An all-new new floor plan in the Allegro Rear Engine Diesel (RED) line is a reliable indicator that the company is doing something right. The 37 BA RED is currently in production and is set to hit showrooms for the 2018 model year, if it hasn't already.
Upgrading to the 37 BA means stepping up in the world of luxury touring. At approximately 39 feet, two inches, the 37 BA rides on a solid rear-engine Freightliner chassis, pushed by a turbo-charged Cummins ISB 6.7 L Electronic Diesel that offers 360 hp at 2600 rpm. With Air-Ride Suspension and the comfort afforded by the newly designed cab, you'll find the 37 BA as pleasurable on the road as it is at a campground.
On the outside, the 37 BA's full-body paint scheme offers seasons of use against the elements thanks to the use of premium paints and a sealant to resist against UV rays. There's even a scratch-resistant coating to protect the front, stairwell, and entry door lock. Other exterior components include fiberglass front and rear caps, a tinted one-piece windshield, and a power patio awning. Additional awnings are over the auto entry door and the three slide-outs. Other exterior features are single handle lockable storage door latches, a rinse hose/shower, and a back-up colour monitor.
Another redesign on the 37 BA floor plan is the European-style driver's centre. All controls and gauges are designed to be within easy reach or viewing. Two new UltraLeather chairs offer great support and an in-dash navigation system is available as an option.
Inside the 37 BA, the stylish appointments mix with comfort to provide an ideal living space. UltraLeather furniture abounds and is set on the ceramic tile floor in the living and bath area. The decor offers easier maintenance – and also good, clean looks. Some nice addes touches are the high-gloss raised panel hardwood cabinet doors, as well as the soft touch vinyl ceiling, accented fabrics, and LED lighting.
The galley is a space where everyone commonly gravitates towards – and Tiffin designers made sure everyone will. The countertops and cooktop cover are a solid surface, while the three essential appliances include the residential refrigerator and three-burner cooktop with convection microwave. You'll also appreciate the double bowl sink with single lever satin nickel faucet, plus the pull-out pantry, and lots of storage.
At day's end, the master suite is just as impressive with its designer fabrics, handcrafted wardrobe, side windows and queen bed.
The 37 BA is just one model from Tiffin for 2018 as a handful of other models are in the works, including a redesigned Zephyr, a new 33 BR Breeze, 37 BH Phaeton and a new 24 FW Wayfarer class C.
