Tiffin Motorhomes in Red Bay Alabama

This leg of our trip was to go to the Tiffin factory where they made our motorhome. They have a campground that holds over a hundred motorhomes waiting for maintenance, modifications and repairs. We had a couple of repairs and while there we decided to have the washer/dryer and oven removed and some shelves put in. We also got a great deal on a leather sofa trading out our cloth one. It is so soft and warm. We are real happy with all the work that was done.

They have quite a system for service at Tiffin. At the crack of dawn you move your motorhome into a service bay. After you have gone over the work you want done you are free to stay in their great customer lounge with comfy sofas and chairs, television, tables for your computer, puzzles, checkers or chess. Or, you can go explore the countryside. When they are done with the work your motorhome is put back into your site and hooked back up.


We stopped in and visited Bob Tiffin, the founder of Tiffin Motorhomes. He always welcomes customers and we had a great chat.

We also got to meet Lex Tiffin. He is head of the Paint Shop. We toured it. They allowed us to just walk around and visit with the nice people who work at Tiffin. It is quite a process to paint the motorhomes and put all the swirls on them. We wanted to tour the factory, however, it was a two hour walk and I am not quite up to that yet.




One of the local restaurants with a lot of "character" was Swamp John's. It is in an old service station. The food is great.

Yes, at the end of the day Lance decided to relax on our new couch.

Did you get rid of the washer and dryer or have it put back? Seems like an important thing to have:)
