Wow, thats a Beautiful Coach. Is that the Open Road? Been looking at those for a couple of months. If you don't mind and you can PM me,What did they give you on trade in? Does it have any suspension upgrade? I see it's the F53 chassis like the Fr3.

Fr3 was built not for the customer ... It was built with the factory in mind... To ensure there would always be work... I am convinced

It took some time and a whole lot of patience to get the problems worked out of our 2015 FR3 30DS, but the price point was what we could afford at the time and it works perfectly for us now. Your new coach looks fabulous and I hope it suits your needs. Our 19yr old disabled manchild would destroy that interior. 🤣 We will move up when we are ready, but not out of disappointment. Sorry it didn’t work out for you. Happy trails!
Did someone say Enrique Palazzo? Naked Gun reference, every time I see one, “hey, it’s Enrique Palazzo!”

We have the 29 DS and have spent so much money on upgrades. Still more to go. I love your Tiffin. Bath and a half is a dream of mine. We can't go over 30 feet. Our driveway and roads are to curvy. Enjoy

We have a 2016 FR3 30DS and are currently looking at a 2019 Tiffin Allegro 32SA. How would you compare the ride, handling and cabin noise of your new Tiffin to the FR3 especially with the longer wheelbase and 22 1/2 wheels ? Thanks Jim

That’s a beautiful motorhome. Good luck with it! I tried desparately to convince my wife to buy a Tiffin Allegro Breeze 28BR when they still made it but couldn’t convince her.

Brother just bought a 2013 Allegro Breeze 28br. Fantastic machine. The quality is there for sure. Too bad you couldn't pull it off.

We're one week into owning our Tiffin. You certainly get what you pay for. I am impressed each time I walk into it. For those that don't want to pay for it, I couldn't, so we found a 2011 that had little evidence of use. If you sacrifice a couple of model years, you can spend the same money.

Brother bought a 2013 Tiffin, 28 foot. Loves it. It's so well thought out and everything works great.

We nearly bought a tiffin in 2016. The only thing that stopped us was the price! We own a 2016 (bought fall of 2015) 25 ft MBS with full slide! We’ve had it crioss country twice (coast to coast)! We’ve had few problems and all were warranty! Our local dealer Norms RV Poway, CA has been great with all work including warranty work until now! We have a recall from FR For serious light issues that could result in a major fire of the “house” and then the Sprinter! We can’t even get a call back after 5 calls and 4 texts with a copy of the recall attached! A tiffin is looking better and better every moment!

Bob[/QUOTE ]Yes and the engine was so well designed it didn't need DEF.

Allegro is the way to go...
Never owned one myself, but if I were in the market I’d look very close at Allegro. My Dad had several and wouldn’t buy anything else! Great job and man is that beautiful! Congratulations!

Luannr, looks like a 36LA! We had ours for 4 years & loved it. 2 bathrooms, fireplace, Splendide W/D, we thought it was the best floor plan out there with 2 slides
You'll enjoy it. Tiffin is hard to beat

We recently traded our 2015 FR3 30DS for a 2019 Georgetown 378XL. Our FR3 was a great coach and we enjoyed our travel in it. Easy to maneuver, park, back in, etc. We did a few mods to make it more homey. The storage was awesome. And plenty of power to tow our toad. We love the Georgetown even more. FR quality is great compared to other manufacturers. Our friends bought a new Thor Hurricane, and its in the shop all the time. They missed several trips due to major issues like the slide malfunction, a pinched coolant line (pinched in the assembly of the coach to the frame) and leaking radiator fluid (a gallon a day). Electrical issues, and on and on. Glad we stayed with FR!!!!

The wife and I are looking to get a tiffin but curious on how bad of a bath we are going to take on our coach. Did you all sell your coaches and then bank the money or did you trade in? We currently have a 2016 fr3 32ds
