OUR WHEEL ESTATE

Based on the title above, it sounds like we just bought a new motorhome, doesn't it?  No, actually we still have the same motorhome but when we arrive in Red Bay, AL, home of Tiffin Motorhomes, my husband does his best to redo, upgrade, retrofit, accessorize and add to our decked out moho.

Our brand new "somewhere between 2007 - 2014" Tiffin Allegro Bus


First off, if you have never checked the above tab of this blog called "COACH UPGRADES", you will notice our motorhome has had several (understatement) items added that may not have been visible to the casual onlooker.

Updated 2014 Allegro Bus chrome lettering

I'm going to post some pictures because you may be extremely confused if I don't.  Just in case you didn't know, "chrome is in" on motorhomes.  RV, my husband Robert Vance, says "You can't go wrong with chrome and stainless steel on RV's, motorcycles and classic cars."  RV is very proud of our "wheel estate", our full time home on wheels for the past 12+ years.

Summit Stainless Steps and Kickplate Upgrade

For instance, if you crawl on top of the roof, we added air conditioner #3 simply because it is an additional convenience in Florida with the extreme heat and humidity.  We may have the only 2007 Allegro Bus in the country with the Winegard Trav'ler, Winegard In-motion AND the Winegard Rayzar - to assure we will have some form of television reception during the college and NFL football season, including golf, of course.  Our unlimited Verizon mifi is used to provide a signal for the Facebook Lives I produce for my painting class, ARTitude Adjustment  on a daily basis.

For instance, we have stainless steel access pieces on the front and rear of our coach.

He added LED lights throughout the coach as well on the undercarriage of the coach (he says that it helps keep critters away).  This trip he added new fog lights that have an LED halo for 360 degrees when the motor is running.  When we purchased our coach there was a 36" television but now we have an LG 43" Smart TV.  The bedroom television was replaced with a larger Samsung LED TV and a custom storage cabinet was built.

Additional cabinets, shelves and matching solid surface countertops, new sinks, etc., as well as shades and ultra suede privacy shades were added earlier.   The list goes on....

This trip we have installed a chrome door handle, fog lights, front and rear cap repainted, and an assortment of other items associated with our engine and the engine compartment.

After 5 very enjoyable weeks in Red Bay, we're back on the road and making our way to Lafayette, LA.  He's already thinking about what to do the next time we return.   More stainless?
