Stopping with the four-wheel air-operated disc brakes was excellent. This coach felt like its brakes were sized for
a much larger payload, so there was plenty of reserve capacity to handle any emergency stops.

Crosswinds had no effect on the 152-inch wheelbase. While we drove through S-curves, the response was fast and
there was no overcorrecting required. The Breeze is actually the sports car of Class-A motorhomes and maneuverability was nothing short
of amazing. As you would expect, turning radius in a tight parking area was excellent with the shorter wheelbase and the 55-degree
wheel cut angle. Road noise was minimal; it's easy to carry on a conversation when in motion.

A pair of inverters is located in the basement to provide 120-volt AC power to the TVs and surround sound system in the coach
when shore power is not present and the generator is not running.

The Allegro Breeze is a unique coach. Tiffin has managed to fit all of the features of the typical large diesel-pusher
into a small package. It's a great choice for someone who wants to downsize from a larger motorhome or enter the Class-A market as a
first-time buyer.
