Roaming Times brings you the Tiffin press release of December 2009. We will -provide a full review with interior pictures, floorplans etc. as soon as details become available:
RED BAY, AL – T he winds of change are blowing at Tiffin Motorhomes, where the high-end, compact-sized Allegro Breeze has joined the Zephyr and other popular models. At 28 feet, the Allegro Breeze is 17 feet shorter than the top-of-the-line tag-axle Zephyr, but only 9.5 feet longer than a Chevrolet Suburban. The Allegro Breeze GVWR is 21,500 lbs.
“The Breeze is responsive to our customers, dealers and others in the RV market,” says Bob Tiffin, CEO of the family-owned Class A manufacturer founded in 1972. “This coach is wonderfully maneuverable and easy to park, and we’ve included many of the high-end touches of our much-larger diesel pushers.”
A concept model Allegro Breeze was introduced to dealers and news media today at the annual Recreational Vehicle Industry Association’s 47th Annual National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky. The Allegro Breeze will begin appearing at Tiffin’s network of dealerships in the U.S. and Canada in March 2010. Pricing has not been established.
Powered by a Navistar Maxxforce 215-horsepower diesel pusher manufactured in Huntsville, Ala., near the Tiffin plant, the Allegro Breeze is built on Tiffin’s own PowerGlide chassis. Introduced in 2008 on the Allegro Bus, 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 is newly designed on a coach-ready platform

“This new motorhome enables us to reach out to new markets, including younger families seeking an alternative to more costly vacation arrangements and veteran RV folks who no longer want to drive, set up or maintain a 40-foot-plus diesel pusher,” explains Tim Tiffin, general manager. “While we don’t have specific numbers yet, we expect the Allegro Breeze will have good fuel economy somewhere in the mid-teens of MPG as a smaller, lighter coach with the Navistar engine. We will learn more in road-testing.”
All the allure of the single-slide Allegro Breeze is not in the performance.
“The Allegro Breeze is a contemporary, exciting, high-end smaller coach,” Bob Tiffin adds. “The furniture and dcor are sleek. We also came up with a very attractive antique white finish for cabinets and drawer fronts. The whole package will be eye-catching at the beach, a tail-gating party or a campground. As the economy rebounds, we predict customers will clearly see the passion, value and quality we put into this new coach.”
