  • In this video, I travel to Salinas, California to inspect a 2018 Tiffin Allegro Bus for Doug Sewell with Sewell Motorcoach in Harrodsburg, KY. He found a private seller and wanted to make certain the RV was as represented and capable to travel back to Kentucky. So with a small lull and stoppage in work, I was on a plane first thing in the morning. So join me as I show a few more good tips when purchasing a unit and what I liked and did not like about this 2018 Allegro Bus.
    Thanks for watching!

    Ooooooo, if you tried to bring your whole tool bag on the plane, they would have you bent over, pants down, and inspecting you with flashlight! 😱😝🤪🤣😁👍👍🇺🇲

    We love our 2015 Tiffin Allegro Bus 37AP but would definitely consider a 40 AP for the additional rear closet room in the future. We can confirm everything that James reflected about how this drives. Most RV folks don't talk fuel mileage because it is usually abysmal but not on our bus. When I purchased it 3 yrs ago with 15K on it , the computer read that the fuel average was 11.2 mpg. I switched to all synthetic fluids and use a fuel additive to increase lubricity and it now reads 11.7 mpg with 35K miles. In a bus that weighs close to 38,000 lbs, this is incredible. The Cummins L9 paired with the Allison 3000 MH is a dream driveline. Enjoy.

    Now this Tiffin is really great and if I were in the US now I’d be on my way to view this. Subject to Andrew’s concerns being repaired I’d be keen to go the whole nine yards.
    I will contact you Doug before I fly over to check your inventory and hopefully make an appointment.
    See you soon Doug and Andrew I can’t wait 😉💫

    Another Doug Sewell Jewel! Beautiful Tiffin indeed! Thanks for the pre-trip inspection, the trip itself and the final roof and post-detail interior tour. This would be a dandy for someone looking to get into a higher-end production coach. Appreciate your efforts every time James!

    Another great review James. Thank you for the education on the seamless slides. Wish they kept them. What years did TIffin use them I assume 18-22? Also appreciate so much the review of the slides in while traveling. It is an issue when on long journeys to a snow bird destination. Wal Marts, Cracker Barrels, and truck stops is what we use along with rest areas. Thanks again from another long time subscriber. Very nice coach.

    • @deanh7190

      I have a 2015 with them. Seamless Slides® is not a Tiffin product and is probably why Thor did away with procuring them. Thor did upgrade all the slides to hydraulic but wish they would bring back the seamless slides.

    We full time in a 1997 no slide Foretravel...definitly not fancy but it has light maple full wood cabinets and for its age is a very reliable and well made coach. Perhaps it is me but the interiors of Tiffens are dark (due to wood stain) and look like it might have been designed by Cracker Barrel....Late model Tiffens look very dated with lots of "decorative" touches that seem out of place in a modern vehicle. I guess each to it's own (Newell is the other extreme).
