2022 TIFFIN ALLEGRO OPEN ROAD Complaints

The contact owns a 2022 Tiffin Allegro Open Road RV. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH on the interstate, all four of the RV sliders detached. The RV was taken to a dealer where the front sliders were repaired; however, the rear sliders were not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000. The VIN was not available.

Front Suspension bump stops are missing. This prevents suspension compression up to a safe amount.

The living compartments/slides, surge out on their own, at any time, parked or while moving. Unknown how far the slides may surge out, but I've talked to one owner, who said his slide came out 8 inches. Mine has come out about 4 inches, while parked and 2+ inches, while traveling/in-motion. A wiring harness, from the engine compartment is routed over the catalytic-converter, without a heatshield. Mine has been inspected and has this problem. One owner had his wiring catch fire and had to be towed off the highway. My unit lost power, on a warm day. I was driving up some small grades, on Hwy 101, along the CA coast and my engine produced only enough power to get me up to 43 mph, at an elevation of 600 ft. I took my RV to a Ford dealer, who told me that the sparkplug wires were in too weak and that they overheat, causing misfiring and a loss of power. This was unexpected and had I been traveling in the high speed lane, as I often do, with the sudden loss of power, it could have caused a pile up / rear-end collision, because it was almost like slamming on my brakes!

The contact owns a 2022 Tiffin RV built on a 2020 Ford F-53 Chassis. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the driver's side living room slide out inadvertently extended to 2-3 inches. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving and while the RV was parked. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they would send new arms or hydraulic pistons for the RV repair. The RV was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 1,500. Consumer stated Tiffin Motorhomes will be sending new Rams. The defective rams are allowing/causing the large slide to surge out while driving, or parking.

The Lippert front Slide system allows the "slide out" to come out all on it's own. This action allows the "slide out" to come 6-7 inches out away from the body of the motorhome. This is a major safety problem when this occurs while the motorhome is traveling down the highway. I'm aware of at least 50 other owners of 2021/2022 Tiffin Open Road that are experiencing this issue. I have not had the problem confirmed by a dealer since the closest dealer to me is over 300 miles away and it's not safe to drive it with the "slide out" coming out on it's own. There was no warning or any indication that this was going to happen other then other owners of the same motorhome informing me to be on the lookout for this to happen. When I put my motorhome into winter storage last nov, 1st 2021 there were no issues. When I went to take it out of storage last week, the problem was there. I retract the "slide out" and within a day or two, it creeps back out on it's own.

Both the passenger side and drivers side "Slide" creep out about 3" to 6". This happens when RV is parked as well as traveling. On our way back from Hilton Head Island, SC to Williamsburg, VA I had to stop 4 times to pull the slides back in. they creeped out at least 6"! I have taken our Tiffin to the selling dealer several times so they can repair this issue. I am told that both Tiffin and Lippert (who makes the hydraulic system) are aware of the issue but there is not fix at this time. Our selling dealer has replaced (under warranty) the hydraulic pump, the solenoid valves, and hydraulic rams but issue is still present.

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.
