Tiffin 33AA Offers Opposing ‘Flat-Floor’ Slides

Tiffin Motorhomes Inc. for 2013 has added a 33-foot floorplan with opposing flat-floor slideouts from HWH Corp. to the Class A Allegro RED. Although this is the shortest of five RED (rear engine diesel) floorplans, ”the flat floor give us incredible width and the ability to do different configurations,” said Jerry Williamson, national sales manager for the Red Bay, Ala., motorized manufacturer. ”You could hold a wedding inside.” Tiffin has spiffed up the 2013 RED with interior LED lighting throughout, a new burlwood cockpit dash, Gibraltar solid-surface countertops and solid-wood cherry cabinets. An ultra-thin flatscreen bedroom TV — one of four in the coach — is built into an overhead cabinet door that flips up to expose the entertainment center. Built on a 29,500-pound GVWR raised-rail Freightliner XC chassis equipped with a 340-hp Cummins ISB engine, the 33AA floorplan retails for $220,290.

Tiffin Ads Key on Heated ‘Bama, Auburn Rivalry

As national attention focuses on the football rivalry between Auburn University and the University of Alabama, Tiffin Motorhomes Inc. is capitalizing on fan interest to market their Alabama-built luxury coaches.

New TV spots and web videos launch today featuring the two flagship universities’ mascots, Big Al the Crimson Tide’s elephant and Aubie the Auburn Tiger. The spots can be viewed on Tiffin’s web site at http://www.TiffinMotorhomes.com and on YouTube.

At a time when the intensity of the rivalry has grown on talk radio and online, Tiffin takes a more light-hearted and fun approach, showing Big Al and Aubie playing pranks on each other. Tiffin family members are no strangers to the Iron Bowl rivalry as Van Tiffin (research and development manager) kicked the winning field goal for Alabama to beat Auburn in 1985. Leigh Tiffin, Van’s son, followed in his father’s footsteps both as a kicker at Alabama and now as an employee at Tiffin Motorhomes.

According to Tim Tiffin, general manager of the company, “Both Auburn and Alabama have such great traditions and fans that really support their teams. At Tiffin we’ve enjoyed being a supporter of both teams. If you go visit Auburn, Tuscaloosa and a lot of other college towns on game day, you’re likely to find people tailgating in a Tiffin motor home, so featuring Big Al, Aubie and other college mascots makes a lot of sense to promote our vehicles.”

Mike Thompson RV Honored by Tiffin’s Award

California-based Mike Thompson RV Superstores attributed its commitment to customer service as the key behind the company’s selection as a top selling dealer for Tiffin Motorhomes Inc.

“It is truly an honor to be partnered with such a strong, solid company like Tiffin Motorhomes,” Frank Degelas, owner of Mike Thompson RV, said in a press release. “We knew Tiffin Motorhomes would be a great RV manufacturer to be partnered with as we share the same business philosophy that the customer is No. 1.

Both Tiffin, based in Red Bay, Ala., and Mike Thompson RV are family owned and operated.

“Today’s savvy RV buyer demands value, quality and cutting edge design along with a manufacturer that stands behind their product,” Degelas said. “It is becoming increasingly difficult to find such an RV manufacturer with all of these qualities. In today’s market Tiffin is a rare breed.”

Mike Thompson RV has California locations in Santa Fe Springs, Colton and Cathedral City along with two Orange County stores in Fountain Valley.

MaxxForce V-8 to Power Tiffin Allegro Breeze

Under a new multi-year agreement, Navistar Engine Group will supply its advanced V-8 turbo diesel engine to Tiffin Motor Homes Inc., according to a news release.

Beginning in June, MaxxForce 7 engines, manufactured in Huntsville, Ala., will power the proprietary PowerGlide  chassis under Tiffin’s new Allegro Breeze  RV, manufactured in Red Bay, Ala.

“We’re always looking for new ways to offer more value to our customers, and we’ve done it again with this new high-end, smaller coach,” said Bob Tiffin, CEO of family-owned Tiffin. “The Allegro Breeze is wonderfully maneuverable, easy to park and fun to drive thanks to one of the most powerful, durable and fuel-efficient engines on the market.”

The V-8 diesel pushers will be fully compliant with applicable EPA emissions standards. Tiffin will use 6.4-liter MaxxForce 7 engines rated at 215 hp and 560 lb.-ft. torque.

“MaxxForce engines fit perfectly with Tiffin’s reputation of providing high value and low cost of ownership, while introducing innovative products,” said Eric Tech, president, Navistar Engine Group. “We’re proud to add another industry leader of U.S.-built motorhomes to our list of partners.”

This past November, a concept model Allegro Breeze RV was introduced to dealers and news media at the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association’s 47th Annual National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky., and was awarded “Best in Show” by RVBusiness magazine. At 28 feet, the Allegro Breeze RV is 17 feet shorter than Tiffin’s top-of-the-line Zephyr, but only 9 1/2 feet longer than a typical full-size SUV. The Allegro Breeze GVWR is 21,500 pounds. The Allegro Breeze RV will begin appearing at Tiffin’s network of dealerships in the U.S. and Canada in June. Pricing has not yet been announced.

The MaxxForce 7 will be rear-mounted on Tiffin’s own PowerGlide chassis. Introduced in 2008, the PowerGlide chassis quickly became a popular option, offering one-stop service for Tiffin owners at dealerships and the Tiffin service facility. The PowerGlide chassis for the Allegro Breeze RV is newly designed on a coach-ready platform.

Tiffin Motor Homes received one of three prestigious Quality Circle Awards presented to Class A motorhome manufacturers this year for design, reliability, quality, value and competitive price. For additional information about Tiffin products and services, visit www.tiffinmotorhomes.com.

Navistar Engine Group, an operating unit of Navistar Inc., produces diesel engines for consumer and commercial automotive and industrial markets around the world.
