  1. The 2011 Tiffin Breeze in question, is a Maxxforce 6.4L V-8 from 2007, with 2010 EPA.  215 HP @ 2600 rpm, 560 torque @ 1400, Allison 1000.  Powerglide chassis, built for economy!  The max HP for that engine is 230/625 used by other coach brands!

    The coach comes in at 22,000/26,000 with a CCC of 2,300 and has a 60 gal fuel tank!


  2. Don, its the Hendriks HBT 210 rear axle/tag alignment system.   I don't have experience with it...but from what I read, it prevents having the rear end aligned every year.  Catch 22 is that the system should be checked by Spartan annually for proper torque, I could not find the torque values.  

    Sorry, I can't help more!


  3. I have not bothered to look into this, but have been told by a person we know from Montana, that they now must pay a Luxury tax on RV's!  That also applies to LLC's that own a second home and or RV's, boats etc.

    I personally, don't like looking over my shoulder wondering when I'll be pulled over and checked for Lic, plates and residence....we have horror stories on this Forum!  :ph34r:


  4. Jim S, when my series 1 DEF went bad at Buckhorn RV Resort in Feb 2021, it did to me as described above!  When I called Spartan,  they informed me that my 1 was replaced by Series 5, I had it in hand the next day,  UPS, cost me $684 + installation!  Never asked me the color of light.  


  5. On the Spartan, you get a yellow light first and it say's "DEF shut down in 5 minutes", then the red light and your retarded to 5 mph for 15 minutes!  That's enough to clear traffic & allow engine cool down!

    Dutch Star comes on FTL chassis with the 450 HP, or Spartan with the 500 HP Option!


  6. Joe's right.  Hydraulic is used on the slide that has the heavy appliances and longer slide...mine is 27' 7".  My other 2 slides are electric!  I would say, Newmar King Aire is high end (New replacement cost on mine is $1,300,000).  Back in 2002, Joe's was high end.

    I had a Allegro Bus, high end, with the cable slide in bedroom, constant problem!

    IMHO, Bean counters will do more cheap stuff on high end coaches than middle or low!
