Tiffin customer service

What has been your experience when you call Tiffin service? Mine has not been good at all. Was on hold for 1:20 minutes with the message that I am number 1 on the wait list. Phone then hung up on me. I called again was told everyone was out to lunch. Seriously!! Was put on hold again and never got anyone on the phone. I left my number for someone to call me, two hours and nothing yet. I'm so mad I think I'll go back into this forum and re-read "Tiffin vs Newmar". I presently own a 2018 Phaeton and I don't know for how much longer.

Nothing but the highest praise for both parts department and service department.
Most calls came early in our ownership as newbee questions were answered. Later as things settled in and travel was in jeopardy they returned calls with solutions promptly.
On two occasions Bob himself called to see if we were happy with his staff and were back on the road.
Our initial punch list, 15 years ago, included several items mishandled by the dealer and a cracked windshield where all repaired within two days while at Red Bay.

I'll be glad to take your Phaeton off your hands "as is".

I've not had any issues with Tiffin Service. We've owned our coach only since April, but the half dozen or so times I've been in contact with them since, I've had good service.

I usually prefer to send emails, so I have a record of the conversation, but I've also called. The longest I was on hold with a call was probably 10min or so, but I did get through to someone & my questions were answered on the spot. Emails have been answered within a day or 2. My most recent experience was just last week. I sent an email, after hours, on the 27th & I got a response on the 2nd - it was a holiday weekend, so the longer response time was expected.

Long story short, I've been happy with my experiences with Tiffin Service.

WE found them great. WE called about 4 different times and 3 times talked to someone within minutes. On the 4th call they told us all techs were busy and they would call back shortly... well they called in 10 minutes. You can't beat that. AND they walked through a fix each time.

very mixed experience with Tiffin service

My problem with delamination of the inner entry door panel was grossly mishandled on the service side of Tiffin. Lack of response after notification of the issue and followthru was not in line with standard business practice. I even placed a call to Bob and send him email to no avail. In the end a person in the parts department took care of me since they were never informed by the service department to send me a replacement panel. My emails were often ignored with the excuse they never received them or the particular person was not able to access the mail server. I will not much longer have a need for Tiffin service.

I have timed my calls so that I call at non-peak call times. The most I have waited was just a few minutes.

Have had two different Tiffin’s since 2004 so I have had to call many times over the years and really can’t remember waiting terribly long to speak with someone.

Tiffin customer service

Tiffin Service never got back to me and all I had was a pretty simple question with a yes or no answer. We will be heading down to Florida right after Christmas for some repairs at Lazy Days. One of the problems I am having is that I cannot work the blue ray DVD player. I am almost certain that I had a remote that said Theater on it which I cannot find. At present I can hear the CD on surround sound very loudly but no picture and am unable to change that problem with the remotes that I do have. The question----does my 2018 40QBH Phaeton have a remote for the CD player? If it does I need to order one. Just as a heads up, don't call Tiffin service during lunch hour since I was told that EVERYONE in the service dept. goes to lunch at the same time yet the phone will tell you that you are first in line and someone will be with you shortly. Oh and after an hour and a half the phone just hangs up on you.

When they are done with your coach at Lazy Days, be sure to review the work carefully. We just spent some time there and the problem we had was worse after. Not to mention they really scuffed up the paint on the side of the coach they were working on.
I'll not take my coach there again in the future.

My 2017 does have a seperate remote. It looks similar to the tv remote but has some extra buttons to control the player. If you can hear the sound from the DVD player but no video on the screen check to make sure your input on the tv is set to blue ray. If that doesn’t fix the problem make sure the HDMI cable is plugged into the back of the DVD player.

Also having been to the factory for service I can confirm that everyone does break for lunch at the same time.
