Entertainment center to bunk conversion

Yahoo Message Number: 14403
hello all, Thx for letting me join. I am looking to buy a seneca, I am having trouble finding one with the bunk in the cab over. Have any of you ever converted your entertainment center to the bunk? How much work? Any problems doing it? And for those of you with the entertainment center does it look like it'd be easy to do? I am looking at an 06' to 10' seneca probably a 34ss or 35gs. Thank you, RJ

The one thing I see different in a bunk versus a entertainment center is vent windows. You may find someone that wants a entertainment center when you find a Seneca you like.

We just looked at one for sale that had the entertainment center AND a trundle bunk. I didn't know they even made them that way. It was a Seneca HD.

My Jayco Seneca HD 35GS (2005) has the entertainment center with the pullout bunk.

Do you have any pictures of you pull out bunk with the entertainment center?

I don't have any but I will go out tomorrow and snap a few for you. Anything in particular that you'd like me to get a shot of?

We have a 2007 Seneca 34SS with front Ent Center. I'm sure it's possible to remove it, but don't know that I'd label the over-all project as an *easy* task. While looking at our's this morning, my first thought was the electrical & wiring and how/if it could be run/concealed for the TV & electronics remount. The front bunk floorplan has a swing-arm TV & electronics mounted curb-side in the overhead, so you'd also need to design/build something for those items if you plan to have a TV.

I didn't research 09's & 10's prior to buying our 2007, but can offer the following which may be helpful:

2005, 2006 & 2008 Seneca 34SS & 35GS with the Ent Center also had a pull-out 1/2 bunk built under/into Ent Center cabinet (as Billy Piner & horsebits1 mentioned). The full cab-over bunk was offered as an option.

2007 34SS & 35GS doesn't have the 1/2 bunk... they have either a full bunk -OR- the Ent Center.

The 34SS was discontinued after the 2007 (early 2008) model year, so it's not available as an 09-10.

Links below are simply for clarification & photo purposes... I have no connection to any ad, sale, or dealer.

For comparison, these 3 still have the original pull-out 1/2 bunk:

2007 Ent Center, no 1/2 bunk... see Pic #13

Hope this helps, Terri (& Kevin)

IMO that is the best config. I wish they'd all do that.

You will have a hole in the ceiling where the wiring comes down if it is removed. And it's not cut pretty. :(

    Got some pictures for you. The usable area of the mattress measures 25 x 81 1/2" when bunk is pulled out. Let me know if the pictures don't show.
