Tiffin Motorhomes’ Dealer Meeting Underway in Nashville – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With a sneak preview of its 2026 model year motorhomes – including special edition off-road adventure vans – the 2025 Tiffin Motorhomes Dealer Meeting got underway Thursday at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tenn.
The first day also featured some words of welcome from Leigh Tiffin, president of the Red Bay, Ala.-based motorhome builder, who thanked the many dealers who were in attendance for taking time out of their busy schedules to travel to Nashville.
Leigh Tiffin will go into greater detail on the new model year motorhomes and the company in general during his morning presentation today. He will be followed by a panel discussion featuring THOR Industries President Bob Martin and Bob Tiffin, CEO of Tiffin Motorhomes. Other speakers include Van Tiffin and Trent Tiffin, who serves as the company’s vice president of sales, as well as Ron Insana, an analyst and commentator for CNBC.
The Open Trail Class C adventure vans, built in partnership with Owl Vans, a nationwide upfitter of Class B motorhomes, were front and center in the display area that features no less than 33 of Tiffin-branded Class A, Super C, Class C and Class B units.
Two dealer representatives, Bernie Culliton of Campers Inn RV and Larry McNamara of Giant Recreation World, were among the first to check out the units.
“I think it was made for the zombie apocalypse,” said McNamara, who serves as the president CEO of the dealership’s three Florida locations. “It’s bad to the bone, let me tell you. I haven’t gotten the spiel yet – and they’re doing that outside as we speak – but it’s an awesome-looking unit.”
For his part, Culliton, Campers Inn RV’s brand ambassador, said he was most looking forward to “seeing all the new stuff.”
“I really wanted to get over here and take a look at all this stuff, but I had no idea what I was going to see, and now I’m just completely surprised as to the immensity of this display and the immensity of the changes,” he told RVBusiness. “In this coach that we’re in here, the Open Trail, is just outstanding. I just spent 20 minutes with the Owl rep who helped design the exterior of this coach, and, whoa, there’s so much to learn.”
Tiffin officials said the Open Trail “combines the efficiency of an adventure van with the added capacity of a Class C coach.” Built on the Mercedes Benz 3500XD Dual Wheel AWD Cutaway Chassis and equipped with the SumoSpringsRide Assist System, the 25 AO model checks in at 25 feet, 6 inches long with a GVWR of 11,030 pounds and 5,000-pound hitch rating.
Other features include: rear twin beds that convert to a king-size bed; 15,000-Btu air conditioner with heat pump; 2,000-watt pure sine wave inverter; Truma AquaGo Comfort Plus instant water heater; Spyder Controls multiplex system with app integration; 4-kilowatt Flex Power dual fuel generator; Girard power awnings; hardwood cabinetry; private wet bath; and a sleeper sofa or optional L-shaped lounge.
