Tiffin (Better tier): Tiffin's mid-line diesel pusher: Crane Noble all-composite sidewalls, tubular aluminum framing, steel basement and a Freightliner PowerGlide raised-rail chassis with ZF independent front suspension - genuinely well built, with the caveat that post-2021 Thor-era service is not what the family-run years were.

FINDING ONE

Patient search: weeks of watching, and probably some travel. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

The compact Phaeton and a used-market bargain - a family-era Tiffin diesel you can still park in a normal site. The 2017-18 cars carry 3,000 lb more GVWR than earlier ones.
