TIFFIN MODELS - DRIVING COMPARISONS
I currently have a 2014 35 ft Tiffin Allegro RED. We travel appx 5-6 months out of the year so we are driving quite a bit. I'm considering upgrading to a Phaeton or Tiffin Bus but want to stay 36-38...

There is no real difference in ride between the Powerglide and the Freightliner chassis. The main reason Tiffin builds their own chassis was to get rid of the Headache the customer has when dealing with Freightliner. With Powerglide, you deal with Tiffin and the Engine and Transmission maker only. Doug
:h
Headache? What headache?
I've had two motorhomes using the Freightliner chassis. I've never had any major issues or headaches with either. The Freightliner chassis has performed very well for me. Freightliner service has been superb. I've only had a few minor issues and Freightliner covered those under warranty.
No complaints at all with Freightliner.
YOU are the exception. Most of my customers HATE dealing with Freightliner. Freightliner always seems to find anything is NOT a Freightliner issue. They always seem to have a charge regardless of warranty. Tiffin got tired of stepping up and reimbursing his customers for Freightliner charges that were bogus. So, Tiffin decided to build their own chassis and set up Chassis service centers across the nation to handle Powerglide issues. I have been in the service end of Motorhomes for 37 years and trust me, I would NOT want to have a Freightliner chassis due to the bad issues my customers have had. Doug
Wow! I must have been living under a rock for the last 14 years.
I have not heard about 'Most customers' hate dealing with Freightliner. I have four friends with Tiffins on the Freightliner chassis and I have not heard any complaints from them over the last 14 years.
Like I said before, both of our DPs on Freightliner chassis have been trouble free. Combined mileage of our DPs is over 100,000 miles.
Shame on me for being the exception!
Why not do some reading on the Tiffin Owners forum about the Freightliner chassis? Folks there share their honest experience with the Freightliner chassis. Sure you will find folks talking about maintenance and fixing things. But there is not an underlying theme of hating Freightliner.
