Looks like I may have mistakenly posted this earlier on the wrong thread. :(

I know there is a wealth of knowledge on this site and I would like to tap into the vast knowledge base rather than try and reinvent the wheel.

I am interested in upgrading a 2006 Zephyr to a household double door stainless fridge to replace the aged double door Dometic that is in there and replace the original tv's to led flat screen.

1. What is a good ballpark cost to modify the cabinetry and uninstall/install a new double door household fridge that I can provide or the vendor can? I understand the windshield has to be removed and reinstalled?

2. What is a good ballpark cost to modify the cabinetry above the drivers seat and the bedroom for a flatscreen?

3. What is a good ballpark cost to repaint the front cap where about a dozen rock chips are?

4. I am also interested in any recommendations of the Red Bay After Hours Vendors that are experienced in these upgrades....and of course any that would give cause to hesitate to use.

Not looking for an exact quote, but rather a ballpark cost or range of normally accepted costs.

Thank everyone for their input.

Dennis,

I've purchased almost all on the internet. There for a while my empty boxes piled up higher than the rig. Most I found on Amazon. Some direct through the manufacturer on their web site. Others through etrailers.com. I've also had good luck calling Tiffin Service in Winfield and ordering things from them (for example the 2nd towel bar on the shower door). For Mercedes specific items a dealership in Atlanta puts the entire parts catalog online with OEM diagrams. My project his month is puddle lights for the cab doors.

Best,
-Mark

Upgraded folding bed latch on Wayfarer 24BW

A couple of weekends ago I upgraded the latch that holds the bed upright in its folded position when the back slide is retracted. My wife and I had upgraded to a better mattress and the extra thickness put quite a strain on the custom latch mechanism on the passenger side. I was concerned some day I was going to tear the screws out of the side of the piece of wood on the folding section as I bounced down the road.

I called Tiffin Service in Winfield and asked if I could order a duplicate latching system for the driver's side to reduce the strain in half by distributing it to both sides. Not a request they've ever had before, but they happily packaged up all the parts required (brackets, latch, catch, screws, nuts, bolts, etc.). The price was jaw dropping dirt cheap (they spent more in labor preassembling most of it for me vs simply shipping a bag of loose parts) and it was very easy to install as I replicated the driver side to match the passenger's.

Best,
-Mark

No worries. Found these links in my order history.

MERCEDES SPRINTER CHROME SIDE WING MIRROR COVER TRIM SET W906
https://www.amazon.com/MERCEDES-SPRI.../dp/B00VWOCH0Y

and

OMAC MERCEDES SPRINTER CHROME QUARTER WINDOW COVER MIRROR PANEL TRIM
https://www.amazon.com/MERCEDES-SPRI.../dp/B00VWOLJ6M

I think the really look good. Also easier to clean of the bugs, which is an added bonus.

Best,
-Mark

Installed the led lamp in the handle ran wires behind door trim, thru the switch module box and spliced into the outside under step light.

Love the changes you made. Any issues getting the furniture in/out through the door? I haven't bought one yet but leaning toward the 34PA but hate where the TV is located.

Tiffin Open Road, passenger front floor window

Noticed that the 2018 Tiffin Open Road Allegro, and the Allegro Bay and Allegro Star, dating back to 1997, have had a small passenger side front seat floor/footwell window. Some have called them doggy windows.

Can anyone give me a part number, manufacturer for this window assembly?

Would love to add one to our coach, and be able to see cars hiding in that space.

Cotton top

The small window looks like a good idea but when my wife is in the front seat I can’t see out of it while driving

2019 Allegro Red Upgrades added

We added the following upgrades to our 2019 Tiffin Allegro Red.

1. Tyron inserts for front tire.
2. EEZ Tire TPMS system to coach and tow car
3. Safe-T-Plus bars
4. Kona Shocks

All upgrades done to improve handling and safety of the coach. Coach rides better and handles much better now with these modifications.
