maj easy your the first to speak of the tiffen (fred) not familiar with that model but it's a surprise that they let that unit out.
I saw a new marquis from beaver advertised at 729,000 and requested a sales price and received 552,000 and probably could get more but these units are priced out of my market I need to be 350,000 max and that would have to be "I can't live without it" fever which is not my bag. We have been here for several years and have been able to save but worked hard steady so when we get to spend this we want to really get a bang for the buck. Thanks for your info
best regards, paul

gpn..You'll find far more positive comments on Tiffin products than negative comments. Especially the FRED based unit's. I spent weeks researching every brand and made the decision of buy a Tiffin because of their factory support, my local dealer and overall quality and standard features. Do note that FRED's are not used in the price point units you are looking at. By any manufacturer that is. The Allegro is their entry level MH. I will not comment about his negative posting other than to say he didn't sway my opinion. The more I looked, the more I was convinced that Tiffin was the right choice. That's not to say there are not other brands as good. I just try to give a honest opinion without being overly negative.
You cannot compare a sub 100K coach to 200K++ coach of any brand.

gouda copy that not all are happy with what has happened to them. Reasearch pays off in gold my friend and you did your homework. I like that tiffen allegro like yours too and will make the effort to visit the plant to see the pros at work.
Thanks for the comments enjoy the new unit we envy you.
Regards
Paul

The "Travel Supremes" that are left are the best deal in the market place it you work your deal right. offer less than 50% of MSRP and you will get a heck of a quality coach.
If you do buy one have Supreme Service in Elkart do a through PDI on the unit as they know the coach inside and out!!!
