Alignment
The Phaeton motor home you have purchased has been aligned at the factory prior to shipment to you.
During the first 10,000 miles of operation of your Phaeton, the chassis will have a tendency to “settle” and
readjust itself in response to the loading of your vehicle. Although it normally is not necessary to realign the
Phaeton before the first 10,000 miles of use; it is, nonetheless, recommended that you have the Phaeton
alignment checked after the first loading of the vehicle.
However, if you feel that you have noted some discrepancy or anomaly in steering operation, please contact
your chassis manufacturer or call Tiffin Customer Service at (256) 356-0261 to address your concerns. Tiffin
Motorhomes is always ready to assist you with the unique aspects of your specific Phaeton and has qualified
experts readily available to provide you this assistance.
