HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Though Tiffin never set out to be one of the nation’s largest Class A manufacturers, the company’s success has come from remaining true to itself.
Luxury meets craftsmanship in every detail of Tiffin’s Class A models, which bring new ways to conquer the road.
As Tiffin’s first Class A model, the Open Road Allegro is the RV of choice for first-time owners, to discover new sights, places, and levels of comfort.
It features luxurious design, innovative technologies, quality construction, and a powerful Ford 7.3 liter V8 engine, providing RVers with everything they could want from a motorhome whilst remaining affordable.
Thoughtful amenities, entertainment options, and opulence abound throughout the Open Road Allegro, as well as a number of energy- and water-saving innovations that ensure life on the road is just like home.
“Our Open Road Allegro is a very popular gas motorhome, if not the most popular in North America. It’s right there at the top, and really has the luxury interior and feel of a diesel pusher,” shares Leigh.
Tiffin’s most popular diesel pusher, meanwhile, is the Allegro Bus. With spacious ceilings and floor plans, the extra room of the Allegro Bus makes it a bestseller among owners who live life on the road.
It is one of Tiffin’s most advanced coaches ever, with comfort and elegance blending seamlessly with breakthrough technology to take travels to the next level.
50 YEARS OF TIFFIN MOTORHOMES
2022 was an exciting year for Tiffin as the company commemorated its 50th anniversary, a pinnacle of success not always achieved in today’s business world.
“We started in September 1972, so we have been celebrating our 50th year in operation. Not many companies make it to 50 years, but we’ve been really fortunate and we’re now looking towards the next 50!” Bob smiles.
“I couldn’t be any more enthusiastic about Tiffin and celebrating the last 50 years, but also excited about what’s ahead of us,” echoes Leigh.
To kick off the year-long celebrations, the Tiffin Allegro Club, the official membership organization of Tiffin owners, gathered for a 50th anniversary rally at the Sweetwater Events Center in Rock Springs, Wyoming.
Joining the Tiffin Allegro Club can enhance the enjoyment of Tiffin ownership, connecting owners with fellow likeminded RVers. Members are eligible for a number of benefits, including participation in local chapters across the country, opportunities to attend Tiffin rallies, and access to discounted rates from vendors offering RV-related products and services.
“We are always looking to be a great corporate steward and improve the efficiency of our operations for all of our stakeholders”

Rallies are one of the Tiffin Allegro Club’s most popular activities, and in a week of fun and festivities, the 50th anniversary rally was the largest to date.
It brought together owners from the Class A, Class C, and fifth wheel divisions of the Tiffin family for seminars pertaining to each brand, as well as food vendors, a giant flea market, ice cream socials, door prizes, bingo, and nightly entertainment.
Two years of planning and organizing went into making this event a reality, which was attended by a staggering 625 coaches from 47 states and two Canadian provinces.
With Tiffin executives on hand, including Bob, it was a golden opportunity for owners to learn more about their coach, make new friends, and be part of an exciting week in the life of Tiffin.
“We had more than 600 Tiffin coaches gathered together for our landmark 50th anniversary rally in June in Rock Springs,” confirms Leigh.
“It was just a phenomenal experience, a really special occasion, and an opportunity to address a large group of our owners.
“We highlighted it again at our annual company picnic, where all Tiffin employees came together and had a big celebration and a great concert. As we move into the holiday season, we’ll continue to remind everybody of what a tremendous accomplishment 50 years is,” he continues.
The 50th anniversary is not only a source of immense pride for Tiffin’s employees, but something they can gain a lot of confidence and hope from going forwards.
Equally, it lets Leigh know that this group of people can get through just about anything, having survived all the trials and tribulations of the past half a century.
On the lessons learned in that time, Leigh cites a famous quote from renowned American author, Mark Twain, “good judgement is the result of experience, and experience is the result of bad judgement”.
The complex products that Tiffin builds are a sizable investment, but as a company that is experienced, well-established, and has been there and done it for 50 years, Tiffin is trusted by consumers to deliver.
“Consumers love the history of Tiffin, and knowing that we’re an expert at what we do. This company has a can-do mindset, and there’s always a solution,” says Leigh.
