Silly question, but I'm looking at a 2002 Tiffin Phaeton, and I'm curious what the correct pronunciation of "Phaeton" is! My instinct says that it's FAY-ton and I can't really think of any alternatives, but would love confirmation of that.

Thanks


So far, just renting, but hope to purchase our first MH (Class A) before the end of 2011, and then planning to fulltime at some point after that.

Fay-ton is correct. Take the tour of Tiffin at Red Bay, AL. You will be impressed. We were.

Your way is the way is the way Bob Tiffin pronounces it, and he owns the company.

Thanx for the link. It's now bookmarked & will come in handy.
Among other names, I've been curious about the proper pronunciation of "Prevost".
Can't afford one ... ... but can at least SAY IT RIGHT!

Heh, the way I see it is once you spend so much on an RV you can pronounce it however you see fit! ;o)


4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.
