Tiffin Motorhome Company Tour

On our second day in Red Bay, we took a tour of the Tiffin Motorhome Company.  Our motorhome is a Phaeton made by Tiffin, so we were excited to take a tour of the plant.

.

Our tour started in the Welcome Center, where we saw a video of the history of the company and met Red our tour guide. BobTiffin founded Tiffin Motorhomes in 1972, and since then the company has manufactured and sold over 50,000 motorhomes.  Tiffin has earned its reputation for having the best products and customer service in the industry.  Since day one, Tiffin has been a family business.  The company is filled with employees who have made working at Tiffin Motorhomes a family tradition.  It's a kind of loyalty that just isn't  seen very often these days.  Tiffin's motto is " Roughing it smoothly!"

This is Red, who headed up our tour. Both Bob and I were surprised at the access we had in the plant. Red walked us along the assembly line and we could even talk to the workers.  Each day Tiffin makes about 7 motorhomes.  At their peak they manufactured 12 a day and when times were hard the last few years they produced as few as 3 motorhomes.

Here are some pictures of what we saw.

This is one of the designers of the new Breeze motorhome.  He was down on the assembly line checking every detail.

Here is Bob by a new Phaeton.  He could have driven this away for a mere $250,000 or so.  We left with out it and were happy to return to our 2004 Phaeton.

It was a great tour and made us glad we had purchased a Tiffin.  Two days of repairs down and we are on our way. Quicker than we had thought.  Wonderful experience in Red Bay, Alabama.
