12 Interior Features

BEDSPREAD

As a furnished part of the bedroom suite, a bedspread with matching pillow accessories (Figure 12-1) is included with the motorhome.

The bedspread and pillow shams are “for dry-cleaning only.” As the bedspread was made with materials treated for stain resistance, drycleaning will prolong the life of these materials. The curtains in the bedroom are color-coordinated with the bedspread and accessories to provide a pleasing décor for the bedroom area.

ELEVATED BEDS CAUTION

• 250 lbs. Max. load capacity
• Failure to comply with the load capacity could cause bed failure which may result in injury.
• Bed (s) must be stowed in the up position during travel.
• Elevated beds may present a fall hazard which may result in injury.
Please consult the Owner’s Manual for more information regarding elevated beds and the use of bed rails.

Standard Elevated Beds – Various Tiffin products are equipped with standard built-in elevated beds or bed loft areas. These beds can be upwards of 4 to 5 feet above the floor level and are often enclosed on one, two, or three sides and sometimes even partially on a fourth side. Because there are so many potential users and different types of elevated bed designs, elevated beds are not equipped with bed rails.

Use of Bed Rails – We feel that you, as the customer, are best equipped to determine if a bed rail system is necessary or best for you based on your intended uses, the actual users of the elevated beds, and the comfort level of the users.

For those customers who would prefer using an elevated bed with a bed rail, there are numerous bed rail styles, sizes, heights, and designs available, even in the style of bumpers, which can be purchased at various retail locations and/or on the internet. When installing a bed rail please make sure that you follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions carefully and that you take in to account the size and height of the mattress (either originally installed by Tiffin or later replaced by you) so that the rails are the appropriate height above the top of the mattress. This is important because residential mattresses differ in size from the RV mattresses originally installed by Tiffin.
Please also make sure that the bed rail you select allows for adequate room to get in and out of the elevated bed after installation, especially in the event of an emergency.

Tips for Safe Usage

Please use sound judgment when allowing children to sleep in any style of elevated bed. Generally, it is not suitable for children under the age of 6 to sleep in an elevated bed or bed loft area.
Discuss proper usage of any elevated bed/electric bed lift system with your children and make sure they are supervised if playing in the bedroom/sleeping area of the trailer with elevated beds. Please do not allow horseplay on or under the elevated beds and no items such as hooks, belts, jump ropes, or towels should hang from any part of the elevated bed.
Place a night light in the bedroom/sleeping area so users can see at night when getting in and out of the beds.
No more than one person should be in an elevated bed at once and make sure you follow the weight restrictions posted on the warning label near the beds.

FLOORING

Vinyl flooring (Figure 12-2) is standard throughout the motorhome with the exception of the slide-out rooms, which are carpeted. For routine cleaning, sweeping or vacuuming the floor would be sufficient. If more thorough cleaning is warranted, the flooring can be cleaned with a damp mop and water. For more stubborn stains, a mixture of soapfree household cleaner (e.g., vinegar, ammonia, or comparable products) and water can be used.

Do not unduly saturate the floor surfaces with water, as this could damage the flooring substrate.
Do not use any abrasives (cleansers, scouring pads, and the like) as they can scratch or mar the flooring surfaces and might cause damage to the flooring. If ceramic tile is chosen as an option, it may be cleaned more vigorously than the vinyl flooring.

CEILING

The ceiling (Figure 12-3) in the Allegro motorhome is covered with a padded-vinyl headliner, which can be easily cleaned with a damp, soft cloth, and a mild detergent.

Clean around all vent areas to prevent any build-up of dirt, grease, or other accumulations.

WINDOW TREATMENTS

Throughout the Allegro Breeze, the window treatments consist of two shades—solar and blackout (Figure 12-4).

The solar shade enables one to see out during the daytime, yet blocks most of the sunlight and heat from entering the motorhome. The blackout shade creates complete privacy for nighttime.

Each shade can be raised and lowered by pulling down on the shade.

The shades are located on all the windows in the living area and the bedroom. A single shade is located in the window above the kitchen sink and the bathrooms.

The cockpit shades operate on a manual roller tube with a retention spring.

To operate the cockpit shades, pull the shade down to the desired level and slowly release to lock the shade in place. To retract, gently pull down on the shade and release.

MULTIPLEX SYSTEM

The multiplex system (Figure 9-3 and Figure 9-4) enables you to control circuits from multiple locations in the coach. Each switch enables you to turn a circuit ON or OFF with individual button presses, and provides an indicator light to determine the status of the circuit (ON or OFF).

Additional features of the multiplex system include the following:

Master Feature (this is only on the control panel located at the entrance door) — Enables you to turn all lighting circuits ON or OFF by pressing a single button labeled Light Master. Pressing the Light Master OFF switch will turn off all the interior lights within the coach. Momentarily pressing the Light Master ON switch will turn on the same circuits that were on when the Light Master OFF switch was pressed. Light Master OFF remembers which lights were on when the switch was pressed and will turn those same lights back on when the Light Master ON switch is momentarily pressed. Holding the Light Master ON switch will turn on all interior light circuits.
Switch Panel Backlighting — All of the switches are backlit to make the labels easy to read. If you desire to turn the panel lights OFF, a switch is conveniently located at the center of the coach labeled Panel Lights, which enables you to turn the back lighting ON, OFF, or DIM.
Status LED Indicator — A green LED beside each switch indicates whether the load is ON or OFF. In some cases, certain switches such as Awnings, Compartment Locks, and Generator do not have a status indicator at the switch.
