Tiffin press release - RED BAY, AL --- Tiffin Motorhomes has introduced a 36-ft. diesel pusher in its entry-level Allegro model, providing the advantages of a rear-engine at a head-turning price point.

The new quad-slide 36QSA joins five other Allegro floorplans featuring major improvements for 2009, including 6 inches of additional ceiling height to 7 feet, more spacious cabinetry above and below counters, improved placements for the LCD TVs, larger windows, 22-in. wheels and a windshield shade replacing curtains.

The base retail price of the 36QSA is $185,000, well below typical diesel pushers. The front-engine gas and diesel 2009 Allegros range from $97,300 to $134,050 in base retail prices depending on length, number of slides and chassis.

Rear-engine diesel provides the durability, torque and longterm economical operation of diesel power with greater overall carrying capacity (GVWR), a quieter ride and the added security of air brakes. The 36QSA will be offered on three chassis: Tiffin's own PowerGlide plus Freightliner and Spartan.

"As we read the current Class A market, with value-driven baby boomers and 30-somethings interested in RVing, we expect an exciting reception for this coach when it reaches dealers beginning in January," says Jerry Williamson, Tiffin national sales manager.
The front-kitchen floorplan made its Tiffin debut five months ago in a 40-ft. Allegro Bus, as did bath-and-a-half floorplans for the Allegro Bay, Phaeton, Allegro Bus and Zephyr model lines. Both innovations proved quickly popular at Tiffin's more than 70 dealerships throughout the U.S. and Canada.
