There isn’t enough storage, so we’ve improvised by placing a wire stand to store more items. It sucks up quite a lot of energy when you’re boondocking, for instance.Īnd although the bathroom is roomy, there’s actually a lot of wasted space.
#TIFFIN ALLEGRO OPEN ROAD 36LA PRO#
The large, residential-size fridge is both a pro and a con. It is huge and convenient, but sucks up a lot of battery power. One of the pros can be a con in a boondocking situation (camping without electrical, water and sewer hookups): the residential fridge. It’s difficult to find fault with our rig, but there are a few quirks. Tiffin Allegro: The Cons Wasted Space & Energy You can read about my husband’s first time driving the coach here. But our Allegro was built on a longer chassis with a foil cushion, making for a pretty smooth drive. Typically, diesel coaches are more powerful than gas coaches, which can make for smoother driving. It’s a dream come true!Īnd the ceiling fan in the bedroom actually does lower the temperature - it wasn’t just a “decorative” fan.
Imagine sipping hot coffee by the fire on a chilly morning while gazing at a misty meadow. That’s right, we even have a fireplace, which comes in handy on chilly days. There are two features that I didn’t really care about in the beginning but have come to love: the fireplace and bedroom fan. We like the fact that the layout gives us plenty of room to move around. In fact, we didn’t even learn about the storage drawers under the dinette seats until after we’d bought the coach - a happy surprise! This is a floor plan from this year’s model. The layout allows us to move around comfortably and there’s plenty of storage. The kitchen faces the door, which makes me feel safer because I can see outside while I’m cooking. While we liked it, the minute we walked into the Tiffin, everything felt sturdier - solid cupboards, comfortable sofa and supportive dinette booth seats. We had been spending time in an RV with a similar floor plan from a different brand. The quality is what sold us on our purchase.
The level of quality in the Tiffin Allegro really stood out and ultimately sold us on this model over cheaper RVs. I can back that up as we’ve put about 20,000 miles on ours and it’s still holding up well. Tiffin has a reputation for making high-quality RVs. It helps that we negotiated the price down, too. Tiffin is a great company and both the length and features that came with our coach are perfect for our travel style. While it was a bit more money than we budgeted for, we feel like it was worth the investment. It’s got a big windshield, two slide outs and it comes in at 34 feet (which is a good size for camping at most state and national parks)!

(By the way, if you’re in the market for an RV, be sure to go into as many as you can or even rent an RV or two so that you can get a feel for different floor plans. But after traveling in it for over a year and a half, we still feel like we made a really good decision - and that the extra money really was worth it.
When we bought our first RV, I nearly broke out in a full-body sweat because we had fallen in love with a model that was over our budget. Then the panic sets in because it’s really happening. Shopping for an RV is fun - until you make a decision to actually buy one.
