Thank you Ryan I really appreciate the info! Do you have a good contact number and name at Tiffen?
Probably the best method is to contact their standard support number to inquiry about the warranty repair at (256) 356-0261.
They dissolved the dedicated Vanleigh support team so that is the number for Tiffin support. They will get you going.
Ryan, Thanks for the info. We are at the early stage of this now. Possible flex or failed welds. We have very little movement of the trim on one side only so far. I called Tiffin and it took a while but we are now in the QUE to bring it in to see what the problem is. We have a 2022 Beacon 39FBB so no slides over the front frame step. We are second owners and havenât discussed if its covered yet but Iâm hopefull.
Chuck - keep us updated on how it gets resolved. I am pretty certain that if you have structural issues on a 22 and going to Redbay they will take care of it for you. Tiffin has been good about addressing the problem several owners in or years outside of the warranty coverage when seen at Redbay.
As I think I mentioned previously on this thread the 22 model years would have wood stuffed channels which helps hold the lags for the wall and the screws for the trim on the sweep. I have seen 2021 FBBs with the typical flex / weld issue but those earlier years had a curbside slide. I will be interested in seeing how yours turns out. Hoping for a simple solution.

Just wanted to give my thumbs-up to Tishomingo⌠we just got home from there and they did the frame flex repair on our 2022 41FLB and did a great job. In and out in 10 days⌠and that included some fiberglass repair and repainting. When they went to remove the front cap and windshield, lots of glue during construction meant some heavy duty persuasion was needed to get it off.

@ChuckT curious to hear if Red Bay fixed your Beacon without charge as a second owner?
Sorry I didnât get back on here. We took it to Red Bay, they said we were ok but pulled the black trim out and installed longer screws up into the wall. There is still a tiny bit of movement, but I even sent pics to Danny at Tish and said it looks like we are fine. It helps that our floor plan, 2022 39FBB doesnât have a slide over the step up in the frame. We were out traveling for 4 1/2 months last summer, about 5500 miles and itâs still good.
Thanks for quick reply. It is good to hear it is still good after 5500 miles of traveling. Did Red Bay cover it under warranty even though you were second owner? I am looking at purchasing a 2020 39FBB and factoring that into the purchase.
Yes, but when I first contacted them I was within the 3 year structural warranty.
