  • MCD-009 Jun 9, 2025 · Other
    Stopped using the lights we had been using due to expense. Replaced with these, but these new lights have to be wired in instead of just clicking in. These are the instructions to wire in.
  • MCD-003 Mar 25, 2024 · Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions
    On certain Tiffin Motorhomes equipped with an optional overhead bunk, an additional latch should be installed to secure the bunk in the event that the owner of the motorhome does not fully engage the primary bunk latches.
  • Letter to dealer Nov 10, 2017 · Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions
    This was a letter to our dealers we sent out when we first heard of the Kidde fire extinguisher recall, even though it was still unofficial. We knew our coaches on the dealers' lots contained Kidde and could not be sold unreplaced.
