on the brand new tour.

tiffin also uses schwintek
