Construction Notes
Your Phaeton manufactured by Tiffin Motorhomes is constructed of the finest materials available by well
experienced craftsmen at the Tiffin Motorhomes manufacturing facilities in Red Bay, AL. Every care and
concern have been taken throughout the total manufacturing process to assure you of the finest motor home
available in the marketplace today. To give you a better appreciation of the features of the Phaeton motor
home, some of its construction features are now presented.
The Phaeton is built on either a Freightliner or Spartan chassis (Figure 12-1) powered by a Cummins diesel
engine. The floor decking is constructed of ½” OSB board to provide
desired rigidity and firmness in the floor of the motor home. The floor is
insulated with block foam to provide both thermal insulation and sound
deadening to keep road-surface noises from unduly entering the motor
home. The motor-home roof is also insulated with block foam to provide
an adequate barrier to heat loss or gain through the roof.
In the Phaeton, each sidewall is manufactured to provide essential strength and durability and is also insulated
to assure the comfort of the enclosed spaces. Sidewalls are constructed of aluminum or steel framing, insulated
with 1½”-thick block foam insulation. Framing and insulation are
laminated between interior décor board and gel coat fiberglass on the
exterior to provide superior strength and rigidity. The insulation is
chosen to both provide a sound-deadening barrier from outside noises
and to provide more effective thermal control of the enclosed cabin in
the motor home.
Typical Floor Plan
Although there are many variations of the floor plans for the Phaeton,
depending on the desires and requirements of the individual Phaeton
owner; a “typical” floor plan is presented to show the relative
components of the Phaeton.
