08 2026 GH Series Interior Features
Flooring
The Tiffin GH Series is thoughtfully designed with durable and high-performance Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) flooring (Figure 8-1), providing a resilient, water-resistant, and easy-to-maintain surface that enhances both the comfort and longevity of the vehicle’s interior. This specialized flooring material offers excellent resistance to wear and tear, ensuring it remains in top condition even under heavy use, making it an ideal choice for the adventurous traveller.
To maintain and clean your Tiffin GH Series TPO flooring effectively, follow these professional guidelines:
1. Sprinkle Baking Soda – Baking soda acts as a gentle abrasive, helping to lift dirt and grime without scratching the surface.
2. Mix Cleaning Solution – Combining vinegar, water, and a few drops of dish soap creates a natural cleaner that cuts through grease while being safe for the flooring. DO NOT use any abrasive (cleaners, scouring pads and the like) as they can scratch or mark up the flooring surfaces and may cause permanent damage to the flooring.
3. Mop with Microfiber Mop – A microfiber mop ensures effective cleaning while avoiding scratches, and the baking soda works to remove stubborn residues.
4. Rinse Thoroughly – It’s essential to remove all traces of soap and baking soda to prevent buildup and streaking. However, do not over saturate the floor surfaces with water, as this could damage the flooring substrate.
5. Dry Properly – Either air-dry the flooring or use a dry microfiber cloth to prevent excess moisture from sitting on the surface.
Owl Components

By consulting Owl, you can access detailed specifications that facilitate a seamless application while allowing you to customize the Tiffin GH Series to suit your preferences. This collaboration ensures that every modification meets the highest standards of functionality and design.
Ceiling
The ceiling of the TIFFIN GH Series is adorned with a padded vinyl headliner, combining both aesthetic appeal and functionality. This material is designed for durability and ease of maintenance, ensuring it remains in excellent condition with minimal effort.
1. Prepare the Cleaning Solution: Dampen a soft cloth with water and a mild detergent.
2. Wipe the Surface Gently: Use the cloth to remove dust, dirt, or stains, ensuring a smooth and even application.
3. Avoid Abrasive Materials: Do not use harsh brushes or scrubbing tools, as they may damage the vinyl’s texture.
4. Steer Clear of Harsh Chemicals: Refrain from using strong cleaning agents, such as bleach or ammonia, to preserve the vinyl’s appearance and integrity.
It is particularly important to pay close attention to cleaning around the vent areas. Vents can accumulate dirt, grease, or other debris over time, which may impact airflow and overall cleanliness. Regular cleaning in these areas will not only maintain the appearance of the ceiling but also ensure optimal functioning of the ventilation system. Periodic upkeep of the headliner and vents will contribute to a more comfortable and hygienic environment within your vehicle.
Window Treatments
The TIFFIN GH Series is outfitted with high-quality blackout window shades and a sliding screen shade (Figure 8-2), offering a flexible and customizable window covering system. The blackout shade is designed to completely block out external light, providing optimal privacy and a darkened interior when needed. Meanwhile, the sliding screen shade allows for airflow while preventing insects from entering, making it ideal for ventilation without compromising comfort.
Both shades are fully adjustable, allowing you to control how much of the window you wish to cover. By sliding the shades, you can choose to fully block the window for complete privacy or selectively adjust them to cover only a portion, depending on your preference. This versatility ensures that you can create the perfect balance of light, airflow, and privacy to suit your needs, whether you're enjoying natural light during the day or seeking a restful environment at night.
The design and operation of these shades are user-friendly, allowing occupants to easily adjust or deploy them as needed. Regular maintenance and cleaning are recommended to ensure their longevity and continued performance.
Operating the Shade:
1. Opening the Shade – Gently slide the shade to expose the screen. This allows fresh air to circulate while keeping insects out.
2. Adjusting Airflow – The pleated design enables partial opening, so you can control ventilation while maintaining bug protection.
3. Blackout Mode – When full shade is needed, extend the blackout fabric completely to block sunlight and create a cool, dark interior. 4. Closing the Shade – Simply slide the shade back into its housing when not in use. Cleaning the Shade: 1. Dust Regularly – Use a soft brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris from the shade. This prevents buildup and keeps the fabric looking fresh. 2. Spot Cleaning – If there are stains, gently blot the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing, as it may damage the fabric.
3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals – Stick to mild detergents and avoid strong cleaners that could degrade the material.
4. Dry Properly – Allow the shade to air dry completely before retracting it to prevent moisture buildup and mold growth.
5. Check Mechanisms – If your shade has magnetic connectors or clip-together moldings, ensure they are clean and functioning properly for smooth operation.
