Tiffin rally: Tiffin models

At the Tiffin rally they had a bunch of new and used Tiffin models to tour and buy (of course). We enjoyed exploring them, though as usual came to the conclusion that other than newer years of our current model, there is no other RV we’d rather have.

But if we were to eventually go back to a sticks-and-bricks (i.e. a house), we might be interested in a class C like the Wayfarer for a vacation RV. Or maybe even a class B van for weekend trips.

Here’s the review Jenn wrote on Campground Reviews:

Great place for attending a rally

We’ve been to several rallies this year, and this was by far the best location. Full hookups with 50A electrical at every site?! Insanely wonderful. The sites (or stalls, really) are a bit close together but no more than any other rally-style parking we’ve seen. The whole place is graveled, which is nice, but they really need to grade it. Parts of the road were so thick that rigs were scraping their mudflaps on the way out, and other parts were so thin it went down to the dirt. But still. Full hookups at a rally! Amazing! There was a nice big area for unhooking the tow vehicle when we arrived. All the event center buildings and common areas were nicely maintained and convenient to get to. The dog park looked pretty awesome, too. We camped at Sweetwater Events Complex – RV Park in a Motorhome.

One of the benefits of attending the rally was Tiffin techs stopping by to fix some minor issues. In our case, they helped with a drifting mirror, and gave advice on a window latch and ceiling fan:

We also got our coach cleaned; here’s the dirty mirror beforehand:

Of course, it rained a few days later, and it was no longer clean. Money well spent!
