Allegro Bay Owner's Manual - Tiffin Motorhomes

WINDOWS, AWNINGS, VENTS, & DOORSWindowsThe windows (Figure 13-1) on the Allegro Bay are of the sliding type. Optional double-pane windows alsoprovide additional thermal control (i.e., insulation) to maintaininterior temperatures better. In the optional, double-pane windows,a “dead air” space (filled with a dry, inert gas) is sealed between thetwo panes of glass—this “dead air” space provides additionalthermal insulation for the windows and prevents them from fogginginternally. Additionally, there may be a reflective coating on thewindows to reflect back a portion of the sunlight to reduce theheating of the motor-home interior and to reduce the effects of thesun’s “bleaching” of interior fabrics (curtains, upholstery).For both the driver’s and the passenger’s windows, additional sunvisors are available to permitblockage of the sun’s rayswhich may interfere withFigure 13-1. Windows on Driver’s Sidedriving. These shades canbe deployed, as needed, and then moved out of the way when no longerdesired.Figure 13-2. Emergency ExitIn the bedroom, one particular window (Figure 13-2) will be markedwith an “EXIT” label—this is an emergency escape to be used onlywhen normal exits are blocked or inaccessible. To use this emergencyescape, merely lift the red handles at the bottom of the window and pushoutwards to open the window.Should it be necessary to use this exit, please look for a secure footing when exiting so that no personal injury issustained in the process. It is also prudent, when parking the motor home, to be aware of where this“emergency-exit” window will be situated so that it is not inadvertently blocked or impeded (e.g., by a tree orpole) from its normal, intended operation, should such become necessary.AwningsYour Allegro Bay may be equipped with an optional, power patio awning (Figure 13-3).
