TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO BUS® Chapter 9 EXTERIOR FEATURES
9-2
Towing Hitch
On the rear of the Allegro Bus can be found a Class 3, 15,000-pound towing hitch
(Figure 9-1) capable of handling a tongue weight of 1,500 pounds. This hitch is
installed for towing a passenger car to be used when the motor home is parked.
The wire connector installed with this hitch is a standard, seven-pin connector. For
more information on the connector, please see Chapter 7 of this Owner’s Manual.
Exterior Sides
The sides of your Allegro Bus (Figure 9-2) are constructed of gel-coated
fiberglass. To enhance this feature, the end caps are also gel-coated
fiberglass. To clean these fiberglass surfaces, only use warm water and a
mild cleanser; gently wash with soft cloths. Use of stiff bristle brushes or
other harsh abrasives may cause scratches in the fiberglass surfaces.
Please note: Tiffin Motorhomes is NOT responsible for the
weathering/oxidation of gel-coated surfaces.
Lighted storage compartments are located on the exterior sides of your
Allegro Bus. These external compartments provide ample, additional
space for your belongings while you are traveling. When stowing
materials in these storage compartments, try to “balance” the resultant
weight load from front to rear and from side to side—this will keep the
center of gravity of the motor home essentially unchanged and should
not adversely affect the handling characteristics of the motor home when
it is in motion.
Security Lights
On the Allegro Bus, exterior security lights (Figure 9-3) are standard features. This light is
installed on the passenger side of the coach to help light that side of the Allegro Bus for
added protection. This light can serve as a “porch light” when the motor home is parked
and the awning is deployed so that various activities (e.g., sitting outside, grilling,
visiting) at dusk and later can be enjoyed by the motor-home owners and their guests.
Roof & Ladder
The Allegro Bus is manufactured with a fiberglass roof. Proper care and routine
maintenance of your roof will assure many years of trouble-free performance. Please see
Chapter 14 for details on recommended cleaning instructions. On the Allegro Bus, a roof
ladder [load limit: 200 pounds] (Figure 9-4) may also be included as an additional feature.
