2008 Tiffin Phaeton reviews

Bought a used Tiffin and the quality is just not there. There were several things that were needed to be fixed that was poor when the camper was built. All the windows were bad and they wanted some kind of crazy price for new windows. The mounts that are from the frame to the coach have broken and there is a rear end sag. The detail in the camper was just not there Show less

driving this coach is like being on a cloud. the panoramic view out the windshield is great. the adjustable pedals really let you change your seat position for a more comfortable position. the livability of the floor plan with all slides out create a good flow. we removed the "j bed" couch and replaced it with a small cabinet and a euro recliner. we also installed an "air force one" braking system on the coach for our tow vehicle; it assists the braking of tow vehicle greatly. the only maintenance that has not been performed on this coach is to service the 6 speed allison tranny and that is scheduled for Janurary, '21. support from the tiffin personnel in red bay, al. is beyond reproach.

We have dearly loved this coach Never been smoked in nor have had and pets I would never own anything other than a Tiffin Coach as I have never had a glitch-with it. It is the closest to a showroom new Coach and ready to roll. Would certainly keep it if my wife could continue RVing It is truly a once in a lifetime investment at a very reduced cost compared to what all the amenities of a new package. Must see Show less

We have the same model except no fireplace. We had to replace the Norcold Refrigerator two years ago and the back end floor had to be lifted. Tiffin did it because it was a recall and done under the time frame. We love this unit! Show less

Overall 4 stars. Tiffin quality great. love spartan chassis and tag axle. Hurricane Michael battered her beyond repair, and we're shopping for another Tiffin. that should say quite a bit about our experience. Show less

I researched for 2 years prior to buying our Diesel pusher motorhome, and found that for 'average' RVing, either part time or full time, that the Phaeton fit the bill. For those that want extreme 'fanciness' Tiffin has those as well, you just pay more for them. It came down to Tiffin or Newmar, and I didn't like the all heat vents in the floor, over the Tiffin which just had one in the bedroom, and the rest along the sides. We've only owned our unit for a year, but did have to go to the U.S., as there where very few if any in this coach 'length' as we're able to park it in our driveway, plus has all the room we could ever want with the 4 slides. I feel that maintenance is the mainstay with regard to owning a trouble free unit, as I do much of my own, other than I recently had a full service, and was a little astonished as to the cost here in Canada! I had a Fumoto valve installed where the oil drain plug was, so I can drain my own oil, a gallon at a time...where I can start/stop the old oil flow as I wish, and once empty - refill it with new oil myself. I also will change all filters from here on in, thus cutting down on some of the expense. This motorhome is a breeze to drive, the seats are extremely comfortable, and we love coming back to that comfort while away after being gone for the day. It can be a big job washing and waxing these units, but there is lots to be proud of once you sit back with a drink after all the hard work! Show less

We thoroughly enjoyed our usage of the Phaeton RV. Very comfortable riding in super comfy chairs. The Sleep Number Mattress is a joy. We added slides to the underside which made finding the things we needed incredibly easy. Will miss our trips. Fun way to travel Show less

Over all quality is very good. I have had four motorhomes and this one is the easiest to drive. Very stable on the highway even in wind conditions. The 360 Cummins does a good job, I tow a 2015 GMC Acadia approx 5000 lbs and no problem at all.The air conditioning keeps up well in hot conditions as well.One big thing for me is the help you recieve from Tiffin if required. They actually answer the phone in a timely manor. WOW. Show less

Kitchen slide out sags, noticable misalignment of overhead cabinet doors. Kitchen sink glued under counter with minimal support, fell in. Counter workspace slide fell apart. Electric levelers (Atwood Levelegs), major nightmare, replaced system only to have three new legs fail over the course of three years. Show less

We purchased our Tiffin used 3 1/2 years ago. We have had a couple items relating to design flaws. I refer to these flaws as items, because you would not know you had the flaw without talking to Customer Service or other owners. Tiffin's Customer Service is the best! They fix flaws that you do not even know you had at no charge on a 5 year old coach for the second owner. This is our first Tiffin. Prior to this coach we had a Class A gas Winnebago and a Class A Diesel Winnebago. The Tiffin is a much better coach in our opinion. The ride, power, storage space and storage trays to name a few things. You would not know you are pulling a car! Show less
