Winnebago vs Tiffin
Looking at the Winnegago Solei & the Tiffin 38 Red both with bunks I would appreciate your feedback on a Winnebago vs a Tiffin. I really like the bath & 1/2 in the Solei but not the light interior col...

My previous MH, which I truly enjoyed, was a Winnebago Adventurer 38ft, gas engine, and I kept it 11 years. My current MH is an Allegro Red 38ft, purchased in Oct 2014. I am really enjoying it too. Forgetting that one is gas and the other diesel, which give an entirely different ride and load capacity...The Tiffin floor plan was very well thought out leaving me with very little to do to "customize" the interior to our liking. A few clothing hooks, and an added shelf or two in a cabinet and we were ready to roll. Shopping for the new motorhome took almost 2 years. We really wanted an RV that permitted easy walking from the front to the toilet and frig while closed (rolling down the road). Many RVs required you walk sideways, and twist...us older people have a real problem with that. I also insisted on windows on both sides for the passengers. When traveling with the grandkids I want them to see the sights on both sides of the road...(Look At The Moose!!!) Tiffin provided for both, the Journey was a bit tight in the closed position. Others were impossible and impassable.
The finish on the Winnebago can arguably be said to be "better" in that every wire and duct is hidden. The hide might be flimsy, but the camouflage is complete. In the Tiffin at the slides and in some corners you can see the workings...this might not be so bad if it comes to a repair. Service: To date, I have had two concerns regarding the Tiffin, how to work the TVs (all linked together by a central controller) and a weak cabinet support (easily fixed). In both cases I sent an e-mail to Tiffin and received a phone call from a specialist THE NEXT DAY. That is fantastic customer service. I also received a phone call from Bob Tiffin, the patriarch CEO, making sure I was happy.I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend a Tiffin. My Winnebago was a great MH too. Guess I'm not much help. But Happy Trails.
