W7SDR Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hi Dick here, We are looking for a small Class A Diesel (32' to 34') Tiffen or Newmar quality RV. The only ones we have found have. a front engine, usually 5.9 liter Cummins. My question is any comments regarding noise or servicing or handling Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsys Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 When we had our Sprinter-based Class C a fellow stopped us one time to ask questions. One of those was whether or not the noise of the diesel engine bothered us. We asked if it was bothering him. He didn't realize it was running. The only way to know if it is going to bother you is to go listen to one.

Kirk W Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 We have known two couples who owned Tiffin coaches built on the FRED chassis. Both of them were quite happy with their coaches. I drove one of them for about 100 miles and found it quite comfortable in ride and handling. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

No more than in a diesel pickup truck or perhaps a little bit less. I don't think that it was significantly louder than our gas coach was. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......
