Please stop on the Honey oak wood finish.
Enough already on Honey oak hardwood, as a contractor I have not installed a honey oak floor in ten years. Please take the ordering process away from the dealers and let the coustomers decide.
Brown leather and honey oak is so done. I can not say it is done enough.

We paid a deviation fee ($300) so we could get darker leatherette material because of the dirt eventually showing up on the lighter material.
For the next 10 years I did not want to walk into our RV and see white or even light colored couch and seat material. So what goes with darker brown material but honey oak!!!!
Never been one to follow the trendy crap!!!! If you like it get it!!! You have to live with it not the trendy designers who change colors so you'll want to upgrade.

well acacia is an exotic wood. maybe I shouldn't have said trend- its just what I have been installing in a lot of coaches. Around 6 bucks a square foot for just the wood- not your home depot junk

Very Nice Ernie, flooring supply house around here can't get rid of 2 pallets of Honey oak, been sitting there for a year.
All that brown leather reminds me of, is dirt, any color but that brown.

To each his own. Personally I HATE the dark interiors currently in vogue. They make the interiors look dark and small. At least honey oak is bright and cherry

That's why you do a custom order. BTW, Tiffin hasn't used oak in years. Maybe it is making a comeback.

While we're on the topic, the entire interior decor schemes, of these Tiffins and most other motorhomes, remind me of my cousin's first house, which he and his wife bought soon after they got married in the mid '70's. What the heck? I wish we could get an Italian or European designer to do an upgraded custom version for a Tiffin Coach. I wouldn't buy a Winnebago class A diesel, but at least their new Horizon has a more contemporary interior look. And I guess you have to include Airstream (both trailers and vans) as another example.
So I have to ask: what is a "custom order" ? And does anyone else feel this way and have found any solutions? I"m new to this community, looking hard at a new or recent Tiffin motorhome, and am struggling with this part of it
Thanks for any advice / input

I've often wondered if there's a college out there that offers a degree in interior decorating for casinos, cheap hotels, and recreational vehicles.
Seriously: some of them are really terrible.

Of the 70 La's I have looked at, the best ones seem to be ordered new by coustomers. The real terrible ones, all seem to be ordered by dealers. Tiffin should take back more design control as the data & history through the years show what sells and what sits on the lot for 16 months.
Just viewed 3 - 2017's, or 2016 & a halfs, price dive to 128K, but they are just butt ugly on the inside.

Looks like Winnebago got the message and through out the 70's look. They came up with a complete interior make over on their new 2018 Horizon "winnebagoind.com"
