TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO RED® Chapter 9 EXTERIOR FEATURESTowing HitchOn the rear of the Allegro RED can be found a Class 3, 10,000-poundtowing hitch (Figure 9-1) capable of handling a tongue weight of 1,000pounds. This hitch is installed for towing a passenger car to be usedwhen the vehicle is parked. The wire connector installed with this hitch isa standard, seven-pin connector. For more information on theconnector, please see Chapter 7of this Owner’s Manual.Figure 9-1. Towing HitchExterior SidesThe sides (Figure 9-2) of your Allegro RED are constructed of gel-coatedfiberglass. To add to this feature, the end caps are also gel-coatedfiberglass. To clean these fiberglass surfaces, only use warm water and amild cleanser; gently wash with soft cloths. Use of stiff bristle brushes orother harsh abrasives may cause scratches in the fiberglass surfaces.Please note: Tiffin Motorhomes is NOT responsible for the weatheringand/or oxidation of gel-coated surfaces.Lighted storage compartments are located on the exterior sides of yourAllegro RED. These external compartments provide ample, additionalFigure 9-2. Motor Home Exteriorspace for your belongings while you are traveling. When stowingmaterials in these storagecompartments, try to “balance” the resultant weight load from front torear and from side to side—this will keep the center of gravity of the motor home essentially unchanged and should notadversely affect the handling characteristics of the motor home when it is in motion.Security LightsOn the Allegro RED, exterior security lights (Figure 9-3) are standard features. A lightis installed on the passenger side of the coach to help light that side of the AllegroRED for added protection. This light can serve as a “porch light” when the motorhome is parked and the awning is deployed so that various activities (e.g., sittingoutside, grilling, visiting) at dusk and later can be enjoyed by the motor-homeowners and their guests.Figure 9-3. Security LightRoof & LadderFigure 9-4. RoofLadderThe Allegro RED is manufactured with a fiberglass roof accessed by a ladder (Figure 9-4). Propercare and routine maintenance of your roof will assure many years of trouble-free performance.Please see Chapter 14 for details on recommended cleaning instructions. On the Allegro RED, aroof ladder (rated capacity: 200 pounds, maximum) may also be included as an additional feature.The ladder is typically used to permit easy access to the roof for routine maintenance andperiodic inspections. The ladder is hinged so that its lower half can be folded up onto the upperhalf when the motor home is in transit. When folding up that ladder and securing it, be sure thatthe ball-lock pin is securely fastened through the locking device to secure the ladder.9-2
TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO RED® Chapter 9 EXTERIOR FEATURESWarningDo not exceed the maximum rating of the ladder (i.e., 200-pound load limit).Do not attempt to walk on the roof either while it is wet or when condensation ispresent from the air-conditioning system, as that surface would be quite slippery.Leveling Jacks (Hydraulic)WarningIf the vehicle is equipped with a slide-out, DO NOT OPERATE any room extensionuntil the leveling and stabilizing procedure has been properly completed. DO NOTRETRACT the leveling system until the slide-out room has been retracted. NEVERoperate the leveling system when the slide-out is extended.HYDRAULIC LEVELING SYSTEMThe Allegro RED is equipped with hydraulic-leveling jacks. These jacks work in pairs: Front, right side, left side, andrear. Before extending these jacks, the engine must be “off,” the ignition switch must be in the “ACC” position, andthe transmission must be in “park.” The parking brake needs to be set and the tires blocked securely; then theleveling jacks can be activated.CautionDO NOT LIFT the wheels of the motor home off the ground when leveling—if done,the motor home can tilt forwards or backwards when supported only by the levelingjacks. Never use the jacks to lift the motor home off the ground to change the tiresor perform any under-chassis maintenance—these jacks are not meant for this typeof service and this misuse would be very dangerous to the operator.9-3
