We considered doing #Carcast, but because the roads in Michigan are awful and I wanted slightly better audio quality, Robert Tiffin and I sat down to record a podcast on Monday afternoon. It\u2019s a very meta/inside-baseball type conversation about how we cover the game \u2014 looking the human relationships, trust, and how you build the things that eventually l\u2026 From left, THOR Industries President & CEO Bob Martin, Tiffin Motorhomes Founder & CEO Bob Tiffin, and moderator Baylee Tiffin.(Photos by Rick Kessler of RVBusiness) With a host of new products and new programs, Tiffin Motorhomes concluded its 2025 Dealer Meeting last week at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tenn. With this being the first dealer meeting since 2018 for the Red Bay, Ala.-based subsidiary of THOR Industries, there was also a sense of the event being a family reunion. Indeed, the theme was “From Our Family to Yours” – something President Leigh Tiffin said was an important message to pass along. “I think we really got the point across that it’s still a family-led business. That we’re still as passionate about it as we’ve ever been because our name is on the coach, and we carry that name with pride. Even though THOR Industries may have purchased the company five years ago, we still treat it like it’s our own,” Tiffin said. Other highlights from the dealer meeting included a panel discussion with CEO & Founder Bob Tiffin and THOR President & CEO Bob Martin. Bob Tiffin remained on stage for a second panel discussion with Leigh Tiffin and Trent Tiffin, the company’s vice president of sales. Both panels were moderated by Baylee Tiffin, Leigh Tiffin’s wife. Also, CNBC economic analyst and commentator Ron Insana delivered a keynote presentation that painted a troublesome picture of the nation’s economy. Tiffin’s 2026 motorized lineup – 33 Tiffin-branded Class A, Super C, Class C and Class B units were on display – included the Class B debuts of the GT1 Touring Van and GH2 Adventure Van as well as the Open Trail Class C Adventure Van, which was built in partnership with Owl Vans, a nationwide upfitter of Class B motorhomes. While there were numerous updates across the lineup, other highlights included new front and rear caps and a new floorplan in the Open Road Allegro and the new PowerDrive platform from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp. on the Allegro Bus and Zephyr. Trent Tiffin, the OEM’s vice president of sales, said the company “got creative in a lot of ways with our concept vehicles and just refining our C and B products.” He acknowledged the trend of buyers preferring smaller motorhomes – which is why the OEM is all-in on Class B and C units – but said the Class market is “holding its own.” “I mean, it may not be as big as it once was, but we’re still selling what we need to sell,” Trent Tiffin said. “We feel good. The product is looking really great, especially with the Allegro Bus and the Zephyr, the rear axle and Freightliner and PowerGlide. It’s super easy to drive the coach now. Even the Open Road’s got a new facelift and it looks awesome – something that it needed for a long time – but we still feel very confident about our Class A market.” In addition to product, another update going forward is the adoption of Configure Price Quote (CPQ) and Minimum Advertised Pricing (MAP). CPQ refers to electronic ordering, and one of the benefits is a sales person in the field can get a price quote within minutes. It also “streamlines and simplifies” the ordering process, Leigh Tiffin added. “As you know, especially with our larger, more complex motorhomes, there’s a lot of options, a lot of choices,” he explained. “This eliminates that confusion and the ability for a mistake. Then it seamlessly integrates the back and forth with the dealer so they can confirm the accuracy of the order. Then, boom, it goes right into our system. So, a big leap forward for us and becoming easier to do business with.” The switch to MAP – Tiffin has always allowed only MSRP advertising – allows dealers to be more competitive in today’s market, Leigh Tiffin said. Despite what has been a difficult three or so years for the RV industry – especially for Class A motorhomes – Leigh Tiffin said he believes the worst of it is just about in the rear-view mirror and he’s excited for the coming years. “I think, as you look down the road for the next five years, we’re way closer to the end than we are the beginning of this. I think we’re going to begin to climb back to the next peak soon enough,” he said. “There’s some things we can’t control right now. There’s some political dynamics and some trade dynamics out there that are creating some uncertainty, but that’ll blow over at some point. It won’t last forever. “We’re always bullish on America. We’re bullish on the RV industry,” Tiffin continued. “I think there is a lot of talk around the lifestyle today and how this is an experiential lifestyle, and the younger demographic is more interested in experiences maybe than even products. So, how do we really sell the lifestyle and the experience that the Tiffin brand provides our customers?” He noted that one of the benefits of the pandemic was the influx of younger buyers into the lifestyle. That younger demographic is ready to “climb the ladder” and step up into a motorhome, he said. “As more equity is built in currently owned vehicles, the trade cycle will eventually come around. I think that starts as soon as next year when we’ll really start to see a difference,” Tiffin said. He mentioned that typically a favorite topic of discussion whenever the RV industry gathers is the “good old days”, but the “reality is we all learn more in the tough times than the good times.” “Right now, our business is tough because we got too many motorhomes chasing too few customers,” Tiffin said. “That’s just what it boils down to. You can look at it any way you want, but that’s what it is. © 2023 G&G Media Group LLC Tiffin if you could please wear something Navy colored to honor Steve Share a story where David's kindness touched your heart Describe a day with David you’ll never forget Thanks for visiting !

Tiffin Motorhomes President Leigh Tiffin, far right, welcomes dealers to the company's 2025 Dealer Meetings at the Gaylord Hotel in Nashville, Tenn. (Photos by Rick Kessler/RVBusiness) NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With a sneak preview of its 2026 model year motorhomes – including special edition off-road adventure vans – the 2025 Tiffin Motorhomes Dealer Meeting got underway Thursday at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tenn. The first day also featured some words of welcome from Leigh Tiffin, president of the Red Bay, Ala.-based motorhome builder, who thanked the many dealers who were in attendance for taking time out of their busy schedules to travel to Nashville. Leigh Tiffin will go into greater detail on the new model year motorhomes and the company in general during his morning presentation today. He will be followed by a panel discussion featuring THOR Industries President Bob Martin and Bob Tiffin, CEO of Tiffin Motorhomes. Other speakers include Van Tiffin and Trent Tiffin, who serves as the company’s vice president of sales, as well as Ron Insana, an analyst and commentator for CNBC. The Open Trail Class C adventure vans, built in partnership with Owl Vans, a nationwide upfitter of Class B motorhomes, were front and center in the display area that features no less than 33 of Tiffin-branded Class A, Super C, Class C and Class B units. Two dealer representatives, Bernie Culliton of Campers Inn RV and Larry McNamara of Giant Recreation World, were among the first to check out the units. “I think it was made for the zombie apocalypse,” said McNamara, who serves as the president CEO of the dealership’s three Florida locations. “It’s bad to the bone, let me tell you. I haven’t gotten the spiel yet – and they’re doing that outside as we speak – but it’s an awesome-looking unit.” For his part, Culliton, Campers Inn RV’s brand ambassador, said he was most looking forward to “seeing all the new stuff.” “I really wanted to get over here and take a look at all this stuff, but I had no idea what I was going to see, and now I’m just completely surprised as to the immensity of this display and the immensity of the changes,” he told RVBusiness. “In this coach that we’re in here, the Open Trail, is just outstanding. I just spent 20 minutes with the Owl rep who helped design the exterior of this coach, and, whoa, there’s so much to learn.” Tiffin officials said the Open Trail “combines the efficiency of an adventure van with the added capacity of a Class C coach.” GAFFNEY, S.C.—Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — The University of Iowa is requesting approval from the Iowa Board of Regents for three new medical leases aimed at expanding health care access across the state, including projects in Tiffin, Iowa City and Des Moines. The proposed clinic would include 12 exam rooms, a lab, and a small conference room. It is expected to serve as the main site for five to six clinical providers and accommodate future growth. UI officials reviewed several potential locations before selecting the site for its visibility and proximity to other community services. In Iowa City, the university is seeking approval to move the Center for Disabilities and Development (CDD) from its current 71-year-old building on Hawkins Drive to a new facility at 2610 Northgate Drive. The existing structure will be demolished to make way for a future inpatient tower projected to cost over $1 billion. UI estimates the demolition will save approximately $20 million in maintenance costs. Other services currently located in the Hawkins Drive building, including the cytogenetics lab and sleep disorders clinic, will be relocated to other facilities. In Des Moines, UI Health Care intends to lease a 41,243 square-foot portion of an office building at 110 E. Court Ave. to house cancer care services previously provided by Mission Cancer + Blood, which UI acquired earlier this year for $280 million. The lease is necessary because the current landlord will not extend the existing lease beyond 2025. The new location will be renovated into a dedicated oncology care facility. UI will cover the anticipated renovation cost of $12 million to $14 million upon completion. The initial base rent for the new space will be nearly $1 million, with annual increases of 2.5 percent. The building owner is also constructing a new parking ramp across the street, where UI will have the option to lease up to 165 parking spaces. is the ability to collaborate with some of the smarter people in the hockey industry He covers the Dallas Stars on a daily basis at his site and in the new (and weird) world of fully independent journalism let’s get to the key question of the day and whether the Stars are seriously looking at trading for Seth Jones Before Jim Nill went out and traded for Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci the Stars’ mountain of cap space was a fantasy hockey player’s dream Every remotely available player could fit into the chasm of cap space created by putting Tyler Seguin and Nils Lundkvist on long-term injured reserve and that led to more trade speculation than ever Some of that speculation involved fixing the Stars roster’s biggest weakness: their lack of a top-tier Ever since Chris Tanev followed the tax man back to Canada Ilya Lyubushkin has served admirably down the lineup but with the Matt Dumba Experiment not working out on the top pairing fans wondered whether Dallas might go back to the Calgary well at the deadline and trade for a right-shot defender like Rasmus Andersson—at least until Calgary decided he wasn’t available to begin with with them staying in the playoff hunt and hoping to extend Andersson A high-profile name like Seth Jones on the blue line would seem to solve Dallas’s problem, certainly.

written by Nikita Lalwani the two play a couple who have broken up but find themselves thrust back together when a family member and close mutual friend get married The Prime Video movie, which premiered March 6, also marks the first time Ashley has taken on the role of executive producer giving her even more influence over the character of Pia financially struggling photographer in modern-day London who is dealing with family pressures and the trials and tribulations of running your own studio but her sister doesn’t want her showing up solo to her wedding so she’s forced to endure some hilariously bad dates those dates are chosen by her family — a fun refreshing take on standard rom-com tropes inspired by the Australian film Five Blind Dates Teen Vogue spoke to Ashley and Tiffin just a few days before the premiere about their on-screen chemistry and the joys of working with Phil Dunster (best known as Jamie Tartt from Ted Lasso) Simone Ashley: We were playing on that there was definitely unfinished business between Charlie and Pia Even their first interactions that they have after a long time of seeing each other I feel like Charlie was the mature one that kind of stayed grounded and really found himself and Pia was the one that was kind of up in flames a bit It was her journey of self-discovery and once she found that and found her feet on the ground Tiffin: Phil was just hilarious and he’s such a lovely guy I think we probably shot that over a few days and sometimes the schedules don't allow as much room to just relax and enjoy it and take your time with it Sometimes you might be on one location and you have so much to do in a day but it felt like that was scheduled quite generously and we'd just be laughing our heads off between takes about what was happening in the takes and just having a laugh throughout the whole day and he had the guitar off set and we'd be singing songs and making up songs I am really grateful that Ben and Erica from 42 MP allowed me to collaborate with them on this I think each project requires different focus and different attention in different areas and you learn from them I can take everything I've learned from this into that Ashley: Even if you think you've covered all ground of everything you've wanted to do I wish I had maybe tweaked this a bit more And sometimes you've just got to let it be and be like ROSS FERGUSONTV: I caught the end of the Brown Girl Magazine screening that you did in New York and I think you said something about changing the script a little bit or working with the team to change the script especially around your character and Indian culture Can you talk a little bit about that?Ashley: It was actually less about the cultural aspects of it There's one layer that this is such an amazing thing for brown people to be represented in this film and to see that there's a space where they belong in the world of romcoms I just wanted it to be humanized and I wanted to make sure Pia's character was just like the other leading ladies we see in other romcoms to make sure that she was well-rounded enough and the world around her was like that as well Tiffin: Ten Things I Hate About You is up there for me I felt like as much as [Picture This] ticks the boxes that you want a romcom to tick there's an originality to it that I just felt like leaning into what the script had to serve So I don't think I needed to pull on much inspiration from anything else I thought the script had it all there and the cast was all there and didn't need to draw on much inspiration very accurate and all encompassing kind of experience for me There's a scene that was quite last minute that they wanted us to do of joining in the dance that was never in the script you haven't had the time to think it through yet Why don't you jump in there?” And yeah it was great fun — the costumes and the music and I think all of the extras that we had in on the day just made it feel very real Tiffin: I feel bad when everyone’s raving about it Simone's just so good at creating an atmosphere on set where everyone is not just enjoying themselves but also paying a lot of attention to the work and making sure the work is done And I speak for everyone when I say we all felt super comfortable but exploring and trying to have ideas about how to make it better if we could I don't think there was anything particularly that special that we did other than just enjoy ourselves and bring out to life the great words that were already on the page which I think is different from a lot of the things I've played before when it came to a romance story being told the energy was more volatility and chaos and drama because of the world we're in as well and the characters we play — especially your character I think Pia was just more chaotic and crazy and that for me was a different temperature in that sense Tiffin: When the characters are well written like that and it feels like there's a reason that they are attracted to each other but also you can kind of understand why it didn't work at the start but why after nurturing their relationship and talking things through and spending more time together I think that's a complex but realistic kind of portrayal of probably a quite common relationship set-up They're pretty relatable to pretty much everyone and I think there's always going to be a place for them What was most enjoyable for me about doing this off the back of After was it feels like the other side to the romance coin in the sense that After is very dramatic This has a strong romantic element and it's very comedic So it just felt like the perfect other side of the coin to the stuff that I've done before Ashley: It was so important for Pia’s journey and wants to honor her legacy of the photography studio So that affects the way that she feels about herself and the way she's looking at the world I think it was so unpredictable for her because she realized I've got to just live in the now and look at how I can build my own self confidence She has the most amazing friends around her And even though at the beginning she was close with her family I don't think she was her authentic self and really opened up to them She was very defensive and had her guard up and I really liked how she softened by the end of it I think that's what’s so amazing when a story focuses around family There's just so much to work with there we did put modern twists on a lot of the things I think that aren't really showcased much when we're portraying these kind of characters of second generation immigrants and all of that Courtesy of PrimeTV: Sindhu’s relationship with Nikesh Patel (Starstruck) was so hilarious I've definitely never seen that kind of subplot.Ashley: Yeah I thought it was really nice to put that plot twist on one of our brown leads to be desirable in the most unexpected way but then he completely flips it by the end of it I was gunning for Pia and Akshay in that date not nearly as entertaining as this one for me but I'll circle back if anything interesting [happens]...

Until earlier this year, Mukherjee worked in healthcare administration, for corporate giants like Hospital Corporation of America and Community Health Systems. But for the last two decades, her dream was opening a restaurant — one that would serve the East Indian street food she’d found over the years on visits to Kolkata, India, and London, but never Tampa Bay. Mukherjee’s family is from Kolkata, but she grew up in St. Petersburg. Her parents would cook Indian cuisine at home, but she missed the street food dishes she encountered on her travels, including chaat, kati rolls and pani puri. “I just never really found Indian food here that I liked,” Mukherjee said. “For probably twentysomething years I’ve been talking about owning my own restaurant — this was my passion project.” Helming the kitchen are executive chef Malachi “Kai” Romney and sous chef Berto Frutos. For now, Mukherjee is running the front of the house on her own. She says she is in the process of bringing on additional staff, including another chef. Executive chef Malachi "Kai" Romney, left, owner Amita Mukherjee and sous-chef Berto Frutos are the team behind Mowgli's Tiffin, a new East Indian street food restaurant in St. Petersburg. [ DIRK SHADD | Times ]I stopped by during the restaurant’s first week with some colleagues for lunch and found a fresh and unique approach that felt not just welcome but sorely overdue for a cuisine that’s historically been underrepresented in the area. The menu is short — roughly 10 items — and includes a monthly special (the “Mowgli’s Mashup”), which this month features both a more traditional take on butter chicken ($15.95), served with basmati rice and a snappy green salad, and a playful version ($13.65) where the chicken gets dusted with chickpea flour and fried, then paired with a green salad, rice, croutons and a garlicky aioli dressing.

We started lunch with warm triangles of roti — buttery, flaky flatbread ($7) — dipped in a marigold-hued curry sauce, and fat cubes of fried paneer (cheese), served alongside a warm spice-tinged ketchup ($5). The menu’s most substantial dish is arguably the Kol-KATI roll — a play on the iconic Indian street food featuring a paratha or roti wrap stuffed with vegetables, a choice of meat or vegetarian filling, and sauces. One of the highlights on the menu are the pani puri — or, what Mukherjee has playfully coined “Pop Goes the PURI” ($13.65). The dish, an Indian street food staple, features crispy, hollow dough puffs filled with a savory chickpea and potato filling and two refreshing sauces.

It was served with a side of potato bhaji ($6.50) — thick-cut spiced potato chips. We washed everything down with cups of sweet Masala chai ($8) and a creamy, just barely sweet cardamom- and mint-tinged mango lassi ($6.50). My personal favorite? The Delhi-style cold coffee ($5.50) — an icy, super sweet treat that carried a potent kick. Soon, Mukherjee said, the spot will serve beer and wine, too.

But as the small team finds their footing, Mukherjee hopes to extend the hours till 6:30 p.m. or later — depending on how the first few weeks go. “As we extend our hours, we do want to have some kind of a happy hour situation,” Mukherjee said. “A place where you can come with a couple of friends and have a drink (and snack).” Mowgli's Tiffin features a cozy dining room with seating for 16 people.
