I am waiting for delivery for my new 34PA from tiffin and I have been learning a lot from this site. Thanks to all of you experienced RVers for that. I bought my motorhome out of state and I am looking to develop a relationship with a good local Motorhome technician/repairman. Any recommendations for one in the Denver front range area? As a newbie I am sure I will have more questions , ie., good storage place. Thanks in advance.

I believe you are going to find that the service departments in the local dealerships are completely overwhelmed. I know it shouldn't matter but if you bought your RV somewhere else and need warranty work you are going to be at the bottom of an already long list and then you will keep being pushed back. Not fair but that is the real world.
Best advice is to become real familiar with the systems on your RV and be able to solve any issues ( at least the minor ones ) on your own.
Warranty repairs and replacement parts availability have become a real problem at least in part to covid shut downs.

Make at least one trip to Red Bay before your warranty expires to get all issues resolved. You stay at their campground for free if you are under warranty and all issues are fixed for free since you are under warranty. Be patient and is best to arrive on a Friday. If you must you can leave the coach there and come back to pick it up. We are on way home from Red Bay after our second trip, our warranty expires next month.

I think you will get much better warranty service from the dealer you bought it from??

Questions: I would not hesitate to call the sales dealership, but my first thought would be the manufacture,

Going to Red Bay is a 2,400 mile round trip from Denver. Isn't there any other way to get a Tiffin RV serviced?

I see a lot of Tiffin owners go to Red Bay and it always puzzles me what they would do if there was something seriously wrong with their coach.

I think your best option is to find an independent RV repair shop in your area that will do warranty work on Tiffin. Tiffin should be able to supply you with a list. Also, you really should make at least one trip to red bay before you warrantee expires. It is worth the trip to see the place. The entire town revolves around Tiffin with lots of businesses who will work on your coach.

This might not work for you but there are RV tech training centers located all over the US. They offer what I believe is good training for about $1600. and a week of your time. Considering what repairs cost and the need for repeated maintenance, it makes sense to me. I plan to sign up at my first opportunity and I have been RV’ing since 1983.

Hi Bob, you guys are about 5 months ahead of us with the same coach. Just curious, where did you take your coach for the "mandatory" 6 month service.
If you did so, were you happy?
I have a Freightliner Service Center very close, probably going there.

Start with the Tiffin Website > Owners > Find a Service Center. Put in your zip code & you'll get a list of Tiffin approved centers in your area.

They're adding locations all the time so check back often.
