Yes, we have now gone though 5 complete years of living full time in our 2014 Tiffin Allegro Bus model 45LP. Woot woot! So we figured that we would run around the coach and point out things that we surely would want to have when the time comes for a new coach.
First, and we forgot to mention this, YES we would buy another Tiffin Motor Coach. However, the issue is, Tiffin does not have a floor plan that we like as much or better that the model 45LP. Until they, or some other manufacturer does, we are very happy in our coach.
Everything we show we have done a blog post or video on at one time or another. The reason we are doing this is we have A LOT of new subscribers and followers that may not have seen those videos or read the blog posts. We figured doing a ONE TAKE run around the coach would maybe be fun at at the same time maybe someone would see something they were not aware of.
So we will let the video do all the chatting as we run around pointing things out. We surely did not touch upon everything we have bought or talked about for the coach. Oh my, that would be VERY LONG. But items we feel we would point out as they are items we would surely not want to be without.
Items listed in the order they appeared in the video…

RE: the Ring. What did you mean by automotive tape? Like the idea.
So much you have done that I need to do ! Lol
Thanks!
Like the 3M double sided tape. Has a red backing on one side of it and is gray tape. The stronger tape is black in color.
Black Velcro worked best for me on black paint…
Always fun to watch. Freestyle videos are oftentimes the best, IMO. Keep up the great work, guys!
Yes, actually when I think about it, most of our videos are one take videos and then I just digitally edit them as needed. The difference sometimes is that in some I will remove things from the video, a mess ups where I said something incorrectly, but thinking back..I usually leave them. I think I mentioned it this time incase we forgot to mention something as we made no list and just said…”Let’s just go around the coach and point things out.” It worked well. Brenda did not like her hair as it was windy, I however did not have that issue. :)
Great video as always you two ! To funny. I have been following you two for a few years congrads on going on your 6th year. wow very cool. We were really wanting to go full time this year but our careers got in the way. hopefully in the next couple years, I’m hoping. We even have our motorhome all picked out and now with all your great videos and advice I know exactly the options I would need to have on the bus as well.
I did get a little worried you forgot about the automatic flush valves lol but you came through.
But there are a few options I think you didn’t mention, I’m sure because it was a quick overview but my guess these are options you couldn’t live without. Mandatory options for you guys ?
Since you mentioned your instapot Im guessing these options would be additions you’d have to have ?
Coach Proxy & Alexa
VPN Bonding
Dash Cam
Winegard Rayzar OTA HD Antenna
White noise generator or app
Water pressure regulator
Motorhome Dash Mat
David Bott favorite hack, auto on Aqua Hot hehe
So as you can see I have been following you for a few years hehe. Anyway they have been very useful mods so i know I would have to have in our coach someday.
Again congrads on going on your 6th year and thank you both for the great videos and information.
Kevin & Cindy
Oh by the way David May I suggest you tell those posting to highlight and save their message before posting because, which has happened to me a couple times now is wrote a nice long message only for it to not be posted due to the verification process kicking it out for some reasons. And yes I know how to ad lol. That way if it get denied you can re copy it to the message box and try again. Has happened to me a few times hehe.
Super video! Needless to say our list is getting longer. Just got the electric values and Jane is looking forward to me installing them. Safe travels and hope to meet up again down the road.
After 5 years, how do you feel about the Motorhome itself?
Too Big? Too Small?
Would you buy Tiffin Again?
Love the coach. Would not want anything smaller. Would, and want to, buy another Tiffin but they don’t have a floor plan we like better than the 45LP which they stopped making in 2015. The kitchen is now much smaller in space and so is the front of the coach in general. We also like the kitchen table and our headboard to be on the passenger side of the coach.
All if which was said in the above post. :)
Just curious, you said you bought a Dyson, did the coach not come with a built in system?
We mentioned in the video that we actually pulled out the central vac as they are kind of useless to use, IMHO, in a motor coach. Storing the tubes and then dealing with them inside the coach as you move around. Not to mention, no power head. So it just does not work in such a setting.
