CABINETS & FURNITURE
Cabinets
Your Phaeton contains cabinetry installed throughout the entire motor
home from the driver’s area through the kitchen/dining areas, and back
into the bedroom. The cabinetry has been designed and built to provide
ample storage space, to be easily accessible, and to be conveniently
located to support the areas of concern.
Construction of these cabinets incorporates various hardwoods, raised
panels, cabinet doors, and supports. Door pulls, handles, and knobs are
installed in a style complementing the particular décor of each Phaeton
so that an aesthetically-pleasing, as well as fully functional, storage
capacity is realized.
For the many floor plans available in the Phaeton product line, cabinet design (Figure 5-1) has been optimized to
provide maximal storage for each and every floor plan available. Accordingly, the Phaeton can readily accommodate
the routine materials, supplies, and customer-specific items desired for any travel requirements. Further, these cabinets
are designed to contain stored supplies quite securely during travel to minimize or eliminate the possibility of shifting or
spilling of cabinet contents during travel. Yet, when the motor home is parked, all stored items are readily available in
the cabinets for the convenience of the users.
As the storage requirements will vary somewhat from one floor plan to another, general observations can be made
about the Tiffin-supplied cabinetry which may or may not be applicable for your specific Phaeton configuration.
Cabinets are provided in the kitchen/dining area to accommodate the routine cooking utensils and groceries normally
desired for travel. Storage space within these cabinets has been so designed to accommodate the typical sizes and
configurations of food supplies (e.g., cereal boxes, condiments, canned goods, bottled liquids) normally taken on
travel trips.
Based on Tiffin Motorhomes’ extensive experience with travel requirements of the seasoned motor-home users and
from Tiffin Motorhomes’ own research and development in cabinet-design requirements, the resultant cabinets offer
the greatest storage capacity possible. In the bathroom and bedroom, additional cabinets are available for storage of
sundries and toiletries specific to these areas.
In the kitchen, a color-coordinated countertop is provided on top of the
floor-mounted cabinets. To maintain the appearance of the countertop,
clean with a damp cloth. If spotting occurs, clean the countertop with a
damp cloth and a mild liquid soap. Should some dried-on residue still
persist, let a damp cloth moistened with the liquid cleaner stand directly
on top of that residue for 15-30 minutes to loosen the residue, then
clean that spot accordingly. Please note that strong chemicals, solvents,
and cleaners (e.g., oven cleaner) may damage the surface; so do not
use any products not specifically designed for countertop cleaning.
The countertop (Figure 5-2) may be physically damaged, too, if proper
care is not taken. Do not cut anything (e.g., vegetables, fruits) directly
on the countertop; rather, use a cutting board on top of the countertop
to provide necessary protection to the countertop. Excessive heat may
also damage the countertop; therefore, any pots or pans taken directly
from the range or oven should not be placed directly on the countertop;
rather, use trivets or some other form of fireproof heat insulators to hold very hot pots or pans on the countertop.
