Someone sent me the step by step instructions. The chassis book I have is incorrect for my model. I was looking to reset the dash clock. It is resettable via a hidden menu. THANK EVERYONE.

Can anyone tell me how to set the clock on a 2011 Breeze? Have looked at every website I know and through every manual, document and the pdf file. Can't find a thing on it. Please help if you know. I am about to lose what little mind I have left.

I believe it is 777 not 77. It works great. I used it to glue down carpet that would not stay (corners). They stayed.

My 2011 Breeze 32 BR had a minor problem of pulling left slightly and diving down when stopping. Alignment didn't solve the problem. Check of brake system and suspension revealed no problems. Problem is not severe and is manageable when you are aware/prepared for it. Tifffin is currently working to find a fix.
HOWEVER, I had a Safety Plus installed today and NOT for hopes of correction of this problem. Previous RV I had a Steer Safe for help with blowouts and driver fatigue. Helped tremendously. 
I decided to install the Safety Plus for the same reasons. It also tightened up loose feeling steering today. MAN… AM I HAPPY! Glad to hear it!

Tim, what model NUVI are you using?

Had no CB antenna.
I was told by factory that the ground planes are there for both CB & AM/FM Radio. Did NOT want to drill holes into fiberglass cap. 
Decided to try and convert the inadequate factory antenna. Attempts to tune factory furnished antenna would not "unpeg" the SWR meter. Unscrewed antenna from base mount and replaced factory antenna with a 2 foot Firestik FS II. Replaced the spring with medium strength spring from Firestik because so many said the factory springs rust, become weak and then break. Tuned the antenna to 1.5 & 1.8 on SWR meter by screwing the top adjustment screw out about 1 inch, locked it tight and placed red rubber cap over it. Took the radio connector and plugged in to a coax connecter conversion cable. Installed a "T" style radio antenna on the radio replacing the cable we converted for use as a CB antenna. It is placed in front cap running from driver's side to passenger's side under the dash. Works great. Wednesday will be installing Bluetooth phone/audio devices to the radio and Sirius antenna box and antenna along with 2 new electric WOLO brand 115db trumpet horns in the generator compartment replacing that weak a** factory horn! 
Man... I can't wait to make the 6 state rally. Got to get this coach more presentable. 
TXUSGUY Gary N. Gibson Fort Worth TX Tiffin Allegro Breeze 32BRJust an update on installs. The horn, although NOT my previous Bully Air Horns, are exceedingly better than the OEM. JVC radio is now High Definition AM and FM, Sirius, and Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth Telephone. I am very happy with the install. However, I must say I am MOST impressed with the Bluetooth Phone capability. It sounds phenomenal on both ends. No yelling. No inability to hear. AND a lot safer! Again "thanks" to all who guided/advised during the process.

Yeah? my first radio was a 1 watt Heath kit. Could talk in the clear several hundred miles. Ah-h-h-h-h the Good ol' days before foul-mouthed truckers and severe heterodyne problems. KKE5653 ANY WAY....so do you think a NGP antenna would be better?

We travel with a 4 year old and a 9 year old. We put our 4 year old in a car seat seat belted in but in a position where she can still be involved with the trip. As for the 9 year old. we require her to always be seated but not necessarily buckled up. However, it situations of heavy traffic or rainy conditions, anything other then sunshine and open roads, we make her buckle up.
Cheers
Tom
I am a grandfather of a beautiful 4 year old granddaughter and I'm in the process of purchasing a 2011 Allegro Breeze 32BR. Can you use a child seat to restrain a child or do you need special hookups? Or at her age are the seat belts sufficient? I'm sure that we can secure the seat with the lap belt but what about the tether strap? Anxiously await your reply or e-mail me direct.
