Hope to see this unit tomorrow if not sold. 22k miles, under $70K. Looks well maintained but will check records. Any major complaints on this unit from forum members? We will have to drive 125 miles one way to check it out; just looking for some input from Super C owners.

We have a newer model ('09) of the Seneca 35 gs so don't know if they are the same but absolutely love mine.

the newer chassis drives nicer but good coach.

05 Kodiak have a different engine than the 06 and newer ones. LLY where the newer ones have a LBZ. Biggest difference is ECM. Does not make much difference beyond that.
Suspensions have been the same from 2003 to 2009. Manufactures made some changes in their overall floor plans. But not much else.
Jayco manufactured some models with wrong springs in rear. Should have been 15k. Jayco ordered 13.5K springs. Can be fixed for less than $1000. 05 will have a exhaust brake. Newer one have a turbo brake. Both work well. 05 will have a air compressor to run the exhaust brake.
Things to look for.
Tires may look good. But should be replaced if 05 tires.
20,000 miles is low. If not done. Fluids will need changing. Shocks should be replaced with new ones. OEM's were bad from the factory.
Overall you should like the Kodiak based MH's unless you plan to pull heaving loads over 5,000 lbs.
Best
