TIFFIN MOTORHOMES
Towing Hitch
On the rear of the Allegro can be found a 5,000-pound towing hitch (Figure 9-1) capable of
handling a tongue weight of 250 pounds. This hitch is installed for towing a passenger car
to be used when the vehicle is parked. The wire connector installed with this hitch is a
standard, seven-pin connector. For more information on the connector, please see
Chapter 7 of this Owner's Manual.
Exterior Sides
The sides (Figure 9-2) of your Allegro are constructed of gel-coated fiberglass. To add to this feature, the end caps are
also gel-coated fiberglass. To clean these fiberglass surfaces, only use warm water and a mild cleanser; gently wash with

Security Lights
On the Allegro, exterior security lights (Figure 9-3) are standard features. A light is
installed on the passenger side of the coach to help light that side of the Allegro for
added protection.
This light can serve as a "porch light" when the motor home is parked and the awning is
deployed so that various activities (e.g., sitting outside, grilling, visiting) at dusk and later can
be enjoyed by the motor-home owners and their guests.

soft cloths. Use of stiff bristle brushes or other harsh abrasives may cause
scratches in the fiberglass surfaces. Please note: Tiffin Motorhomes is NOT
responsible for the weathering and/or oxidation of gel-coated surfaces.
Spacious storage compartments are located on the exterior sides of your
Allegro. These external compartments provide ample, additional space
for your belongings while you are traveling. When stowing materials in these
storage compartments, try to "balance" the resultant weight load from front
to rear and from side to side—this will keep the center of gravity of the motor
home essentially unchanged and should not adversely affect the handling
characteristics of the motor home when it is in motion.
Roof & Ladder
The Allegro is manufactured with a rubber (optional: fiberglass) roof. Proper care 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, a roof 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 and periodic inspections.
The ladder (Figure 9-4) is hinged so that its lower half can be folded up onto the upper half
when the motor home is in transit.
When folding up that ladder and securing it, be sure that the ball-lock pin is securely
fastened through the locking device to secure the ladder in transit.
