Well, I guess we have to change our name on here (and elsewhere) ... we bought a 2011 Revolution 42W on Thursday last and we take delivery this Thursday. We did an awful lot of soul searching and research on this one as it is our 5th, maybe our last, and certainly our most expensive. We loved our Phaeton for three and a half years and 32,000 miles and we really did shed a tear when we walked away from our Steed. Whoever buys it is getting one h*ll of a Coach for a great price! Now we have to change our name and leave the Tiffin family to join the Fleetwood one - oh well, new friends and stories to share I'm sure.

Congrats on your new coach from Bob and I. We just acquired a pre-enjoyed 2005 Revolution LE and I am already drooling over the new 2011 models....We haven't even taken ours out for the first overnight and I am already envious and looking at newer ones....Don't tell hubby...

Your floorplan is a great one and please, do post pictures as soon as you get it.

Wishing you many happy and healthy journeys.

Faith

GG1,
We were at Tom Johnson getting the base plate on out tow car the other day and the Revolution has one of the best floorplans out there I think and now that the moved it to under the American line...the quality is moving on up...great MH for the price and get lots of extras....might want to go take a peek.

Tony & Yolanda, welcome to the "Revolution"!

OK, which coach did you buy (colors). They had one almost identical to ours, except the interior wood, when we picked ours up last November. Who did you buy it from? Do you know who your delivery tech will be?

I encourage you to spend a week in their campgound after you take delivery. It's easier to get any issues that may pop up taken care of while you're right there.

Congratulations, and maybe we'll see you down the road.

These are a few pics of the Phaeton we traded ... I'm just getting used to this site so playin' a bit ... I'll post Revolution pics soon ... any limit (other than the boredom one) on how many pics you can post or, at least, what's considered "tasteful"??

And here is the Revolution! BTW I don't know how to remove the Dealer's phone # from the pics and I am not deliberately promotinghim ... I hope I haven't breached any protocol(s) and, if I did, I apologize.

Beautiful coach! That's the 'Granite Pearl' exterior graphics. We almost owned one in those colors, but they'd have to make to many changes to the one we located and did not want to put our choice of sat dish on it as it had not been built for it (ours was modified on the line specifically for the Traveler).


Why was I thinking you had bought from Tom Johnson's?

they're asking $199K, "web special" $189K, I think they'll take $180K cash deal. Whoever buys it will get a heck of a coach.
