TIFFIN MOTORHOMES
Windows
The windows on the Allegro are of the sliding type. Double-pane windows are
available as an option to provide additional thermal control (i.e., insulation) to
maintain interior temperatures better. In the double-pane windows, a "dead air"
space (filled with a dry, inert gas) is sealed between two panes of glass—this
"dead air" space provides additional thermal insulation for the windows and
prevents them from fogging internally. Additionally, there may be a reflective
coating on the windows to reflect back a portion of the sunlight to reduce the
heating of the motor-home interior and to reduce the effects of the sun's
"bleaching" of interior fabrics (curtains, upholstery).
For both the driver's and passenger's windows (Figure 12-1), additional sun shades are available to permit blockage of
the sun's rays which may interfere with driving. These shades can be deployed, as needed, and then moved out of the
way when no longer desired.

Awnings
The power patio awning (Figure 12-3) is standard on the Allegro. The
power patio awning is extremely durable
and can be operated during light rain and wind conditions. However,
when periods of heavy rain, or wind is expected; or you leave the awning
unattended the awning should be closed. Please note that damage
caused by wind and rain is not covered by warranty. To operate the
awning follow the instructions listed below.
To open the awning:
1. Rocker Remote Switch
A. Press and hold the "Extend" button and the awning will automatically open. If the button is released the awning will
stop. Maintain button depressed until awning is fully extended then release.
B. Verify that the valance is in the correct orientation (see awning instructions found in Owner's Information Package,
page 2 Figure 1). Tap the rocker switch in the "Retract" direction to adjust the valance orientation if necessary. Allowing
the valance to remain in the hyperextended orientation may create a propensity to pool water, especially in larger (17'-
21') awnings.

In the bedroom, one particular window will be marked with an "EXIT" label (Figure12-2)—
this is an emergency escape only to be used when normal exits are blocked or inaccessible.
To use this emergency escape, merely lift the red handles at the bottom of the window and
push outwards 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 is sustained 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 from its normal,
intended operation, should such become necessary.
