Looked over coach after trip, found ps side water tank sagging. 2009 allegro bus. Dug around found rotten wood etc. Had to go north for week with car for old timer dr appt. When getting back to SC next week, going to pull off cover since not a door there. Looks like wood frame holds up tank from touching metal?. It white tank and appears to be same tank all the way across to wet Bay.
All that being said. Does fresh tank go width of coach, and doesn't appear it can actually fall out.
Any and all observations would be appreciated!!
I will have good access to it with panel off. From underneath I think I can shore it up.

That was a known issue with your year model and Tiffin was covering repairs for ten years so I don't know if they will still cover yours or not. The other two issues with that year were the floor of the driver's side living room slide getting water intrusion and rotting out and the roof radius rails cracking. Those would be worth checking and it couldn't hurt to call Tiffin and ask if they will cover repairs.

Thanks so much..I do have the infamous radius cracking. I guess I better get to know folks at red bay

I don't believe Tiffin is covering this repair any longer, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to ask.

Towards the end of the period they were covering it they were having Kimbroughs RV perform the repair. I think it was being done at their Muscle Shoals location, but it may have been Tuscumbia.

Thanks for info. This forum is great. Learning so much, and any problem a person has, someone else knows about.
Thanks for your replies.

Tuscumbia for the slide floors and roof. Not sure about wet bay repairs but it's worth calling them. Note that they start *early*! They open at 0600 and close at 3pm Eastern time. Their number is: (256) 381-5816

Called Kimbrough in Tuscumbia. Getting it in for a good going over. Roof, wet bay, checking slides, etc. Really helpful professional. We love our bus and decided after looking at new or newer tiffin coaches, well worth investing in the one we have.
Thanks for everyone's help.
Will drop off in Alabama on way home first of March. Will give update on outcome and report on our experience with repair folks.

We were very happy with the new slideout floor. They have a rack with a dozen or more of them, fresh from Tiffin, waiting to be installed on customer's coaches. Everyone who worked there was great, and the other customers we met were uniformly happy with the work. Of course, our experience was a snapshot in time, but based on what I saw, Kimbrough's is a seriously professional operation and I'd expect good results are the norm. I would not hesitate to use them again.
