What is most helpful when you’re considering – or at least dreaming
about – a new Tiffin motorhome?
Maybe it’s the model brochures and the Tiffin website, where you can
study GVWR, torque, TVs, basement space, warranties, interior amenities,
color schemes and so much more.
Maybe it’s tire-kicking and jawing with a sales rep at a Tiffin dealership
or an RV show.
Maybe it’s easing into the labyrinth of the internet, googling for technical
reports from government agencies, checking out fuel economy, recalls and
other effective gauges of product soundness.
Maybe it’s thumbing through RV magazines to scan ads, test reports, and
in the process, learn of idyllic places to visit in your Tiffin motorhome.
The more we thought about all those approaches to evaluating motorhomes,
the more we were convinced that another “tool” is more popular and, in
most cases, more effective. That’s the couple at the campsite next to yours,
or at least some folks who made similar purchase decisions recently. This is
not a bad thing like copying somebody else’s homework. It’s finding a well
informed, relevant source.
With all this thinking, we introduce in this issue of Side Roads a new
feature. We hope you will find it sufficiently inviting for us to make it a
regular.
On pages 8 and 9, you’ll meet Rich and Pat Yasco along with Allen and
Gwen Main. They will tell you how they like their 2007 34TGA Allegro
front-engine diesels. We think we have figured out the criteria most helpful
to you. If we’ve missed something important, please let us know.
In a broader sense, please give us some feedback on these home-grown test
reports. We want every page of Side Roads to be valuable to you.
Also in this issue, I call your attention to the rally schedule. We have added
a couple of rallies in recent weeks: the Fall Gulf Getaway in Gulf Shores,
AL, Oct. 1-5 and the Florida Fall Festival in Seffner, FL, Nov. 5-9. If you
haven’t joined us for a rally yet, you might want to give the schedule and
applications an even closer look.
You will also find a different type of treat from an old friend and Allegro
Club member. Bob Poiry, the notorious Yankee Doodler cartoonist from
the Black Swamp Allegros in Toledo, OH, puts down his drawing pen
long enough to demonstrate that he can write, too. His column debuts on
page 6.
I’ve been collecting and assessing feedback on our recent rallies and plan
to share some observations with you in the September issue of Side Roads. If
you have any additional thoughts about our rallies, please let me know.

Tiffin boosts production near capacity
Melvin Dotson hates to go slow, so it didn’t bother
him a bit when Tiffin Motorhomes increased its
production to 13 units a day in late February.
Dotson came to Tiff in as a parts shipper
in 1976, started the parts department, then
launched the doors shop eight years later. He
still manages that 26-person operation.
The stepped-up production
to 3,250 coaches a year
w i l l b r i n g t he Cl a s s A
motorhome manufacturer
in Red Bay, AL, within
striking distance of a realistic
optimum production for
the current plant – 4,000
Allegros, Allegro Bays,
Phaetons, Allegro Buses
and Zephyrs, according
to General Manager Tim
Tiff in. One immutable factor
Tim Tiffin
blocks greater expansion,
Tiffin explains: Quality control.
“Our Number 1 concern is that we maintain
quality standards,” Tiffin says. “We would not go up
unless we were convinced of that.”
For customers, the production increase is
expected to decrease lead times for orders. With
current demand, 8-10 weeks pass between order
and delivery for diesel pushers. For the frontengine models, the lead time is now 4-6 weeks.
Just last July, Tiff in reported to its dealers
that production had held steady at eleven for
six months, even with a number of competitors
cutting production and offering incentives as fuel
prices rose. The Tiff in plant went to twelve units
a day last October before the latest increase.
“A key to success for us was the development
of separate gas and diesel production lines,” Tim
Tiffin adds. “We are currently building 60% diesel
pushers, 10% front-engine diesels and 30% gas
units a day. The gas market is coming back.”
In 2006, Tiff in introduced front-engine diesel
Allegro Bays on a new Freightliner chassis. For
the 2007 model year, Tiff in added the FRED
option to its moderately priced Allegro line in
addition to the Allegro Bay. Both FRED models
were immediate successes throughout Tiffin’s
100 dealerships in the U.S. and Canada.
For the jump to 13 units a day, Tiffin added
about 20 production jobs, bringing the total to
just over 900.
For Dotson in the door shop, the production increase
enabled him to add some help, but with additional
staff came additional training needs. The door shop
builds all the basement and entry doors on the diesel
pushers and the gasser basement doors.
“It’s not that hard to pick up production and
our people have handled it real well,” Dotson
says. “Your job gets simplif ied because your job
description gets narrowed. Each worker can’t do
as big a variety of jobs. When production slows,
it gets harder.”
From left, Chris Stanphill, Newman Mattox and
Melvin Dotson inspect their work in the Tiffin door shop.
“We’re building the best door we have ever had,”
Dotson says with pride. “They are stronger and
they shut better. We never had door delamination
problems. They just don’t come apart.”
Dotson has little turnover, typically losing
workers to retirement.
“This becomes family,” he says.

Roadside recipes
by Gail Johnson
Wherever you may live in this wonderful land of ours, we are sure you are ready, as we are in northwest Alabama, to welcome
summer.
After enduring the coldest Easter on record in our area, we are more than ready to look forward to warm sunny days and balmy
summer nights. In keeping with those thoughts, our recipes this issue will be appropriate for light summer suppers or for delicious
meals or snacks on the road as you travel in your Tiffin motorhome.
Let us know how you like them, and happy travels.
Tomato Pie with Basil
This recipe was a big hit at the Stone Mountain Rally. I used leftover tomato slices from a cookout. It will be even better when the tomatoes
are from summer gardens.
Ingredients:
1 9-inch frozen unbaked deep-dish pie crust
3 tablespoons snipped fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried basil
3 or 4 medium tomatoes, sliced, drained and patted dry
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup mayonnaise
8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1/3 cup crushed rich round crackers
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Thaw frozen crust for 10 minutes at room temperature. Arrange some of the tomato slices to
form a single layer. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with half of the bacon and basil. Repeat with another layer,
using ingredients in the same order. Combine cheese and mayonnaise; spread over the top of pie. Sprinkle with crushed
crackers. Bake for 30 minutes or until crumbs begin to brown. If using convection microwave, bake on the convection
setting at 350 degrees and start checking after 20 minutes of cooking time.
Cheese Bites
This is a tasty and quick little appetizer that would be great to take to a party or to serve with a Mexican meal. If you like it hot, use a few
more chilies!
Ingredients:
3 eggs
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons plain flour
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup milk
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chilies
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Beat eggs; add f lour, milk, and salt and beat. Pour in chilies and cheese. Bake in a well-greased 9” x 13” pan for about 30
minutes in a pre-heated 350 degree oven. It is done when the edges begin to turn brown. For convection cooking, decrease
cooking time and check after about 20 minutes. Note: when serving, use a metal spatula to carefully remove from pan.
The squares will tend to stick, especially around the edges.
Strawberry Marshmallow Salad
This refreshing fruit salad would be a great accompaniment to a summer meal. Shared by Michelle Tiffin.
Ingredients:
1 package mini marshmallows
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup boiling water
2 packages frozen strawberries, thawed
1 large can crushed pineapple, drained
1 large package cherry gelatin
Instructions:
Melt marshmallows in the boiling water. Add gelatin and mix well. Add all fruit. Pour into an oblong dish and refrigerate
for several hours before serving.

Ingredients:
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
3 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup chopped bacon
Instructions:
Brown chicken breasts lightly. Transfer to greased 13” x 9” pan. Brush with teriyaki sauce; spoon on salad dressing. Sprinkle with
cheese, onions, and bacon. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes.
Shoe Peg Corn Cassesrole
This is a family favorite at Johnson family gatherings. It’s a great (but not low-cal) way to get your veggies.
Ingredients:
1 can French-style green beans
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cans shoe peg corn
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 can cream of celery or mushroom soup
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1/2 stick butter, melted
butter-flavored crackers, crushed
Instructions:
Drain and mix beans and corn together; place in casserole dish. Mix soup, sour cream, cheese, and onions. Spread over vegetable
mixture. Top with crushed crackers and almonds. Pour melted butter over all and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 to 45
minutes.
Butterscotch Cheesecake Bars
A rich and delicious dessert; perfect with a cup of coffee after dinner or for a snack.
Ingredients:
1 12-ounce package butterscotch morsels
1 8-ounce package cream cheese
1/3 cup butter or oleo
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts
1 egg
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (325 for glass pans). Melt morsels and butter in sauce pan or in microwave. Stir in crumbs and nuts.
Press half of mixture firmly onto bottom of greased 13 x 9 inch pan. In large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy;
beat in milk, vanilla, and egg. Mix well. Pour into prepared pan; top with remaining crumb mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or
until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Reduce baking time for convection microwave. Cool completely, or chill, before
cutting into bars. Refrigerate leftovers.

A ‘pavement princess’ may one day tow Pee-Wee
by Bob Poiry
Well you see, we bought
a four-month-old Allegro
in early 2000. It was the
biggest thing on wheels
we had ever been in.
Well, other than that
Greyhound I took to boot
camp in ’59.
When the salesman took
us for a ride in it, Carol whispered
those four little words every man
wants to hear from his lady at a time like this. “Let’s
git it.” Even though the little fella was only 31 ft.
long, it seemed awfully big to us. Then we joined
the Black Swamp Allegros Chapter 140, based out
of Toledo, Ohio. We wanted to learn all about this
motor homin’ thing from some RV veterans. We
knew nothing.
Belonging to the chapter has been better than
taking a four-year college course on RVing. The
exchange of ideas and experiences is what it’s all
about, not to mention the new family we adopted.
Our “little fella” seemed to fit right in at the time.
But as Bob and the boys down in Red Bay kept
turning out bigger and fancier rigs for folks to buy,
these magnificent highway machines have spread
their elegance all the way across the nation. Not only
are they getting longer, they’re getting taller. Since
Carol and I still have that same cute little fella, we
try to pull alongside a different one at each campout,
thus sharing the shade, so to speak.
Our little guy didn’t come with jacks, slide-outs,
back-up cameras or huge storage compartments. It’s a
low profile one, just under 11 feet tall. We’ve noticed
that when we’re caravanning to a rally (which we
love to do) or other destination, we can follow close
to one of those great old big ’uns and get better gas
mileage. If we can handle the turbulence, that is.
This practice is not encouraged by an inexperienced
gas miser. It’s so light on its wheels that it’ll still burn
rubber at a light. Going up mountains is a piece of
cake. We like to refer to it as a minivan on steroids.
You can even climb on our roof and not worry about
having a fear of height.
We’ve had folks in our chapter who have swapped
up three times in a couple of years because the old
one is due for a scheduled oil change (just kidding).
For our June campout a couple of years ago, we
pulled into the County Fairgrounds in Urbana,
Ohio. Bob Montgomery, our current president, and
his wife Darlene had arranged sites for all of us at
the campgrounds there. As we were about to park, we
saw this HUGE beautiful full-body painted rig with
awesome graphics sitting nearby. I thought it might
belong to a famous star like Ricky Skaggs. Turns out
this pavement princess belonged to none other than
Ralph and Ethel Mae Vogtsberger, retired farmers
who belong to our chapter.
One of these days maybe you’ll even see us cruising
down the highway in one of those turnpike head-turners.
If you do, look behind us. You just might see us towing
Pee-Wee. In the meantime, however, we’re satisfied
with the little fella. When asked if we’re ever going
to swap him in for a bigger one, our answer is “NO”
(well, at least for now). But if I hear Carol whisper
“Let’s git it” again, I’m ready to change my tune.
The Yankee Doodler Cartoonist Bob Poiry
Close readers of Side Roads know him as the Yankee
Doodler, our cartoonist from the first issue on. Members of
the Black Swamp Allegros never know what next will spring
from his creative mind at chapter campouts.
In this issue, bowing to intense pressure from the Allegro
Club president and the Side Roads editor, Poiry puts his
humorous view of the RV world into words as well as
cartoons. Fans of outdoors writer Patrick F. McManus may
see some style similarity.
Bob and Carol Poiry live outside Toledo, where he retired
as a homicide detective. When Bob isn’t drawing or writing or
tooling around in the Allegro, he’s probably playing his banjo
or riding his snowmobile or watching people for future Side
Roads contributions.

What the owners say: Testing the 2007 Allegro
our
Reviewers
R ich and Pat Yacso
live in Parrish, FL, with
Rugby, 3, standard poodle;
Kenzie, 10, Welsh terrier;
and Skeeter, 2, Airedale
terrier. The Yacsos have
been RVing since they
moved to Florida eight
years ago. Their Bay is
their third RV. They do a
lot of boondocking, state
and federal park camping,
and traveling on dog show
circuits, so they were looking for something under 35
feet. They have had their 34 TGA four months.

turning
radius, road
handling
and
stability
The first thing we noticed about this unit was how
well the FRED chassis handled and how tightly it
turns. The 55-degree wheel cut is awesome. It’s like
driving a big station wagon. The driving stability is
wonderful. We have gone down two lane country roads
at 55-60 mph and had oncoming semis pass us and
hardly even noticed they were there. No more white
knuckles on the wheel. This unit handles exceptionally
well around town and on the highway.
Power/torque
On the highway is where this coach really shines.
The unit has plenty of power to enter the freeway and
pass and enough torque to pull away from red lights
quite smartly. When we travel, usually fully loaded
and at 65 mph, we hardly hear the engine work. We
are getting 10.5 to 11 mpg on a brand new engine.
Learning curve
electronics and
for
maintenance,
other features
It’s easy to drive, and very driver friendly – not a lot
of systems and gadgets to worry about.
Noise
level (both
parked
and
moving)
It’s not a pusher but it’s much quieter than our
previous diesel puller and quieter than most big
block gas engines.
8 SIDE ROADS
efficiency of
heating
and
cooling systems
It’s well-insulated from both weather and noise. We
really like the dual heating/cooling systems so we can
keep the bedroom cool and the salon area warm at
night. We also like the ducted AC system that makes
for a much cleaner ceiling.
spaciousness
of
living
room
We have looked at dozens of floor plans and haven’t
found anything we like nearly as much as this one,
even in coaches costing 2 or 3 times this unit’s price.
The living room is over 10 ft. wide with the slides out
and that’s a lot of room. The living room is actually
big enough to dance in and the dogs to play in.
Attractiveness
of interior
decoration
It’s a beautiful and well-appointed unit. We
have the cherry bark interior.
Workability
of
galley
Pat, a gourmet cook, says the kitchen is large enough
to prepare the occasional candlelight dinner. We cook
at least two meals a day in the coach when we are
traveling. The counter space is adequate but Pat would
have liked a recessed stovetop and an inset over the
stove to add another 4 or 5 sq. ft. of counter space.
comfort and
usability
of
bathroom
The bathroom is really nice. The shower is large
and out of view even with the divider doors open.
The separate commode and sink is a very nice
feature. We would like a larger freshwater tank.
Livability
of
bedroom
We like the good storage with both closet and
drawers under the bed, usable even when making a
quick stop at a rest area when you can’t/don’t want to
put the slide out. Extremely livable. We would like a
generator on/off switch in the bedroom.
34 TGA FRED
our
Reviewers
Allen and Gwen
M a i n l i ve i n
Mission, TX. They
have owned 11
RVs, including six
motorhomes. The
last three were
made by Tiffin.
This report covers
a 500-mile trip
from North Texas to the Rio Grande Valley towing
a SUV that weighs almost 5,000 lbs. The Mains
purchased their 34 TGA last October. They say
they are very satisfied with the motorhome and
expect to have it for a number of years.

turning
radius, road
handling
and
stability
We found the ride very stable and the increased
turning radius when entering and leaving a
service station and parking very helpful.
Power/torque
We really appreciate the power of the Cummins 300hp diesel coupled with the smoothness of the Allison
5-speed transmission, We started the trip with a full
tank of fuel and we filled the tank as full as possible
at the end of the trip. Our fuel mileage, with a brisk
headwind and pulling our SUV, was 9.5 mpg.
Learning curve
electronics and
for
maintenance,
other features
We’re enjoying the ease of operation of the radio
compared to our previous units and the fact that we
have a CD player as well as a DVD player now.
Noise
level (both
parked
and
moving)
When we purchased the FRED we had some
concerns whether the noise level of the front-end
diesel would be excessive. We found the noise level
when idling was noticeable but not excessive, however,
when driving it was nearly as quiet as the last
Allegro, which had the Workhorse chassis and was
considerable less than our first Allegro, which had a
Ford V10 chassis. The engine noise level while driving
is low enough that we can listen to our radio.
efficiency of
heating
and
cooling systems
We especially like the completely ducted cooling
system and the absence of the usual grates below the
air conditioners. We haven’t used the heating system,
due to warm weather.
spaciousness
of
living room
The double living room slideouts make for a
very spacious living area.
Attractiveness
of interior
decoration
Everyone who walks into our unit has commented on
how very attractive the decor is. We especially like the
design on the cornices over the day and night shades.
We like the buffet alongside the table, as well.
Workability
of
galley
The galley is very spacious with lots of counter space.
The combination of a microwave and convection oven
is a plus.
“We really appreciate the
power of the Cummins
300-hp diesel coupled
with the smoothness of
the Allison 5-speed
transmission”.
comfort and
usability
of
bathroom
We really enjoy having two lavatories, one by
the shower and the other in the toilet area. Very
convenient.
Livability
of
bedroom
The single slideout in the bedroom provides ample
room with plenty of closet and storage space.

supervisor for KGO-TV in San Francisco, convinced the club’s 22
members to store their photos, meeting minutes, hints, tips and other
data on a password-protected website and CDs.
It was an easy sell.
“There wasn’t any opposition,” Herring says. “They all saw the benefits, thought
it was great and said let’s go. “
Why a website and CDs? While almost all chapter members have web access, several
have relatively slow dial-up access, which makes downloading large files frustratingly
time consuming.
The website and CDs, approaching a year in operation, have had a very positive impact
on the chapter treasury. Chapter Historian Rhonda Little no longer makes costly prints of
photos from campouts and other activities.
A key factor in the website development was an offer from the Tiffin RV Network to host
the 10-year-old chapter’s site for $100 per year.
Herring says the website is “member driven.” Content includes a membership directory,
campout schedule with maps, meeting minutes, scrapbook pages from chapter events and
RV care information, like holding tank maintenance..
Herring and his wife Marilyn live in Fairfield, CA, and drive a 2004 Phaeton GH.
What advice does he have for other Allegro Club chapters? “The website and
CD are something to look at if you have someone who is technically oriented,”
Herring says. “You can significantly cut mailing costs and make distribution of
information much easier.”
Herring says he is “more than willing” to help other chapters
through the technical processes. “Why not?” he adds with a laugh.

Chapter Chatter: Next time you pass this way
Campgrounds
The Lone Star Allegro Club of Houston
describes Rayford Crossing RV Resort
as “certainly a fine example of the good
life” following a lovely newsletter tale about
simplicity, solitude and the appreciation
of natural beauty. Outside Houston near
The Woodlands Waterway/Market Street
Concert area, this resort is new and modern
with very clean facilities, concrete streets
and sites, wi-fi, free cable and beautiful
landscaping.
Like goats? The Space Coast Allegros of
Melbourne, FL, can tell you where to find
them. Visit Oklawaha RV Resort in Fort
McCoy, FL. A herd of goats will visit your
campsite. Better hurry, though: The chapter
learned that this favored campground is
selling lots and installing park models, so
campers may be squeezed out at some
point.
The Lone Star Allegro Club of Houston
likes the rich history of the Coushatte
Recreation Ranch in Bellville, TX. Owned
by the Nelius family since 1877, until 1973
the property was used for cotton, cattle and
chickens. Now it’s 225 acres of trees, nature
trails, a pond, a fishing creek, antique cars
and farm equipment. Hayrides are available.
The 200 RV sites have full hookups and the
ranch offers seven halls with full kitchens.
The Sun Coast Allegros of Tampa found
a pleasant surprise in their own back yard:
Rally Park, the campground in Seffner
related to Lazy Days RV Center, a Tiffin
dealership. At Rally Park, a free newspaper
is delivered to your site. Other amenities at
the well-maintained park include breakfast
and lunch, 50-amp service, cable, pool, wi-fi
and a recreation hall.
The Sun Coast gang also recommends
Tropical Palms RV Resort in Kissimmee,
FL, which is conveniently close to major
attractions and features limited cable TV,
pool, shuffleboard, a recreation hall (for
rent), poolside restaurant, 50-amp sites and
cottages.
chapter picked a park with that name? The
park has a pool, laundry, cable, 50-amp
service and a small rec hall. Sites are shaded
and grassy, but some are tight.
The Lucky 7 Allegros from Las Vegas
visited the Oasis RV Resort on the southern
end of Las Vegas. The chapter reports the
resort is secure, sparkling clean, has nice
sites and clean private individual showers
and bathrooms, plus a convenience store,
café, dog areas and an adjacent dog park.
Groceries and fancy coffee shop are nearby.
The chapter cautions that this resort is
often full in January-April snowbird season,
during NASCAR® events and rodeo season
(early December).
The Lakes RV and Golf Course
caught the eye of the California Allegro
Roadrunners for an April campout. The
resort is in Chowchilla and is a top-rated
facility with 87 campsites, man-made lake,
heated pool and spa. The clubhouse is close
to campsites, too.
Restaurants
A bundled-up Kay Alexander of Cullman,
AL, enjoys the dixieland trio at the Allegro
Club rally in Stone Mountain, GA.
A third recommendation from the Sun
Coast chapter is no surprise: Suncoast RV
Resort in Port Richey. Wonder how the
We’ve heard that Las Vegas may have one
or two moderately priced, food-laden buffets.
The Lucky 7 Allegros who call that area
home recommend the South Coast buffet
with stations offering salad, soup, seafood,
Asian, barbecue, Italian, American and
dessert selections at a good price. The chapter
also enjoyed the breakfast and lunch fare at
the Oasis RV Resort where the campout
was held. Attentive, friendly servers for
basic fare.
Dinner shows caught the eye of Sun
Coast Allegro members while at a campout
in Kissimmee, FL. One contingent went

Capone’s. Both reported enjoyable evenings
at $23 and up.
The Sun Coast Allegros also recommend
Hellas in Tarpon Springs, FL. Hellas has
indoor and outdoor casual dining with
Greek décor and such entrees (averaging $12)
as spinach pie, cheese pie, Greek spaghetti,
gyros, moussaka, kabobs, squid, plus Greek
and French pastry. Burgers and chicken
fingers serve less adventuresome palates.
Corky Bells is a new restaurant in Titusville,
FL, and the Space Coast Allegros like it. “It
was extra good after a lengthy wait.”
Florida Aquarium, open air shopping at
Tampa’s Franklin Street Mall, the Sunken
Gardens and Museum of History in St.
Petersburg and the Seminole Casino.
Chapter-to-Chapter
The Sun Coast Allegros offer an equally
impressive list for Central Florida, where they
camped in Kissimmee at Tropical Palms RV
Resort: Disney World, Universal Studios,
Sea World, Cypress Gardens, water parks
and Old Town. Some chapters have it easier
than others.
Destination attractions
A free shuttle from the Oasis RV Resort
in Las Vegas takes RVers to the South Point
Resort for dining, gaming, scheduled shows
and a full-service spa, according to the Lucky
7 Allegros.
While camping at Rally Park in Seffner,
FL, the Sun Coast Allegros ticked off a list of
attractions within a 30-minute drive: Busch
Gardens, Lowry Park Zoo, the University of

tanks require a 90-degree funnel, which can
be fashioned from a quart-size plastic oil
container with some surgery on the narrow
side. The makeshift funnel ensures that the
bleach reaches the tank without spill, and the
follow-up baking soda removes the disagreeable odor and taste.
Another reason to plan your campouts far
in advance comes from the Puget Sound
Allegro Chapter. More and more RV parks
are requiring individual site deposits two
weeks to a month in advance.

Red Bay, AL 35582-1429
At a rally earlier this year, the First Coast
Allegros of Jacksonville, FL, added $109 to
the chapter treasury with an RV garage sale.
Two chapter members, Lloyd Powell and
Bill Hancock, led an information exchange
about DeLorme and Microsoft GPS systems.
The discussion was in the campground
clubhouse, but coordinates were not provided.
In what may be a related action, the chapter
has voted to destroy much of the mountain
of documents collected over 21 years of
paperwork without historical or IRS value.
Every chapter officer had passed material to
successors until that game was no longer fun.
The Puget Sound Allegro Chapter can now
be found at www.pugetsoundallegro.com
joining several other chapters in the internet
revolution. The site offers the latest information
on club outings and helps recruit additional
members. The chapter keeps more private
information off the site.

Catfish and shrimp for everybody
Celebrating the 35-year relationship
between Onan and Tiffin Motorhomes,
supplying generators since Tiffin’s start,
a management team from Cummins
Onan served a famous Swamp John’s
catfish and shrimp lunch to all Tiffin
employees April 10. From left, they
are Karl Wilson, Garry Enyort, Bill
Gibson, Jeff Michaels and Ray Scherer.
In three days, they fed more than a
thousand Tiffin workers.
Chapter chatter(Continued from Page 14)
While many chapters are engaged in
charitable projects, the Sun Coast Allegros
of Tampa donated toys to Toys for Tots;
blankets, food, towels and toys to the
animal shelter; school supplies for school
children from limited resource families;
and cash to an interim housing center for
women and children.
We should also mention the California
Allegro Roadrunners for their decision
to provide toys to the Ronald MacDonald
House Foundation in Palo Alto instead of
exchanging gifts among members.
Quirky Occurrences
Wooly Worm Workouts? Is that a video
sold on late-night TV? The Space Coast
Allegros of Melbourne, FL, plan a visit to
the famed Wooly Worm Festival in the
mountains of Western North Carolina this
October. Chapter members are rumored to
be “paying big bucks for Wooly Worms to
enter in the race.” Just where does one
find Wooly Worms in Central Florida?
Chapter Reporter Susan Humanes
also wonders if Wooly Worms will be
seen in training at the chapter’s next
campout, and whether they will have
names like Zephyr, Pusher, Fred, Bay,
Phaeton and Bus?
Sherrie and Bill Gattoni must have
wondered a bit as they set up their Allegro
Bus at their campsite for their first Lucky
7 Allegros rally. No Tiffin coaches in sight.
Turns out they were in the wrong RV club’s
nest. Wagonmaster Ed Bennett successfully
negotiated an exchange of prisoners, but
Sherrie and Bill missed some of the activities.
There’s a new sheriff in town, and he’s
vowing to clean things up. Joe Anderson has
been appointed sheriff of the Puget Sound
Allegro Chapter, the first male sheriff in a
decade for the chapter. In addition to busting
members for not wearing name tags (25-cent
fine), Sheriff Joe is threatening additional
fines for dirty motorhomes. Wonder if he
carries a pearl-handled spray gun in his holster?
“We felt like we had a rock star in our
midst,” reported the Sun Coast Allegros
of Tampa. At a campout at Rally Park in
Seffner, FL, they were browsing among Tiffin
coaches at Lazy Days RV Center when they
spotted Tiffin Motorhomes Founder and
CEO Bob Tiffin. Never one to disappoint
his fans – make that customers, Tiffin agreed
to pose for pictures with the chapter members.
“He was very gracious and very informative,”
Chapter Secretary Jeanie Lynch reports. “A
real treat for our club.”

Search turns up Phaetons everywhere
In the March issue, we sought the longest, most
impressive list of famous Phaetons, in honor of
Tiffin’s dashing diesel pusher. Little did we know
that DIA NE O’BRIEN of Morrow Bay, CA,
would treat this challenge like the quest for world
peace or the elimination of famine. Diane unearthed
more than 50 Phaetons, including the first crude
electric carriage designed and built in Holland in
1835 and the mythical planet between Mars and
Jupiter, described often in science fiction. Diane
