Tiffin (Better tier): Tiffin's mid-line diesel pusher: Crane Noble all-composite sidewalls, tubular aluminum framing, steel basement and a Freightliner PowerGlide raised-rail chassis with ZF independent front suspension - genuinely well built, with the caveat that post-2021 Thor-era service is not what the family-run years were.

FINDING ONE

Patient search — weeks of watching, and probably some travel. Why: still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

The compact modern Phaeton - a 37-ft diesel that still fits ordinary sites. The MSRP shown is Tiffin's flat 2026 Phaeton starting price, not a plan-specific figure, so treat it as a floor.
