2022 TIFFIN ALLEGRO Complaints

The 2022 Open Road RV has hydraulic slides and jacks manufactured by Lippert (owned by LCI). Since taking delivery of the RV in August 2021 we have had issues with the hydraulic slide "creeping out". This means that when the slide is closed, it should stay closed until you extend it. The slide extends on its own - even while driving down the highway. We are at the Tiffin RV Service Center to have the problem resolved. I was told by the Tiffin technician that there is currently no fix for the problem and that the Lippert engineers are working on it. I called Lippert customer service and they gave me a case number and told me to have the service technician call them. They offered no solution to the problem. The slides opening on their own while driving down the road is hazardous to us and other vehicles on the road.

Several times over the last 10 months (since I’ve owned this), the drivers side slide creeps out on its own, pushing and bending the drivers seat. This is a common problem on most 2022 Ans some 2021 RVs withe the lippert hydraulic system.

THE LIPPERT HYDRAULIC SLIDES ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL OPEN WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND/OR EXPRESSWAY. WE HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AND NUMBERIOUS TIMES AT TIFFIN MOTOR HOMES IN RED BAY, ALABAMA AND NORTH TRAIL RV IN FORT MEYERES, FLORIDA. ALSO LIPPERT COMPONENTS , CHRISTOPHER PONTIUS AT LIPPERT HAS REVIEW MY CASE # 308-5947. WE BOUGHT OUR RV IN OCTOBER OF 2021 THEY HAVE NOT COME UP WITH A FIX AS OF YET. IN A BLOG THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN WHICH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND LEAD TO DEATH WHILE TRAVELING.

The Lippert slides which are normally expanded for use when the vehicle is parked for camping and then retracted when driving, move out and expand on their own while the motorhome is being driven down the road and when it is just parked in storage. Our motorhome has been in the Tiffin repair shop to address the defective slide in February. We were told it was repaired and the issue continued after coming to pick up the vehicle on March 20 with the slide expanding outward about 6 inches in just a few hours. This presents a safety issue when the vehicle is driven as the slide will expand on its own with the driver having no way to control the expansion and keep the slide from moving outward on its own. Our greatest concern is for the safety of the motorhome passengers with unstable parts and the cars/vehicles in the lanes next to the motorhome when the slides expand randomly while traveling. There is no warning light and no way to know how far the slide may expand. We have read 100s of posts online from owners of 2022 Tiffin motorhomes who have the same issue and have yet to be given a permanent solution to the slides expanding on their own. Lippert needs to provide a permanent and safe solution to the defective slides for the safety of all considered. The attached pictures include before and after pictures to show how much the slide moved in just a couple of hours while parked.
