Red Bay, Alabama

Home to Tiffin Motorhomes.  Founded in 1972.


Factory tour






Visited Chris Berry @ Making Saw Dust 

Marlee the official greeter

Marlee is quite the girl.  
I would have liked to take her home with me but she would've missed her country life.

Visited Daniel & Carl @ MS RV solutions.
Our shower stall needed to be reattached to the wall. 

After much need, there are now a number of new self serve campsites throughout town.

We parked next to the Jones who owned our motorhome's twin.  We enjoyed visiting with Dave and Pattie sharing the small differences that each had made. 

Now in trying to keep up with the Jones we will be making an unplanned return trip to Red Bay later in June to get new replacement headlights.
