Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The wet bay floor holding the fresh water, gray water, and black water tanks has rotted underneath the motorcoach due to the poor design/engineering by Tiffin motor homes, as well as very poor quality materials used. There is very little structural support for the tanks underneath the vehicle. All of the tanks and wet bay area have to be removed in order to evaluate the full extent of the rotting and mold in this area. The interior floor of the motor home has also begun to drop likely due to this rotting. …”
NHTSA complaint #10451009, filed 2012-03, 13,500 miles“We have found cracks and/or fractures on the roof of our 2008 Tiffin Phaeton qsh motor home. These cracks are mostly along the curved edge of the fiberglass roof. This defect seems to be caused by poor quality materials and poor design by Tiffin motor homes leading to cracks due to flexing of the vehicle structural frame during travel. This vehicle defect has been widely reported to Tiffin by many owners of their products beginning in 2007 (and perhaps before) through 2011 models based on information from dealers and other motor home owners. …”
NHTSA complaint #10451138, filed 2012-03“During annual maintenance of subject vehicle it was noted that the passenger side rear (behind rear axle) appeared to be sagging. Upon further inspection it was found that a welded bracket that holds the body to the chassis had broken the weld and/or the bracket steel had failed which left the body in the affected area unattached to the chassis. Additional failure in this area could cause the area to fall lower and drop on the rear wheels causing loss of control of the vehicle.”
