    It's got three Days of Quality Control Inspections, and then it's off to the Paint booth for about nine coats of color & clearcoat...

    How'd those pictures go sideways on me?

    EDIT: I got them "right side up"...

    It's supposed to be equipped with the automatic leveling system...
    It must need some calibration!

    Tiffin is an independent family-owned Company. They build what the customer orders.
    When we re-prioritized our space needs: The Missus fell in love with their designs.

    And then we fell in love with their quality!

    Just be sure they mount the wheels to the sides of the van since they are obviously building it sideways. Lol

    It's going to be equipped with the automatic leveling jacks...
    I guess that they could stand to get a few more calibrations attempts put to them!

    Default Congrats on your new custom RV

    Quality is a big deal especially when it comes to such an expensive investment. We had to put ours in the shop (dealership) due to some warranty issues, one being a stress crack by a slide out. So I’m sure it will get fixed ok but we sure didn’t think we would be dealing with such an issue when we bought it ..! We love the RV lifestyle and we have always met some fun people when we’re out camping especially when Spyders are involved.! Congrats to you and your wife. Enjoy ..!!

    Sorry to hear about the Stress crack problem...
    Our Thor Outlaw 9the Toyhauler...) ended up having a punchlist of 27 items that needed repairs...
    (I figured out that it's called a "punchlist"; because that's what you want to do to the mouth of the salesman that talked you into it in the first place! )
    We ended up getting rid of it with at least two ongoing issues...
