Tiffin motorhomes are among the largest and most well-appointed rigs on the road. Choosing a resort that can accommodate your coach comfortably — and deliver an experience worthy of the investment — takes more research than booking a standard campsite. Here is what to look for.
Why Tiffin Owners Need to Research Resorts More Carefully
Tiffin coaches, particularly the Allegro Bus and Phaeton models, can run 40-45 feet in length with multiple slideouts fully extended. Many campgrounds that advertise pull-through sites are designed for 30-35 foot trailers or smaller Class C coaches. Arriving in a 45-foot diesel pusher to discover sites that cannot fully accommodate your slideouts is a frustrating and costly mistake.
Key Measurements to Know Before You Book
Know your rig’s dimensions before researching any resort. You need: total length with toad (if applicable), total width with all slideouts extended, clearance height for any covered areas, and the distance from the hitch to rear axle for pull-through site selection. Contact resort staff directly with these measurements — do not rely solely on site descriptions online, which are frequently outdated or inaccurate.
Electrical Service Requirements for Tiffin Coaches
Full-size Tiffin motorhomes require 50 amp service to run all systems simultaneously. Most resorts offer 50 amp at premium sites, but verify this when booking. Also ask about the age and quality of the electrical infrastructure — older parks with deteriorating pedestals can deliver inconsistent voltage that triggers your surge protector repeatedly. A quality surge protector is non-negotiable for any large coach at an unfamiliar resort.
Amenities That Matter Most to Tiffin Owners
Tiffin owners tend to travel in coaches with residential-grade interiors, which changes what on-site amenities matter most:
- High-speed internet: Large coaches often serve as home offices or entertainment centers. Site-level ethernet or strong wifi becomes more important than at a basic campsite.
- Paved roads and sites: Wide, paved roads that can handle diesel pushers without soft shoulder issues. Tight turns in gravel lots are a real concern for long coaches.
- Full hookups with sewer: Extended stays in a residential-quality coach make full hookups non-negotiable.
- Security: Higher-value rigs attract more attention. Gated access and security cameras matter more when your coach is worth ,000+.
Tiffin-Friendly Resorts: What to Look For in Reviews
When reading resort reviews, filter for those written by Class A motorhome owners specifically. RV park reviews from tent campers or popup trailer owners will not tell you anything useful about whether the site works for a 42-foot diesel pusher. Look for mentions of pull-through length, road quality, leveling challenges, and whether large coaches had trouble maneuvering in the park.
Booking Directly vs Using Reservation Platforms
For large coach owners, calling the resort directly is almost always worth the extra step. A live conversation lets you confirm your specific site dimensions, get the current electrical infrastructure status, ask about any road construction or site changes, and request a site that has worked well for similar-sized coaches. Reservation platforms are convenient but cannot replicate this level of site-specific assurance.
