Wanted a 5th wheel until we saw the Tiffin Allegro

We had our hearts set on a Grand Design Solitude.....and the we took a look at the Tiffin Allegro Class A 2017 that had bunks for the grandchildren and the overcab bunk for their parents. It was soooo nice. Okay those that own a Tiffin....is it worth the extra cost. We see a Challenger that looks really nice too....but we keep hearing go with the Tiffin. Opinions?

5th wheels are nice, but who wants to deal with the truck on a regular basis.

We have a `17 35QBA Allegro. We like it. If you go that route make sure the Ford chassis has the six speed tranny, order Sumo Springs and something like the Safe-T-Plus system. The floor plan is very comfortable. As far as ride is concerned it`s an RV on a heavy duty truck chassis. Diesel chassis rides better and more power but is more expensive. Tiffin has a good owner net network. We had a Montana fifth wheel before this.

After several years of shopping we narrowed our choice down to Tiffin and Newmar. We chose a 2016 Allegro Open Road model 32SA and am very pleased. Newmar was also a very nice coach but liked the fit and finish in the Tiffin.
Good Luck

Before you plunk down the cash,, go shopping, treat your self to a Newmar with Comfort Drive.

I don't own one but I'm a driver for a major RV dealer so I get to drive most all of them. The Allegro Open Road is by far the quietest and smoothest riding gasser Class A on the market. On the other side the Thor Challenger is the noisiest and seems the cheapest built. See for yourself and take them for a test drive. Tiffin has excellent customer service from owners I've talked with. I wouldn't hesitate buying an Allegro and wouldn't look twice at the Challenger.

You say the gas Allegro is the quietest and smoothest of other gas class A's, how so in the smoothest if they are on the same chassis and year, as to quiet yes some do not have sound proofing in the engine compartment area.

Does Tiffin do suspension upgrades ?

I just drive 'em.

Tiffin makes an excellent motor home.

Why does the Allegro not have the power bunk? That is a great feature.

The over head bunk is really a one person deal. It folds open rather than lowering like in some other brands.
We have a new 32SA
