Built with high-quality materials and engineered for stability, these mirrors ensure a reliable and seamless driving experience, whether traveling on highways or maneuvering through tighter spaces.

Running Boards
A durable and functional running board designed to facilitate easy and safe entry into the van. This running board is equipped with bright, energy-efficient 12V LED lighting, ensuring enhanced visibility and style during nighttime use. Its sleek design and reliable construction make it an ideal addition for added convenience and safety.
The driver-side running board (Figure 7-3) on the Tiffin GH Series is designed to provide a sturdy and convenient step for the driver when entering or exiting the vehicle. Built from durable materials, it ensures long-lasting performance and resistance to wear from frequent use and various weather conditions. Its non-slip surface enhances safety, allowing the driver to step confidently, even in wet or muddy environments.

Like the driver-side counterpart, it is built to withstand daily use and varying environmental conditions, reinforcing the vehicle’s commitment to functionality and durability.
Air Compressor
The Tiffin GH Series is equipped with an onboard ARB air compressor featuring both front and rear mounted chucks (Figure 7-5). This system allows for convenient access to compressed air for inflating tires, powering pneumatic tools, and other applications. The switch (Figure 7-6) for the compressor is strategically placed on the driver seat base (Figure 7-7), making it easily accessible when the driver’s door is open. This thoughtful placement ensures quick operation without needing to search for controls, enhancing the vehicle’s practicality for off-road adventures or roadside maintenance.
To use the air chucks, first ensure the compressor is powered on by pressing the button on the driver seat base. Then, locate the front or rear air chuck, depending on your needs. Attach the air hose securely to the chuck, ensuring a tight connection to prevent leaks. If inflating tires, connect the hose to the tire valve and monitor the pressure using a gauge. Once the desired pressure is reached, disconnect the hose and secure the chuck cover to protect it from dirt and debris. The system is designed for efficiency and ease of use, making it a valuable feature for travelers and outdoor enthusiasts.
