TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –PHAETON® Chapter 5 CABINETS & FURNITURE
All drawers are equipped with metal slides to provide additional load-bearing strength for the drawers and to
permit effortless opening and closing of those drawers, even when they are fully loaded. These metal guides have a
slight “locking” action, when closed. To open those drawers, slightly lift up on the drawer handle and then pull the
drawer open. To close, push the drawer closed until it “clicks” back into place (i.e., the locking action is engaged). As
this cabinetry is typically of furniture-grade quality, any commercial furniture polish or cleaner can be used. Do not try to
soak these wooden surfaces with any water or any other liquid; be sure to wipe up spills or residues of any fluids that
contact these surfaces to preclude any staining or discoloration of the cabinet surfaces.
Furniture
Kitchen, Dining, & Living Room Areas
On all the various floor plans of the Phaeton, a built-in dinette booth (Figure 5-3)
is standard; a dinette computer workstation or U-shaped dinette is optional. This
dinette provides additional storage under the seat area of the booth, in addition
to providing additional sleeping facilities. The sleeping area is realized by
lowering the dinette-table top and rearranging the seating cushions. Specific
directions for converting the booth dinette into a bed are as follows:
1. Rotate the lever underneath the
table—this allows you to push the
table into the sleeping position.
2. Detach the back cushion of each dinette seat.
3. Place the back cushion pieces over the table top to form the bed
(Figure 5-4).
4. To return to the dinette position, turn the lever back and pull the table
up to the proper level.
5. Reattach cushions to back of dinette seats.
The living room contains a standard sofa (Figure 5-5) which converts into a bed,
as required. It may be one of two styles—either a jack knife bed or an optional air
coil hide-a-bed sofa sleeper. The optional air coil hide-abed sofa sleeper includes
an air pump. It operates by depressing the black latch and unfolding the bed.
The sofa is custom coordinated with the décor of the motor home. To convert the
sofa into a bed, follow these directions:
1. Remove the accent pillows.
2. Under a seat cushion locate the “black tab” and slide the tab to the left
or the right and then pull upwards on the seat portion of the sofa—this
will cause the sofa seat to open, extend, and convert into a bed.
