How To Operate a 2016 Tiffin Allegro Bus...and Most Luxury Diesel Motorhomes

While this is a nearly complete walk-thru on a 2016 Allegro Bus, many of the components and features will be common to most luxury diesel Class A motorhomes. I was asked to keep it short but there really are just too many features to be short.
The inside tour starts at 20:30
Sorry about the wind outside, I did my best.
Thanks for watching!!!

You've just made one of the best coach walk thru video. Every single coach made should had a CD like this explaining all of it's features. Great job! Thanks for posting.

[@AZExpert]

Wow, thank you!

[@KevinCoop1]

James, Very thorough and professional walkthrough!

[@terry3193]

Hi James. This was one of the most informative videos that I have ever seen. I learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time to put this together and share. Take care.

[@AZExpert]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bencovington9016]

Great job of familiarization of this beautiful coach. I especially liked the speed in which you presented the information. You kept it very interesting and stayed on track.

[@AZExpert]

Thank you very much!

[@georgehines2626]

GREAT VIDEO. Learned alot about my own Tiffin..

[@AZExpert]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@markmonroe7330]

Very detailed and much enjoyed. How many people that buys these things actually understand everything. There are a bunch of key details to understand.

[@AZExpert]

There are so many systems to understand

[@badgerpa9]

Excellent walk through of the coach. Thanks for the video and hope you stay safe and healthy.

[@AZExpert]

Probably the best walk through I’ve ever seen. Thank you for the excellent job

[@AZExpert]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bbartsch74]

Awesome walk thru, I am currently shopping for a luxury diesel and I learned a lot from this video that I have not heard anywhere else.

[@AZExpert]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LayloNewt]

Better then a sales pdi walk thru. Your the man. Great job

[@AZExpert]

I appreciate that!

[@AndrewJohnson149]

Fantastic video! Learned a lot. We are researching to buy a MH next year when I retire and live full time in it. So far Tiffin is our first choice and probably the 35cp. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@troykrout]

Best walk-through video I’ve ever seen you should make more of these .The RV industry should take note 👏

[@AZExpert]

I will take that into consideration! Thanks for the input!

[@terrybrennan4978]

Nice video. Great explanation of all the features. Thank you.

[@AZExpert]

Thanks for watching!

[@davidparker2417]

Fantastic video being a tech myself I find your videos very helpful. Not being familiar with motor homes. Helps a great deal.

[@danfoley3654]

Excellent video James!

[@lawrencebest9943]

Very informative I always learn something new watching your videos

[@AZExpert]

Awesome, Glad to hear

[@DLTJR1959]

Great video. After almost two years of ownership in our Wanderlodge I have mastered the switches finally. The operating systems are indeed intimidating. Surprised that Tiffin did not have a TPMS as standard on their bus. Thanks again.

[@AZExpert]

I still don't figure out all the switches

[@rtjautomotive]

Awesome tour.Thanks.

[@danmadden1080]

Great explanation- thanks James!

[@AZExpert]

Glad it was helpful!

[@drinkinslim]

This is first walk-through I've ever seen like this. Amazing. As a gas motorhome owner, I always wondered how the diesel pushers worked (air, etc).

[@AZExpert]

Hey Thanks! :)

You bet!

Great information! You make it look so easy. I know better though. I’ll be saving this video for future reference. I’ve already forgotten most of what you demonstrated.lol Thank you.😎

Well yes that was a walk-through the likes of walkthroughs we don't get very often thank you

[@AZExpert]

Thanks for watching!

This is SO helpful! I just bought a 40ap, and had so many questions that you addressed here. I’m sure I’ll be coming back to watch again and again. And now I want your direct help number 🙂

Very Interesting.

❤ James, the stove I have learned that they make something that is like a cookie tin lid placed over the burner that allows you to use aluminum pans. Who new.👍👍

[@AZExpert]

thats an interesting idea

[@deanh7190]

Good tip: it's called an 'induction adaptor plate'. Readily available.

Thanks for watching! :)

[@nyckhampson792]

James ...great advice regards the roof on any of these RV's. I find the "mess" of sealant applied around exterior AC units, fans, ariels, etc used on the roof by most if not all manufacturers ,just because its not seen , is unacceptable. I aint no defender of the rich ,I'm a poor guy trying to buy a good 4000hh tent ⛺ and kit for solo camping. However I dont like anyone rich or poor getting ripped off, and your educating me .

[@sondrahurst3075]

cj not sh.... awesome review and instruction.... lots of stuff i don't see of gassers!!

[@AZExpert]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lisawaterman2737]

Thank you. We learned a lot from this that we didn't learn when we picked up our Allegro. Do you have any other videos out on this particular year/ model that we could learn from?

[@AZExpert]

I have other Allegro from varying years

[@fmerkl]

Hell I've owned my MH for 7 years and still learning!! Great vid!!! PS Mines a Newmar Dutchstar ! Winterizing A washerdryer combo would be nice ! AZexpert

[@AZExpert]

I learn something on these everyday

[@fmerkl]

I've turned the water to them ! to even see if it works !

[@ronbrothersforyou]

Great walk thru have you done one on a 2011 American coach? I would love to see it.

[@AZExpert]

Ill keep it in mind

[@tonywyse8691]

Great video...always good as a refresher. What does the 'sweaty ice cream cone' symbol mean again?? HAHA

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Thank you so much! The tour was not too long, because the time went by quickly for me. Was it 99ºF in that motorhome? I have never driven anything that's 45 feet long!

[@AZExpert]

It was much hotter likely 115 or so. The A/C is too loud on camera.

[@michaelfasciani537]

James, if you were looking to spend around $200,000 on a Class A diesel pusher, based on your experience, which make model year would you be seeking out? A newer tiffin allegro bus or newmar high-end like this one you're walking through? OR a mid-2000s Monaco/holiday rambler, country coach, travel supreme/entegra? Or would you hold out for an older prevost bus conversion? Your intimate knowledge of these would go a long way to help understand what is best!

[@suburbazine]

8:53 if it was my coach I'd fix the connection on the surge protector. Lotta bare copper visible.

[@AZExpert]

It's fine

[@EsteeDarla]

where do you wash or can get these washed ?

[@josephrsigman9268]

Which is better for reliability gas or diesel engine?

[@stana2z]

Very well done. Angie from NIRC is a bit cuter though…

[@AZExpert]

I should definitely go get a facial.

[@hillbillyrv]

That is a VERY thorough walk thru video. 99 degrees inside. How hot was it really? I know they only go to 99....dude those ACs don't make that much noise on your video. Turn the ACs on.

[@AZExpert]

I suffer for my craft :D

[@hillbillyrv]

@@AZExpert Seriously, cut them on. we can suffer with a little noise. We don't want you keeling over.

[@Stubones999]

Wow, what was the middle part?? That's a land yacht...

[@AZExpert]

Its gigantic

[@Tom-fu6sf]

In fact in fact I'll bring my 05 Holiday rambler ambassador over if you do a walk through that thorough on it I'll save it till the day comes that I sell the coach and give that to the new owner because it's been a hard road to learn all those details on my own.

[@AZExpert]

I appreciate the vote of confidence but I'm not taking any new work right now I'm booked until 2045 lol

[@alowe338]

Solar?

[@kathleendoyle5545]

How much does one of these run....

[@AZExpert]

I don't sell these so best to call the dealership, or google can be a great resource for sales prices

[@whammond511]

Thor owns Airstream and has for many decades. Do you see Thor’s acquisition of Tiffin as Positive, Negative or Benign? They appear to be much more complex than my Airstream (which is pre-Aqua-therm{?} heat). While it seems like a nice feature it also seems like it could easily be very, very expensive to repair. I guess I would want a Tiffin if I were going to be Full-Timing it. Otherwise I’ll stick with AS.

[@AZExpert]

I don't think hyper consolidation of any industry is good, and I am very concerned without Bob holding everyone accountable, Tiffin will slide into mediocrity

[@postersm7141]

38:14 yo your toilet spit up on you like a baby lol

[@boun_viaggio_usa9989]

46 minutes, good god man, how much time do you think we have!

Hopefully at least 46 mins! :) Thanks for watching ! (Or trying to)

[@richardford1316]

@@AZExpert Those 46 minutes were freakin awesome. Thank you.

[@ImpalamansGarage]

I wish my compartment doors were side opening. Bottom to top opening with gas shocks was a stupid idea.

[@AZExpert]

I agree

[@timothyberlinski2299]

When did thor buy tiffin?

[@AZExpert]

I did not buy a Tiffin, still have the Beaver

[@timothyberlinski2299]

@AZExpert no I asked when did thor buy out tiffin

[@moegeek]

Sweaty ice cream cone?!? Oh, man. Mind permanently polluted. I'll see that every single time, now...

[@AZExpert]

That's funny!!

[@divadyrdnal]

Wonder why they keep making the rear engine bay door smaller and smaller? Kinda defeats the advantages of a side radiator coach…

[@AZExpert]

This rear door is big, but the wind was just too loud to hear me

[@alowe338]

Price?

[@AZExpert]

I dont sell them so if there is no price it's generally already sold but you can always contact the dealer

[@cutterbacon]

I mean really nice but can you buy it for 20k?

[@AZExpert]

You cant buy much for 2ok

[@cutterbacon]

@@AZExpert I can buy a house here for 40k 3 bedroom.

[@billcorbet9746]

That's a 50 amp 240 volt plug. It would plug into a four wire range outlet. Just letting you know. Now everything in the RV is 120 volt, however I will bet your main breaker inside is a 2 pole 50 amp breaker, with one side doing 1/2 the breakers and the other side doing the other 1/2. Not knocking you, just saying what I know as an electrician, and in facebook groups so many get confused on the difference between 30 amp 120 and 50 amp 240 volt.

[@AZExpert]

you are correct of course

[@billcorbet9746]

You made me wish I was rich enough to buy that. I’ll bet that water heater works great.

[@tragedytrousers1769]

Learning to fly a plane was easier

[@AZExpert]

That's pretty scary

[@tragedytrousers1769]

@@AZExpert Well I didn't the sweaty ice cream cone thingy :)

[@wonderingtimesllc7203]

It's a converter that charges your 12V DC friend. Not an Invertor. An inverter takes your 12V DC and transforms it to 120 AC. Please do not think I am disrespectful. I admire your work here. You do a fine job.

[@AZExpert]

Yes, of course. This inverter is a inverter/charger but is only called an inverter. It can get confusing. Thanks!

Did he not wash his hands and literally touch every inch of that coach? Wash your hands dude!

[@AZExpert]

I'll definitely make sure I add hand washing to every video to make sure that people know that I wash my hands. 95% of the time I wear gloves too.

[@patrickmclaughlin6013]

only thing I do not like is that DEF/DPF crap, maybe you can register it in Mexico and delete it?

[@AZExpert]

I do not like it either

[@deanh7190]

You can send the ECM out for reprogramming and eliminate / delete all that stuff on the Cummins L9 depending on your state inspection process. Was going to do it but it works so well and the exhaust is unbelievably clean. No soot in pipe, no smoke and no smell...plus I am getting over 11 mpg on the 37' version of this coach so why mess with a good thing.
