RE: C on a GMC Topkick With DuraMax 5500?
Jayco makes the Seneca line on the Chev C5500 chassis with the Duramax diesel motor. It is the same chassis as the GMC Topkick. There are Jayco dealers through out CA, Manteca Trailer & Motorhome in Manteca is where we bought our Seneca.

RE: Seneca Tires
Apparently the G107s, made in Luxemburg and Russia, are no longer available in the USA. It looks like we are going to end up with Goodyear G647s on the front and the G107s on the rear.

Seneca Tires
Hi all.
Found a problem with one of the Goodyear G107 tires on our Seneca today. A bead wire is protruding through the tire just where the bead and sidewall meet. The tire needs to be be replaced but local Les Schwab indicates this tire may no longer be manufactured or may be difficult to locate. If necessary, I might buy two new tires for the front axle and re-locate one of the G107s to the rear.
Does anyone know if a Goodyear G670 or of another 245/70R19.5 tire that might be suitable for a Seneca/Kodiak with Duramax?
Thanks in advance.

RE: Great Service at Jayco Factory
and unexpectedly replaced the closet latches which they assured us would break.
We had to have one replaced at PDI. Another Jayco owner suggested reversing the sliding doors when stationary in a campsite to reduce the number of times they need to latch. Works good for us.

RE: seneca switch
just pop off the front of the dash and work from there.
Thanks az99, but, this sounds a little intimidating. How is the dash popped off?

RE: seneca switch
It is the emergency start switch. Sure wish they had put the engine exhaust brake switch next to the OD switch in this same panel, it sure would be easier to reach than across to where it is now located. We added the SuperSprings instead of the 19K springs and they did help. We feared the 19K springs might produce too harsh a ride.

RE: Jayco Seneca: review after 10K
vasselta,
We have had similar experiences with our Seneca 34SS which we bought 11 months ago. It has been in the shop for almost half the time we have owned it. All of the problems could have been caught by a good quality control department before leaving the factory.
And, Jayco's supposed great customer service must have evaporated. We have had rather snooty replies to emails and we have found they usually just don't return promised phone calls. We would sure think twice before buying another Jayco product.

RE: Suspension upgrades on 07 Seneca HD 35GS
8KCAB,
Ours is also on a 2006 chassis and was built about a month earlier than yours. Since they were built after Oct, 2006, I believe Chevy lists them as 2007 models. If you would like a "build sheet" for your rig go to The Diesel Place at http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=72 and request a VIN check. Within a few days you will have all the RPO codes and lots of other information specific to your MH. Also, presuming yours is so equipped, The Diesel Place has tons of information on the Duramax motor.

RE: Suspension upgrades on 07 Seneca HD 35GS
8KCAB,
Look behind the driver's sun visor in the cab and you will find the RPO codes specific to your rig. If you find one with GQO you have the 15K rear springs. If you find GN2 you have the 19K springs according to GM's 2007 Online Order/Reference Guide.
I agree with everything that ASA Glamis said in his post, except, I've added all those upgrades plus a front trac bar and my Seneca still doesn't handle quite right. I've heard a lot of good comments about adding a rear sway bar in addition to the stock one and that is what I'm considering next.

RE: Onan Exhaust Fumes at the Wrong Time
We had the bathroom vent open (but with it's fan off) and the cabover vent open with it's Fantastic fan on low pushing air out in order to pull fresh air from the bathroom through the rig at all times while the AC was running.
Is this customary? I always thought the rig should be closed up so the cooled air could recirculate without introducing warm air.

RE: Inverter Brand in Jayco Greyhawk 27DS
The key to having a successful TV situation up front is to replace the 14" flat tube with a newer LCD--otherwise, you will have to fire up the generator before turning on the inverter for the TV, then shutting the generator down once the TV comes on-?!-
I wonder if this has been the problem with mine? Is this because of a high inrush current when the TV is turned on? I've been suspecting this and wondering if a larger capacity inverter would be the answer.

Good old La Honda. We grew up in Redwood City and passed through La Honda on the way to the beach whenever we cut school.

vwlovr,
We use a local recycling company that has an 80 foot scale. Costs about $10. La Honda, CA, is that just west of Woodside?

RE: Inverter Brand in Jayco Greyhawk 27DS
Not sure about your MH, but our 2007 Jayco Seneca has a Xanterra 400 watt inverter installed on the floor under the bedroom closet. It powers only the entertainment center outlets and is, IMO, too small to do the job. We are on our fourth attempt, via our dealer, to get one that works. Thank goodness for Jayco's 2 year warranty.

RE: weight distribution
Our Seneca 34SS weighed with normal camping gear, clothes, food, 3/4 Fuel, 1/3 Water, 5 /8 Propane, driver, one passenger and 3 small dogs:
LF = 3060 - RF = 3100 - Front Axle = 6,160
LR = 6660 - RR = 6760 - Rear Axle = 13,420
It is time to weigh it again as we have since collected more "stuff" and added a satellite dome.

RE: Sway Bar for front of Super C Kodiak
Thanks again dcowley, I'll surely look into that Roadmaster rear sway bar. I also have the Super Springs and believe they, and the other mods,did help somewhat.
