MELROSE PARK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Under a new multi-year agreement, Navistar Engine Group will supply its advanced V8 turbo diesel engine to Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc., a leading maker of Class A recreational vehicles. Beginning in June, MaxxForce® 7 engines, manufactured in Huntsville, Alabama, will power Tiffin’s new Allegro Breeze® RV, manufactured in Red Bay, Alabama.
“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 press release goes on to say:
The V8 diesel pushers will be fully compliant with applicable EPA emissions standards. Tiffin will use 6.4-liter MaxxForce 7 engines rated at 215 horsepower 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 annual Recreational Vehicle Industry Association's 47th Annual National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Kentucky, and was awarded “Best in Show”. At 28 feet, the Allegro Breeze RV is 17 feet shorter than Tiffin’s top-of-the-line Zephyr® RV, but only 9.5 feet longer than a typical full-size SUV. The Allegro Breeze GVWR is 21,500 lbs. The Allegro Breeze RV will begin appearing at Tiffin's network of dealerships in the U.S. and Canada in June 2010. 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 Motorhomes received one of three prestigious Quality Circle Awards presented by the Recreational Vehicle Dealers Association to Class A motorhome manufacturers this year for design, reliability, quality, value and competitive price.

Navistar Engine Group, an operating unit of Navistar Inc., produces diesel engines for consumer and commercial automotive and industrial markets around the world. Its global MaxxForce® brand line of engines offers models for a wide range of applications and for all global emissions standards. For more information, visit www.MaxxForce.com.

| Re: Tiffin Allegro Bay | Norman Smith | We purchased a 04 Allergro 30'from an RV dealer in OR the RV is great but due to poor cust svc we waited over a month to get it and then we were charged over $2000.00 for repairs. Please help.

| Re: Tiffin Allegro Breeze class A motorhome | Steve and Jennifer | Bob and family have it done it once again...we are on our 8th Tiffin motohome and have nothing but "praise" for Tiffin. Bob truly believes in "we go where you go" as he stated to me once because his family name is on the side of every coach built. We love you Bob and Judy and keep up the excellent work. We are so proud of how you weathered the recent financial crisis and have emerged so much stronger. We will continue to pray for you and your family. |
| Re: Tiffin Allegro Breeze class A motorhome | Brenda | Does anyone know where the resettable fuses are? We lost air and radio and other power on the dash and the driver's electric seat. |
| Re: Tiffin Allegro Bay | Don & Mary | We are looking for a pre-owned Allegro Bay Diesel. We presently own an Allegro Open Road, but would like to move to the next level. Anyone need a buyer?? We're seriously looking for one with at least three slides, low miles and a washer/dryer, or washer and dryer. |
| Re: Tiffin Allegro 2009 36 feet diesel pusher | jean Smith | Want to own a diesel pusher 36ft.four slides 2009 or 2010 |
| Re: Tiffin Allegro Breeze class A motorhome | Pat C. | Really like the looks of the new Tiffin Breeze. Looks like it has lots of basement storage that I lack. And diesel to boot! I have a 1994 Allegro DA28 which is great. Will have to wait another 15 years to find a used Breeze that I can afford. Maybe I'll win the lottery! |
| Re: Tiffin Allegro Breeze class A motorhome | Kevin 457 | I'm really interested. Don't want to drive a 40er any more. Waiting to see pricing. Great idea. |
| Re: Tiffin Allegro class A motorhome | Casey K | Tiffins just keep getting better, in fact I think they're the best. I have a 2007 Allegro and it's a delight. |
| Re: Tiffin Allegro Bay | Skip | We purchased our 2009 Allegro Bay late last year. We absolutely love it. We traded in our 'ol Winnie in on it and have never been happier. The people at Happy Daze RV took care of us. Top notch customer service for us. I recommend Tiffin over anything else out there. We were looking into a Monaco, but the Allegro Bay grabbed our attention and has not givin us one issue. |
| 2008 Tiffin Allegro Bay class A motorhome | Bob & Pat | Bought an 08 Allegro 34' at recommendation of friends. Unhappy with dealer we purchased from. Leave that one be. But are very happy with response from Bob Tiffin regarding front windshield that had to be replaced twice. So far no problems. All other problems minor & fixed easily. We have been looking at other RV's & keep going back to our Allegro. Just like it best. We are thinking upgrading to a diesel & have been doing a lot of comparing and are convinced that we will stay with Tiffin product of some kind. |
| Re: Tiffin Allegro Bay | Russ | I am the proud owner of a 2007 Alegro Bay Fred. I had a 2005 Alegro that I also bought new (Workhorse) Had no and I mean no problems with this one. I did have some problems with the bay that were corrected at the factory. Met Bob Tiffin at Lazy Days, FL in the year 2000 and I think he is one of the nicest men you will ever meet. He does his best to satisfy his customers. |
| Re: 2008 Tiffin Allegro | Don W. | I have a 2007 Allegro 34 TGA on a workhorse chassis with 6500 miles. It is a great motorhome. |
| Tiffin Allegro motorhomes | daywalker567 | We too have owned 2 Tiffin Allegros. We bought both used. The first was a 1996 with no slides. It had been maintained extremely well and brought us a really good trade in value when we upgraded to a 2005 with 2 slides. Both were 28 feet long. We love camping in our 05 and have had no problems with either of them. Great products from a great manufacturer who stands behind his products. |
| Re: Tiffin Allegro Bay | Rick | I have a 1979 29' Tiffin triple door. I've been looking for a 1982 or 1983 34' triple door. Does any body know of one for sale/trade preferably gas? Thanks. |
| 2007 Tiffin Allegro Bay | Frank T | I purchased my first new Allegro in 1986 & had it for 10 yrs. when someone decided to alter the shape of it. I the got a used brand "X" and kept it for one year then purchased a new 1997 Allegro Bay I had that until I bought my 2007 Allegro Bay. I have been to the factory several time and was treated like royalty, any problems that I had (minor ones) were corrected promptly. The service you get with Tiffin Motor Homes is great whether done at the factory or at the dealers. Great product I wouldn't even think of buying another brand when I buy another motorhome. |
| 2009 Tiffin Allegro Bay | Dr. Wayne Scott | Over the past 4 months I have had the opportunity to test drive 3 Allegro Bay FRED's. All were the 36 or 37 foot version. Noise was very low and 100 times more quiet than my Ford F53 with a V-10. Stability in my opinion is better than any Diesel Pusher that I test drove, and I have driven over 20 different Diesel Pushers from Country Coach, Monaco, Gulfstream, Dutch Star, Newmar, Holiday Rambler, Beaver, and Winnebego. The FRED with all that weight right over the front wheels is as "steady as a rock" in the wind and around 18 wheelers. I found power, speed and torque to be very adequate. Also because of a bad salesman, at a dealership....Mr. Bob Tiffin even had one deivered to my house, for me to test drive. YOU CAN BELIEVE ALL OF THE GOOD THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE AT TIFFIN !!!!!! THEY ARE TRUE !!!! And I believe that the Tiffin FRED's are a great product. If it hadn't been for a divorce and my ex-wife stealing $80,000 Dollars out of the bank accounts I would have had a Tiffin by now. |
| Re: 2008 Tiffin Phaeton | M Jeffries | We are actively searching for our first motorhome and find the Phaeton to be the best value. It is very luxurious with all the features we are looking for at up to half the cost of some other brands. It drives like a dream, too. |
| 2008 Tiffin Phaeton | Dusty M | We bought a phaeton in Jan 08. We set out traveling, and it has been a dream come true. We stopped by Red Bay to get a windshield replced. A rock had damaged it. Every one asked did you meet Bob Tiffn. I answer yes. I met his caring professionls. His enormous facilities, toured his plant, and even powered my motor home with his electricity. Yes I met him, without borthering him. HATS OFF to you BOB you designed a good product, sell it at a resonable price. And by way of our visit I found you back it up with goodwill toward your customers.
|
| 1989Tiffin Allegro | John K | We have a 89 allegro, we love it. we intend to visit Bob Tiffin in march and hope to meet him. Never heard a bad comment about Tiffin. |
| 2007 Tiffin Phaeton | C & L | We have a 2007 40 ft Phaeton. We absolutely love it. Tiffin products are QUALITY. It is true they offer the best customer service we have ever seen. We have had a few items that needed to be to be fixed -- they were done without hesitation and done totally professional. |
