Soon to be owner has question
Hello everyone,
Well, my wife and I have done it... we placed a deposit on a new 2011 35qba!!
The only problem is that the dealer is six hours away from us and we cannot look at it until this Friday. If everything is as they say it is, we'll drive it home this Friday or Saturday.
Question for Allegro owners:
I know this does not come with an inverter (which will be rectified very soon).
Do any of the TV's work without the generator running or are they all 110v?
I don't need or want the front one, no debates please, looking for answers on the mid coach or bedroom TV.
Thanks a bunch.

LOL, nope, I'm in southern California and that would be a little farther than 6 hours from me.
I'm going to try my insurance company and then compare to GMAC and Progressive. I've heard good things about GMAC but it would be slightly easier to group on my existing policy if the price is right.
I'll report back next week and let you know how it went.
Good luck to you!

I don't believe the Allegro has an inverter as an option.
I do know Tiffin does not put 12V TVs in any of their coaches. If you want to watch TV without hookups, you will need to add an inverter. If you add one, you might want to consider a true sine wave inverter. I think Tiffin is still using Panasonic TVs, and I'm not aware of any problems with Panasonic with modified sine wave inverters; but for a few extra bucks, true sine wave will eliminate any questions.
Good luck with your new coach. Post some pics if you get it.

We just recently purchased a 2011 35 QBA. All TV's are Panasonic and they all run off of 110 power. Tiffin's media system is all digital as well, so make sure you have a HD satellite receiver if you are going to use the satellite dish or you will have to run RCA cables to your TV.
We went with Progressive at $835/year. Let me know if you find a better deal.

Thank you for the info Tyboe. Have you installed an inverter or are you not interested?
I've got quotes coming in from Progressive, GMAC, Hartford, Geico, and Blue Sky. That should reveal something.

I would like to install an inverter, we just haven't gotten around to it yet. We bought it last month and we have totaled 14 days in it so far and now it is in the shop for some warranty items. Let me know if you find one that works. I know that there is a lot of information on this forum.

We were in SoCal last week visiting close friends(we lived in Tustin and lake forest for 25 years). We stopped by Mike Thompsons RV and saw some great allegro qba's. We are buying one here (VA) this weekend also.
Good luck

Yondog,
What a small world indeed.
My son lives in Irvine so I stop at Mike Thompsons often... my wifes says a little too often. We liked one of the units at M.T. in Carson but Happy Daze in Livermore had a better equipped unit and a better deal.
My son is getting married in a few weeks and we've booked three nights at Newport Dunes. It's a little pricey but close to all the activities so worth it.
Hopefully I'll report back with pics next week.

Congrats on the wedding. We also priced the dunes when we were there. Agree it is a bit pricey but with exception of O'Neil park in Lake Forest, I don't know of any other RV spots in the area.
We are buying this weekend also. Not sure about the extended warranty as I have heard mixed stories. I'm not very handy when it comes to fixing things. Also looking into Good Sam offerings.
Best of luck.

I happen to be handy and enjoy fussing with stuff. No ext warranty for me... at least not right away. I've heard such good things about Tiffin and their customer support that I will do all the simple work myself.
I'll stick with the MFG warranty for now and should know in three or four months if an extended would be prudent. I believe you can buy the extended warranty later and should not be pressured into buying at the dealer.
I hope your buying experience goes well and without any problems.

Yondog,
Canyon RV Park in Anaheim Hills area is nice as well, cheaper than Newport and nicer than O'Neil.

Wow, that looks nice!! I didn't know that campground existed.
Thanks for the tip. I might use that sometime to visit my son.
