Oh yeah, forgot one:  the more expensive the rig, the greater the discount you should expect.

I received 24% off MSRP for 2011 Tiffin Phaeton.  I worked several dealerships back and forth for 3 months until I paid what I thought I should pay.  The problem I found is that profit margins are not easily obtainable in the RV industry as they are in the car industry.  My research indicates 18...

That's what I thought.  Thanks Ned!! rob

As a prior chemist, I am proud to see discussions of applications of the kinetic molecular theory on the RV forum.  Brings tears rto my eyes!

We are in the process of purchasing a motorhome.  We are planning to park it in our driveway that is sloped.  Besides the obvious issues of the refrigerator and blocking the wheels, it there any reason why a MH should not be parked for an extended period of time in  sloped driveway, say about 15...

Just my two cents worth from a forensic/legal standpoint being a medical examiner:    if you ever need to shoot someone in self-defense, make sure it is on their frontside or have a witness to corroborate your self-defense.  If you shoot them and they are fleeing, i.e., you shoot them in the...

That was a totally different question.  What I meant was why do some rigs have two A/C units (front and rear) while others are optioned with three A/C units (two front and one rear) for the same length and class?  Does that extra front unit make a big difference?  In other words, would I be...

Thanks for all of the advice. One more question:  Does it make a big difference having 3 A/C units vice 2 A/C units?

Ned, That is exactly what he was saying.  Does the furnace generally work with LP only?  Yes, the coach does have AC heat pumps.  Thanks! rob

We are in the process of purchasing our first MH and have decided on a Tiffin Phaeton.  One concern I have is heating the unit.  I asked the dealer to fire up the heaters with the generator running and surprisingly, was told the temperature would not rise over about 40 degrees in most MHs...

Thanks Gary!

Are there any Tiffin owners out there?  I would like to know what comments there are about Tiffin MHs, likes and dislikes.  If there are any owners that have had Tiffin and Winnie, I would like to hear which you like the best.  I have narrowed my selection to Winnie diesel 39 vs. Tiffin Phaeton...

Thanks guys!

Does anyone own a rig with the Maxxforce engine and roadmaster chassis?  I am curious about how the Roadmaster chassis compares to the Freightliner.  I understand that the Maxxforce engine meets current EPA standards without the addition of the DEF stuff.  But how does the longevity and quality...

We have looked at many MHs already and seem to be concentrating on three:  Winnie, Monaco, and Newmar.  Any comments from owners of any of these?  Interested in diesels only.  We have found floorplans of all three that we like.  Would you please comment on your overall satisfaction with your MH...
