Tiffin Wayfarer reviews

To be fair in every possible way - note the dispersion of the ratings above. Floor plan, in concept, was close to perfect (except for poor placement of the generator which was corrected in the following year model). Paint, trim colors and seating - amazing. We bought a Tiffin Wayfarer new. Instead of being able to pick up - we learned it had a recall for a poor wire harness design that wrapped around the driver’s seat stalk (e.g. under the seat) and required regulatory approval since it could, in theory, affect the airbags. At this point, we were ok since it felt safety related and we were understanding. Delay of game, 68 days. Picked up the unit. Learned that the rear camera wire feeds were installed wrong by factory. Drove to Alabama, had a new software upgrade installed and factory removed and reinstalled wire harness. Also had extra solar panel installed. During this time, we also had various pieces of interior trim shortened (they were bowed in and force fit which meant on the first bump they popped out, x3 locations). Some peeling of wallpaper, was fixed by dealership with glue, no biggie. Delay of game, 5 days (detour out of the way). Lights and electrical go out in Texas. Discovered when the factory installed the extra solar panel, they forget to tighten the battery cables - found repair guy in Louisiana, $100 cash to troubleshoot. Called factory more than frosty. Delay of game, 1.5 days. Drive to Colorado/Utah. Turns out a mud flap connection bolt head poked through the bolt hole allowing the mud flap to slip down - rubbing on the tire - and vaporized the mud flap into the shower compartment, meaning we had a rubberized soot coating the shower stall. This was not clearly tied to the mud flap but eventually we figured it out. At first we thought it was exhaust soot but found the mud flap with a U shaped wear. Went to Home Depot, used a drill and got a bigger bolt with a washer head. Replaced all of the mudflap bolts with a washer (so they wouldn’t pull through the rubber). Delay of game, 1.5 days total troubling shooting and then installing fix by self. Arrive into Utah. Noticing flaking of the undercarriage. Turns out the model which was listed as 2021 was a chassis that was 2019. Rust flakes were coming off in the generator compartment. The design of the generator was directly under the rear twin bed. It felt like a cheap hotel where your bed would shake if you put a quarter in. Note, this design was fixed in the next year model and the generator was moved towards the front of the unit. We later found out there is a recall on the tow hitch - it can disconnect spontaneously due “undersized bolts”. And the tire valve stems were recalled, they could spontaneously blow out. Did I mention the high quality paint job ? The quality of the paint - all of it is perfect. The layout is beautiful. The aesthetics are amazing. The engineering…not so much. Made it to Utah. Took pictures of coach in front of Zion. Looked amazing (both the part and the camper). Headed back to hometown. The cabinet which houses the sanitary drains had a handle which failed. That handled is coated with paint and Tiffin fedexed a repair handle (which is locking) in record time. Driving around meant that periodically that cabinet door would fly open. Zip tied it shut and then used wire snipers to remove zip tie when draining gray water/black tanks and then reinstall fresh zip tie. We fixed everything and made the coach perfect. Made sure every single issue was perfect and repaired. Sold it and bought an airstream. Not a single problem with the airstream ever. Rock solid. This is a great franchise with superb design. The ability to build units is beyond disappointing. Show less

Love this RV. It drives better and safer then a car. Very functional and easy to use. Also, very comfortable sleeping and quit. Many luxuries, AC/Heat, Propane tank-long lasting, excellent gas mileage (estimated 16 plus MPG). I had dealer install Wi-Fi Connector. I get many comments about its beauty/Appearance. Selling to upgrade in size to visit grandkids' around the country. Only serious inquiries please, who loves simplicity and enjoys travel and outdoors! This RV holds it's value compared to other RV's.

I like everything about this RV. I really don't want to sell but my Real estate commission fell thru to a deal not closing. was counting on it. This RV is the bomb. I just bough it and drove it to Ca. from N.C. Breaks my heart to put it on the market. Gets great mileage. So nice to have all the conveniences of home while you are CAMPING. Show less

I bought this right before the 2021s came out and got a great deal. It has a Ford cab which is what I wanted over a Mercedes. I enjoy camping in this vehicle usually solo or with my 9 year old grandson. The van has been great! However, I have had nothing but problems with the motorcoach. The flooring started coming up after our first camping trip. I took it for warranty repair June, 2021, and it still isn't repaired. Molding is coming down and trim is peeling. The city water valve that I couldn't reach had not been turned on. The front door had not been installed correctly so every time the frame got hot from the sun, it could not be opened. I expected some warranty issues but I've listed only the big ones. The smaller ones were repaired. My flooring still hasn't been replaced. La Mesa RV, the dealer, keeps saying Tiffin isn't sending the flooring. I finally got a response to my emails through the customer service website in January 2022 when I would not renew my membership int he Tiffin Allegro Club. I have spoken with them the last 3 weeks and no one there can tell me anything except "I'm sorry. We are calling Allegro, Wayfarer, etc. We'll get back to you". I have vinyl flooring peeling up. I bought a Tiffin and paid a bit more because of the excellent customer service. Since it has been bought by Thor, I guess the customer service aspect is gone. So very sad. I wish I could give a 0 for Factory Warranty/Support. Show less

The Sprinter Mercedes Benz is the most comfortable vehicle we have driven. The Tiffin motorhome is excellent in design and workmanship fit and finish. The 25QW specifically is the most useful floorpan, as the bedroom slide moves to the back and does not use excessive floor space. Show less

Very fun to drive due to its ease ability and craftsmanship. Handles the road in harsh weather and have never had any mechanical issues. True quality item stands true to the saying: ‘you get what you pay for’. Show less

Extremely comfortable to drive. Very easy to park and with two slide outs it is very roomy. Tiffin is top of the line for quality. The 25QW has a great bedroom design with the queen bed drops down. The bed is a solid mattress (no folds). Show less

We love our Tiffin Wayfarer on a Mercedes chassis it has a Diesel engine which is good on fuel. Loving the bedroom in the rear. We have had only small issues and we haved used it frequently we love camping at State Parks. Everywhere we go people say they want one and love to have one like ours and Tiffin is known for quality.We have nothing but compliments on it, especially from experience RV people. Tiffin Wayfarer customers service people are the best. Also, Colton RV where we bought it has given us nothing but the best service. We have owned several RV's and this one is the best. Hope this helps others. I feel if you own a RV you have to be prepared to fix minor things it is 11,000 lb home on wheels moving down the road at 60 miles and hour. People need to get that and expect some issues or don't buy one. Don't expect perfection and no problems with your RV. Buy an extended warranty it is worth every penny. Show less
