SLIDE FLOOR REPLACEMENT IN OUR 2007 ALLEGRO BUS

Tiffin 2007 Allegro Bus Driver’s Slide Floor Replacement

March 2013.

In March of 2013, we needed to have our Driver’s Slide Floor replaced. The composition board that Tiffin used was not holding up and had started to deteriorate from the inside. Normally the floor rots from the outside. Tiffin as a goodwill policy will replace the floor at Tiffin’s cost for coaches less than 6 years old. We fell just within those guidelines, so we were able to get the floor replaced. Tiffin will also replace the carpet, if you supply the new carpet or pick out a carpet they supply. Since we did not like their supply, we went to Red Bay Carpet, 801 4th St NE, Red Bay, AL 35582 256-356-8050.

We picked out a nice multi toned brown Berber style carpet approximately the same width and length as the already installed carpet. We took it back to the bay and the techs installed the carpet. We left unbound along the edges, as Tiffin did not have a colored binding. We got Trevor Nichols to come over, he has a portable binding machine and he installed a brown edging to match the carpet. The techs know what they are doing. Do a professional job.

You must remove all the items from you lower cabinets and remove anything breakable from the upper cabinets. Just follow my photos below and you will see why. Enjoy!

Welcome To Our Blog. A Record of Our Journey

A personal account of our life as RV'ers. Workamping, our way around the country. Seeing and doing exactly what we want, when we want and how we want. We travel in a "new to us" 2007 Allegro Bus 42' Motor Home made by Tiffin Motor Homes located in Red Bay, AL. Traveling along with us is our very spoiled beagle. Simon, who also does what he wants,when he wants and above all how he wants.
