14 2025 Allegro Breeze Windows, Awnings, Vents, and Doors

Sliding windows (Figure 14-1) are custom built for the motorhome and allow easy sliding access to open the coach to fresh outside air.

There might also be a reflective coating on the windows to reflect back a portion of the sunlight to reduce the heating of the motorhome interior and to reduce the effects of the sun’s “bleaching” of interior fabrics (curtains, upholstery).

Sun shades on both the driver’s and passenger’s sides can be deployed and moved at any time.

Windows throughout the coach are designated as “EXIT” windows in the event of an emergency.

To help make the windows slide more easily, Tiffin Motorhomes recommends using Plexus Plastic Cleaner, which can be purchased through the Tiffin Motorhomes Service Department.

Your coach is equipped with Girard Awnings, powered by 12 VDC. (Figure 14-4) To control these awnings, first locate the control switch located in the driver side overhead cabinet. To extend or retract the awnings you will need to press the corresponding button on the Girard control switch (Figure 14-3). 

A vertical line button located between the UP and DOWN buttons, allows you to stop the awning while it is extending or retracting in order to reach desired location. The awnings also house LEDs that are operated by the LED ON/OFF buttons of the Girard switch. To retract the awning and turn off the awning LEDs, press the CLOSE/OFF button located on the control switch.

NOTE:
The awnings will not work with the ignition on.
Turning the ignition ON when the awnings are out will cause the awnings to automatically retract but will leave the awning LEDs on.
In order to turn these LEDs off, turn the ignition to the OFF position and then turn the LED off through the Girard control switch.
These actions are part of the ignition lockout safety feature so that the coach will not travel with the awnings extended. To close the awning:

NOTE:
Please refer to the Girard Operator’s Manual for more detail operations of awning.

To open the awning:

Locate the Remote Switch in the overhead cabinet above driver’s seat.
Press and release the EXTEND button and the awning will automatically open. 

To close the awning:

Locate the Remote Switch in the overhead cabinet above driver’s seat.
Press and release the RETRACT button to automatically close the awning. 

IMPORTANT:
As an extra safety precaution, visually verify that the awning is fully closed.

The Girard GG750 has a manual override to close the awning in case of power failures.

Remove the endcap opposite the motor, by removing the 3 Philips head screws.

Using a 13mm wrench, turn the square manual override shaft in order to close the awning, see Figure below.  NOTE: The manual override is one-way, it can only be used to close the awning.

Replace endcap using the 3 Philips head screws. 

Figure below is showing a right hand motor version of the GG750.  If your coach is equipped with a left hand version, the manual override will be on the opposite side.

Once power is restored, the awning will resume normal operation.

NOTE:
This procedure can also be used to manually retract the Over the Door Awning.

The kitchen and bathroom are both equipped with a 12 VDC exhaust vent (Figure 14-5). The fans are controlled by the fan tab on the Spyder Controls System (Figure 14-6). A three-speed switch on each vent fan controls the fan speed.

IMPORTANT:
The vent fan must be left in the ON mode only when the motorhome is parked and in use. The fan will not operate until the vent is open.

The primary entrance door to the motorhome has a key lock and a dead bolt for additional security. When the door is fully opened, the door hinge automatically holds the door in an OPEN position.

There is also a screen that allows increased air circulation when the entrance door is open.
