07 2026 Byway Cabinets and Furniture
Cabinets
The motorhome contains cabinetry as shown in Figure 7-1. installed throughout the entire motorhome from the driver’s area, through the kitchen/dining areas, and back into the bedroom. The cabinetry has been designed and built to provide ample storage space, to be easily accessible, and to be conveniently located to support the areas of concern. Construction of these cabinets incorporates various hardwoods, raised panels, cabinet doors, and supports. Door pulls, handles, and knobs are installed in a style complementing the décor of each motorhome so that an aesthetically-pleasing, as well as fully functional, storage capacity is realized. For the many floor plans available in the Byway product line, cabinet design has been optimized to provide maximal storage for every floor plan available.
Accordingly, the motorhome can readily accommodate the routine materials, supplies, and customer-specific items desired for any travel requirements. These cabinets are designed to contain stored supplies quite securely during travel to minimize or eliminate the possibility of shifting or spilling of cabinet contents during travel. However, when the motorhome is parked, all stored items are readily available in the cabinets for the convenience of the users. As the storage requirements will vary somewhat from one floor plan to another, general observations can be made about the Tiffin-supplied cabinetry, which may or may not be applicable for your specific motorhome configuration.
Cabinets are provided in the kitchen/dining area (Figure 7-1) to accommodate the routine cooking utensils and groceries normally required for travel. Storage space within these cabinets has been designed to accommodate the typical sizes and configurations of food supplies (e.g., cereal boxes, condiments, canned goods, bottled liquids) normally taken on travel trips. Based on Tiffin Motorhomes’ extensive experience with travel requirements of the seasoned motorhome users and from Tiffin Motorhomes’ own research and development in cabinet design requirements, the cabinets offer the greatest storage capacity possible. In the bathroom and bedroom, additional cabinets are available for storage of sundries and toiletries specific to these areas. In the kitchen, a color-coordinated countertop is provided on top of the floor-mounted cabinets. To maintain the appearance of the countertop, clean with a damp cloth. If spotting occurs, clean the countertop with a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap. Should some dried-on residue persist, let a damp cloth moistened with the liquid cleaner stand directly on top of that residue for 15-30 minutes to loosen the residue, then clean that spot accordingly.
NOTE: Strong chemicals, solvents, and cleaners (e.g., oven cleaner) might damage the surface; so do not use any products not specifically designed for countertop cleaning.
The booth dinette countertop (Figure 7-2) may be physically damaged, too, if proper care is not taken. Do not cut anything (e.g., vegetables, fruits) directly on the countertop; rather, use a cutting board on top of the countertop to provide necessary protection. Excessive heat may also damage the countertop; therefore, any pots or pans taken directly from the range or oven must not be placed directly on the countertop; rather, use trivets or some other form of fireproof heat insulators to hold very hot pots or pans on the countertop. All drawers are equipped with metal slides to provide additional load-bearing strength, and to permit effortless opening and closing of the drawers, even when they are fully loaded. These metal guides have a slight “locking” action, when closed. Open the drawers by pulling the drawer handle. To close, push the drawer handle closed until drawer “clicks” back into place (i.e., the locking action is engaged). As this cabinetry is typically of furniture-grade quality, any commercial furniture polish or cleaner can be used. Do not try to soak these wooden surfaces with water or any other liquid; be sure to wipe up spills or residues of any fluids that contact these surfaces to preclude any staining or discoloration of the cabinet surfaces.
Furniture
Kitchen, Living & Dining Area
In the motorhome, a built-in booth dinette (Figure 7-2) is standard. This booth dinette provides additional storage under the seat area of the booth, in addition to providing additional sleeping space.
To convert the dinette into a bed:
- Remove side and seat cushions as shown in Figure 7-3.
- Turn the lock lever underneath the table as shown in Figure 7-4.
- Adjust the table top to rest on top of the seat storage boxes as shown in Figure 7-5.
- Reinstall side and seat cushions to assemble the mattress for the bed application as shown in Figure 7-6.
The motorhome living room may contain Theatre Seats or the optional air coiled Sleeper Sofa, or the optional Super Sofa. The sleeper sofa (Figure 7-7), converts into a bed. This Sleeper Sofa includes an electrical air pump for inflating the mattress. The Super Sofa consists of a center console, a single theatre seat, and a sofa bed. The “Flip and Fold” Sofa converts into a 70” x 51” bed, see Figure 7-12
To convert the sofa into a bed:
1. Remove the seat cushions as shown in Figure 7-8.
2. Pull bedframe out using the pull handle as shown in Figure 7-9
3. Stand bedframe and mattress as shown in Figure 7-10.
4. Pull bedframe and mattress downward direction until bedframe is fully extended by touching the floor as shown in Figure 7-11. 5. Plug mattress cord to 120V floor receptacle located on the Kitchen Cabinet- not shown.
To convert the Super Sofa into a bed:
1. Remove the sofa seat cushions as shown in Figure 7-13.
2. Pull bedframe out at the front bottom edge of the seat cushion as shown in Figure 7-14.
3. Never pull bedframe from backside of the seat cushion as shown in Figure 7-15.
4. Stand bedframe and mattress as shown in Figure 7-16.
5. Pull bedframe downward direction until bedframe is fully extended as shown in Figure 7-17.
The driver’s seat (Figure 7-18) is manually operated and does swivel. The passenger’s seat is also an electric-powered, six-way seat having essentially the same controls as that of the driver’s seat, and it is operated accordingly
Bedroom Area
If a décor-coordinated, quilted bedspread with accessorized pillow shams and accent pillows (Figure 7-19) are included with the bedroom suit, Tiffin Motorhomes recommends that the bedspread be only dry-cleaned to preserve the quality of the bedspread for the longest time possible. Treatment of the bedspread with any of the stain-resistant sprays (e.g., Scotchgard, etc.) will also make the bedspread more resistant to stains and fabric damage and, thus, provide many years of dependable service.
