Newbie from Portland, OR

Went to B. Young RV in Portland, Oregon and put down my deposit on a new order from the factory. Hoping to learn my build date soon so I can visit the new Tiffin Wayfarer factory and watch them build my coach. After years of "saving up" for an Allegro Bus 37AP I decided I didn't want to wait another 5 years or so. Might as well have some fun going out and about before the grandkids get too old and no longer want to go on trips with the grandparents.
I ordered it with just about everything I wanted. I'm going to have the dealer add 2 solar panels and the satellite RV system. I'm already ordering my MiFi, weBoost, and other electronics for connectivity (trick where be where to mount things in such a small space) that I'll deal with myself after delivery.
Only disappointment on the ordering side was I was hoping to add either a HWH or Equalizer Systems Self Leveling system. Both vendors make special versions for the Sprinter Chassis that doesn't require welding or drilling the frame as they use a clamping system instead. However, the dealer talked with Tiffin and was told they don't recommend it due to the gross vehicle and individual axle weight restrictions. Oh well, I guess I cannot be as lazy during setup and breakdown as I wanted to be.
Best,
-Mark

Welcome. Congrats on the new coach. You are going to love it.
Have you thought about adding some scissor jacks which weigh less and certainly better than leveling blocks.
