During the visit, Tiffin introduced the 40 IH Phaeton, one of the brand’s top-selling diesel pushers. Built on a Freightliner chassis with a powerful 295-horsepower engine, the Phaeton is known for its luxury, durability, and performance. "It has been our number one selling motorhome for many years," Tiffin said, emphasizing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that sets his RVs apart.
For decades, Tiffin Motorhomes has been synonymous with quality and family values. The company, headquartered in Red Bay, Alabama, proudly puts its name on every motorhome they build. "We were never ashamed to put our name on it, and we still do," Tiffin explained. He also highlighted their customer service, noting that real people—like himself or his son Wayne—answer over 1,500 calls a day at their headquarters.
Beyond the vehicles themselves, Tiffin Motorhomes prides itself on an extensive service network. Their Red Bay facility can service thousands of RVs each year, ensuring that every motorhome remains road-ready. "Sometimes we’ll have 60 or 70 motorhomes come in a week, and we make sure they’re back on the road quickly," he said.
The passion, craftsmanship, and dedication to customer care are evident in every Tiffin motorhome. If you're considering the RV lifestyle, a visit to Mike Thompson RV on Highway 111 in Cathedral City is a must.
