This Problem Across All Years
Our unit was recalled previously under recall 22V273000 for the slide creeping out. The RV was supposedly repaired prior to leaving the factory. However, over the summer it began to creep out dangerously while driving. Again it was sent in for repairs and "fixed" Again the slide is moving out 5 or so inches while parked and when driving down the road. I am not sure how far out it would extend if I did not pull over and retract it. It also seems to be happening more frequently and moves out faster.

The coach has developed 5 stress fractures in the fiberglass body in a year of use. I am concerned that coach is at danger of losing part of its body while on the road. The dealer has repaired two of these fractures but three more have rapidly developed. These repairs were completed under Tiffin structural warranty. No warning prior to cracks developing.

Purchased Dec 2021. Immediate Hydraulic leak, repaired at dealer. Jan 2022- hydraulic slides creeping out 6-8 inches. March 2022- serviced at Tiffin in Red Bay. No solution for creepy slide. July 2022- received recall for creepy slide. Nov. 2022- Feb 2023. Picked up RV on Feb 9 at service center, completed recall for creepy slide. Before leaving service center, hydraulic pump went out and had to be replaced. In April 2023, I notified service center creepy slide issue continued. From that point, made several phone calls and sent numerous emails to Lippert (slide manufacturer) and Tiffin and Connecticut Motor cars and coaches, the service center I use to search for solution. After months, Sept 26, 2023- Lippert Tech came to my house to work on problem. Following that visit on Oct 10- sent picture to Lippert, creepy slide continues. Nov 30, 2023, which is tomorrow is next visit for Lippert Tech. Cautiously optimistic since the solution is replace same cylinders from recall that this will finally fix the problem. I was told by an Tiffin rep on the phone that Lippert’s solution is to replace the cylinders that were replaced during the recall and the Tiffin rep indicated they are still seeing the same creepy slide issues after the second cylinder are replaced. Everyday I have to go out and retract the slides so there is less wear and tear on rubber seals and to protect the slide from weather, especially freezing rain or snow. And driving down road, have to worry that slides are not going to start to extend. I have had to pull over at a rest stop to retract the slides more than once. There is a webpage dedicated to creepy slide issues that other Tiffin RV owners have written about the same same problem. Tiffin needs to recall and switch, at their cost, from Lippert slides to a more functional, safe slide manufacturer so that RVer’s feel safe and do not cause harm or injury to themselves or others. Thank you.

Vehicle was part of a recall for a hydraulic slide issue where the slide that would move out of the RV body during driving 3 to 6 inches. New cylinders fixed the issue for about 10 months. Slide is moving out again during driving which could cause an accident. All owners who had the recall performed have had the new part fail within 6-12 months creating a new safety hazard which could cause death or serious injury from a collision. The recall needs to be reopened for a permanent fix. The rv company, tiffin, and lippert who designed the system did not fix the issue!

The contact owns a 2022 Tiffin Allegro Open Road RV. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH on the interstate, all four of the RV sliders detached. The RV was taken to a dealer where the front sliders were repaired; however, the rear sliders were not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000. The VIN was not available.

The contact owns a 2022 Tiffin RV built on a 2020 Ford F-53 Chassis. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the driver's side living room slide out inadvertently extended to 2-3 inches. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving and while the RV was parked. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they would send new arms or hydraulic pistons for the RV repair. The RV was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 1,500. Consumer stated Tiffin Motorhomes will be sending new Rams. The defective rams are allowing/causing the large slide to surge out while driving, or parking.

Both the passenger side and drivers side "Slide" creep out about 3" to 6". This happens when RV is parked as well as traveling. On our way back from Hilton Head Island, SC to Williamsburg, VA I had to stop 4 times to pull the slides back in. they creeped out at least 6"! I have taken our Tiffin to the selling dealer several times so they can repair this issue. I am told that both Tiffin and Lippert (who makes the hydraulic system) are aware of the issue but there is not fix at this time. Our selling dealer has replaced (under warranty) the hydraulic pump, the solenoid valves, and hydraulic rams but issue is still present.

The 2022 Open Road RV has hydraulic slides and jacks manufactured by Lippert (owned by LCI). Since taking delivery of the RV in August 2021 we have had issues with the hydraulic slide "creeping out". This means that when the slide is closed, it should stay closed until you extend it. The slide extends on its own - even while driving down the highway. We are at the Tiffin RV Service Center to have the problem resolved. I was told by the Tiffin technician that there is currently no fix for the problem and that the Lippert engineers are working on it. I called Lippert customer service and they gave me a case number and told me to have the service technician call them. They offered no solution to the problem. The slides opening on their own while driving down the road is hazardous to us and other vehicles on the road.
