I'm looking to buy this model, but I can't find much of anything about it on-line.
The 2007 Phaeton brochure doesn't mention it.
It has a Mercedes Benz engine, and I also can't find much about the Phaeton having a MB engine.
This has Phaeton painted on the front, so I don't believe this is an Alegro Bus 40 QDP
Has anyone had any experience with this model?

You might find this site helpful RV Tech Library In addition to the page linked, I would suggest going through the selections in the menu to the left. For example Chassis > Freightliner Info.

I have owned my 06 Charleston for a year and a half, and it has the MBE926 engine. So far, I have have had no problems. It has plenty of power and gets good mileage. My only complaint is all the oil and fuel filters are on the top of the engine, so maintenance has to be performed from inside the coach.
Good luck

Thanks for the replies.
I also posted on a few FB posts and someone suggested I call Tiffin.
They were very helpful.
I was able to give them the last 6 digits of the VIN and they told me this is a QDH.
This matches the back closet information, I'm not sure where the dealer got that this is a QDP.
Either way, it's a great deal and I look forward to full timing in "Wanda".
