Here we are today in Tampa, FL at the 2019 SuperShow.
This is one of the biggest RV shows there are in the whole entire country.
We're here with Lazydays RV right now and they are
one of the top-selling dealers of Tiffin Motorhomes.
My name is Tom Webber. I am with Tiffin Motorhomes
and I'm going to tell you a little bit about our new 2019 Allegro Bus.
This year we made many many changes on our bus.
One of them is our front cap.
We have changed the entire look of the front cab
New headlight designs, special made for Tiffin Motorhomes.
New mirrors, larger windshield
The rear cap is all brand-new that you'll see here in a little while too.
And the reason that we did these is because we did a lot of changes to our chassis.
Number one what we did is we used a raised-rail chassis
extended the height of that rail an additional five inches
so by doing that, we have created all these outside compartment doors
five inches taller than they ever were before.
Now the belt rail, which is above the actual outside compartment doors,
is the same heighth that goes all the way around the entire motorhome
whether it be on the driver side or passengar side
so every exterior compartment door now is the same height.
Therefore, giving you a lot of additional underneath storage.
A number of other things that we've done,
we have the 315 sized tires, all Michelin tires on our products.
Giving you the better ride and better handling with the
larger sized tires.
Plus, the larger load capacity.
Okay, here at the door on the Allegro Bus.
We're using an entrance door called PTL.
That is the name of the company that manufactures
the door for us, we used to manufacture our own doors, however, now
this is a really top quality door that we've gone to,
and I think that you'll find it to be one of the best in the industry.
PTL, the way I remember that, is "praise the lord."
Now, the door that we have has a double latch on it
If I push this up on the first latch,
that means that I can close the door easily
it will open just as easy.
The second notch is for when you're traveling.
So, it will give you a really good tight seal all the way around the entire door.
When you're in the campground,
if you close the door easy, it opens easy.
One finger.
Close the door, open it easy.
The reason we point that out is that when you're in
and out of the campground and in and out of the door
you don't wanna be fighting with that door all the time.
However, it will keep all the rain out
in the first closure, but it will not keep the air noise out
if you're going down the road.
So before you leave, you want to actually
slam the door harder
You're not gonna open it with one finger
it's gonna take the whole handle to open it
but once it is in that second notch then you're guaranteed of a really nice tight seal
no water coming in as you're driving down the highway
No air noise as you're going down the highway either,
which is very nice and relaxing.
I want to mention to you that we have this same type closures
now on all of our exterior compartment doors.
They are two position locked.
If you're ever going down the highway and you feel that you're going
through a rainstorm and some water is getting into your basement area,
go back and push on that door or slam it harder
and make sure it's in the second closure.
Once it's in the second closure, you get the same tight feel
as you will on the entrance door
not allowing any water to penetrate into your basement area.
Now we're inside the new Allegra bus for 2019
those of you that have seen this color before
have only seen it in our bathroom area.
That time we called it a white chocolate.
We've had a number of people now
that have requested this throughout the whole entire motorhome
so, we decided we would give it a try and now it is an option.
With a lemon color of wood.
The lemon color is the wood, not the fabrics and all, it's all the cabinetry.
And that's what we're calling this now.
The lemon color.
It is really quite attractive and everyone that has seen it so far
thinks it is just one of the best.
In the motorhome now we are using theater seating
We actually have electric theater seats now.
For everybody to become very comfortable,
it even goes down far enough that I guarantee you
I could take a nap in there. In fact, I could do
one right now.
So, I know it's very comfortable to do that.
The other thing that we need to talk about is
the new floor, we still use a porcelain floor
but the color and shine is new this year,
and it is absolutely gorgeous.
We also did the new ceiling package,
so that we have the air conditioning duct port running all the way from
front to rear, and then our return air
running front to rear also.
Lot of speakers in here,
lot of air conditioning, lots of lights
and we'll tell you more about that at a later time.
But everything in here is to the new lemon color, and I think
that you'll find it to be very attractive.
The next thing I do want to tell you about is our
dash. We have a digital dash now.
And there are so many things that you can do with that.
We have different colors that you can put on there
for the needle color, you can change the actual gauges if you want,
you can lower and raise it throughout that screen,
so that when you are sitting behind that steering wheel
in that opening at the top, you can put those gauges perfectly in the middle of that,
so that your viewing area is 100% of the entire gauge.
You can change all different things on there, in fact, there's
like seventy different settings that you can do
and we have 33 pages of instructions on how to operate
this digital dash, but you'll find it very easy to operate
even someone my age can operate it,
once you start playing with the joystick and all.
It's kind of fun and you can put different backgrounds in
and all, it's very informative.
So now we're going to move to the middle of the coach
and we're going to talk about our spider system.
This is something new that we've been using but we
have added many features to this spider system,
and we're not done yet, there's many features that can be added
at a later time.
Here is our spider system, this is our main control.
It's in the hallway here near the half-bath.
But what we want you to see is that all the different things
that just this one screen can do for you.
So what we're doing is that we have a home button here
and with the home button, we are showing all the different
lighting that we have, you've got your operations for your galley
shade that you can put that down, plus there's another button
near the sink that you can put your galley shade down,
we have the aqua hot, and you can turn that on electric
or on the diesel, we have our water pump
we have all the different fresh water, grey water, black and diesel
and all those now are shown in one percent grades, so
you can see that line right now is at 26%,
then, every other one will show in a one percent increment.
It also shows you what the room temperatures are.
The rear of the motorhome right now is at 75 degrees.
The middle of the motorhome is at 71.
The front is at 71, the outside storage compartment
in the bays, are at 60 degrees.
We also have our floor heat on here, electric floor heating
two different sections.
It's made by Gold Industry, it is all done with
wiring, they heat our floor, water in our floors.
We go along over here and then we have our charger
that tells how the batteries are doing for both the chassis and the house battery,
our inverter we can control everything from here,
and our AGS, which is automatic generator start,
everything can be controlled there.
Now the next button at the bottom is for lighting.
We actually have all our lights throughout the whole entire
motorhome on this one panel.
We can control every one of them from here
The nice part is if you want to dim any lights
anytime you see a light button that has the
arrows up and down, we can dim any of those.
We can turn our porch awnings on, our outside, our door,
our underneath the coach, the slidebox, the road lights,
everything is controlled right from here.
If you should happen to want ceiling fans on,
we can turn those on from here.
We can control all the lights in all the baths,
but let's say that we all of a sudden want to go to bed
and we want to turn the lights out but we don't want to step
up there and press every one of those buttons,
we have a light master, hit the one button
all the lights go out.
Another nice feature that this has is if you were coming in the door,
and you wanted all the lights to turn on and they were all
off, you could turn all the lights on from the entrance door
with the Light Master, holding the one button
for three seconds, no matter if there was only two
lights on when you left, when you come back
home and you want them all on, hold that on button
for three seconds, it will turn all the lights on.
Next we're going to batteries, it's going to show us
if we're hooked up to 50 amp, 30 amp, 20 amp, whatever it is
what it's going through, the transfer switch, breaker box,
charging, through the inverter, and what the house
and the chassis batteries are.
We also have energy management system that you can enable
our energy management system is such now that
you can hook up to a 20 amp service,
turn your air conditioner on,
and if there's a variation of 10 degrees between
air conditioner set temperature and the front of the motorhome,
it will come on and it'll lower it to that set temperature
let's use 77 as an example.
Once that front of the motorhome reaches 77,
it then will say the second air conditioner
and the third air conditioner, what's the variance between
the set temperature and the actual temperature inside,
whichever one is the greater,
it will then turn that air conditioner on
having that get down to 77 degrees, shut that off,
and then it'll go back and look at the rear
and the front, and see what the variance is there
the greater variance, it'll use that.
So you can cool the whole entire motorhome now
45 foot, with 20 amp service, just with a regular old Home Depot extension cord.
The orange ones.
Next we have our temperature settings, air conditioning,
heat pump, furnace, now the furnace
in the bus is always Aqua Hot, we're using a 450 Aqua Hot,
so that any time that you're driving down the road,
it is still heating all the hot water as it passes through the engine compartment,
and the engine itself.
Floor heat you can control that, front and rear
If you have a heat pump on, and it gets below 40 degrees,
the heat pump is not going to work.
But it has a memory and a computer that says
hey, the heat pump's not keeping up to the temperature we want to keep the motorhome at,
so it will then go to the furnace or the Aqua Hot
turning that on, and keeping the motorhome nice and warm for you.
Next we have our slide outs.
The nice part about this is that it's really foolproof
in order to operate the slides, we have to have the ignition
on, which it is now, the park brake on,
we got a green light there, but then the bed lift,
the bed actually has to be retracted with the head of it
inclined, so that we can bring the slideouts in and then
everything will be operational. It'll let you know
what you have to do before bringing slideouts in
or extending them in the rear. The slideouts in the front
are in the passenger seat, so you can easily see that everything is clear
as you're extending or retracting those.
Next is all our shades.
We can operate all our shades at one time,
or we can operate every one of them individually
And we also have other switches for the shades that are near the
window or at the window, closest to that shade.
So we can do cockpit bay shades, bay masters,
main bay shades, night shades, night masters,
night shades, main night shades.
Next we go to settings, we can actually operate all of our fans
throughout the entire motorhome lifting the lid,
turning the fans on, and what speed we want it.
We can set it at high, low or off,
we can lift the TVs, we can lift the bed up,
here to raise it the head, we can line up all of our bay doors
right from here, we can lock our entry door.
Everything is done here.
The last thing is for different types of temperatures,
we can either put it on Fahrenheit or Celsius,
screen brightness, the different screen settings, a lot of differences on diagnostics,
those are all for mechanics and all,
this shows it's a bus 450PP, and you can set the
time to whatever you wish it to be.
Exterior temperature right now is 59 degrees where we are in Tampa at this time.
Okay, moving on, to the rear of the bus.
In the bedroom area here, we do have the big king sized bed
and this is one of the beds that inclines, and
I'm not sure on this, but, let me look at something,
this is something you really need to see that's really cool.
This is an emergency escape window, and ladder.
It is something brand new for 2019.
In Allegro bus, it has a handle just like you would have on the outside of your
your coach, on your compartment doors
this one has not been opened yet.
Here it goes.
And there's a coach right next to it, otherwise it would fold all the way down.
You can re-close it, there is nothing to closing it
Not as young as I used to be.
But you can just pull it back up, there's nothing
that a mechanic or technician would have to do, to reseal that.
But that is a new emergency escape window on our Allegro bus.
And in our Allegro bus, you can see these panels pull off
of there when you need it.
Very easy to get to.
Television and fireplace here in the bedroom now,
five thousand BTUs, so it will keep you nice and warm.
As we go back into the bathroom area,
I think it's nice to show the double sinks,
want to show you our newest shower,
and what the interior of the shower and that looks like,
with our new grain that even says Tiffin on it.
And electric toilet and then a walk-in closet,
to the rear of the coach.
So I hope that you have enjoyed this short little tour
of our Allegro bus, if you'd like to know more
come out and see us, we can tell you a whole lot more,
we can spend hours on going through this.
We just have so many different options,
that are really good for you, the consumer
and makes it easy.
If you can push a button, now you can operate everything
in an Allegro bus.
So come see us at the SuperShow here,
in Tampa, at the Fairgrounds,
and we'll show you through all the new motorhomes.
Thank you!
