Tiffin's New Class B

The Cahaba has landed...
I'm not done digesting the meat and potatoes in the announcement; but it sure looks promising

Is this a rebranded Thor model or a true Tiffin design?

From what I've seen: it appears to be pure Tiffin.
But I need to familiarize myself with the Thor B's: before stating it as a fact...

It appears everything is run off of electricity that is stored in the system. The coach comes with dual alternators. The Tiffin rep said they tested the battery storage running the air conditioner and it kept running for about 12 hours.

Interesting arrangement plus it is a 4x4 off road unit. They did not quote an asking price in the video.

I hope that Chance sees this...
Even if he doesn't like diesels: this one seems promising...

Very nice in many ways but not close to what I’d want.

You’re correct that I wouldn’t buy a diesel unless there is a breakthrough in technology. Benefits are not worth potential issues.

I really like the all-electric Volta design, which eliminates costly and heavy diesel generator; or else a propane generator that use too much propane.

Interesting that a Thor product has gone to Volta. Maybe Tiffin does operate more independently than I thought. Think BIG dollars.

I don’t “need” 4X4 since I’m not going to camp in the desert, although it would be nice to drive on a beach.

I don’t care for floorplan at all except rear looks open if lounging by day. Bed is a non starter. Bath looks tight. Fridge is too small and too low for us. I do like the microwave up higher instead of under counter, but may be too high for my wife.

Looks really nice and well built on video, but not very practical design for our needs.

Looks like $205k retail
So if you’re lucky you can snag one for $180k

Looks like a quality RV and nice except for the cheap bug screens for the side and rear doors; Airstream has a much better solution. And no exhaust fan for the shower/bathroom.

That is a lot of money for not a lot of RV. I would buy and Airstream.

Was the slide out the entire time or did he not put the slide out? I was waiting to see it go from Tiny Small to Small; but couldn't tell

I do agree that I would pick this over the Cahaba given that I had to pick a Class B and one of the two.

For all the trouble I could just throw my tent, portie pottie and potable shower in the SUV and do just fine. My brother has Class B Sprinter; but they stay in Hotels on all of their trips He has one of those super loud propane genset so he never runs it when he is entertaining
