JAYCO Seneca batteries January 21, 2015, 04:47:11 pm Yahoo Message Number: 14017I looked at a brochure specs for the 2007 house batteries, it said there were only 2. How difficult and expensive would it be to add 2 more.? Would you also have to have a bigger converter and Inverter? Quote Selected
Re: JAYCO Seneca batteries Reply #1 – January 21, 2015, 06:43:25 pm Yahoo Message Number: 14018yeah I have two house and two chassis batteries. The batteries last fine while camping. It's while it's sitting unused that something slowly drains them all, even with the negatives disconnected. I believe I have found the problem, there is still a hot that feeds the converter.. according to Jayco.Gene Quote Selected
Re: JAYCO Seneca batteries Reply #2 – January 22, 2015, 08:46:53 am Yahoo Message Number: 14019I added 2 additional batteries to MH last summer. On my Endura there was a open panel area directly across from original batteries. Made my own mount the used bolt holes already in chassis frame. By the time I added cables new batteries and other items I had over $300 in project. Would cost more if a dealer sis it. Not sure where you could add new batteries to a Jayco. I seem to remember someone did it.BestRon Hall Quote Selected

Re: JAYCO Seneca batteries Reply #5 – January 22, 2015, 02:41:19 pm Yahoo Message Number: 14022I met Troy last spring at campground. His MH is the model my wife and I like. The engine is pre DPF. A good thing.For a 8 year old MH it is in great condition. You are already aware of the items that need attention. Best to make a visit to see if the Floor plan fits your needs.BestRon Hall Quote Selected
Re: JAYCO Seneca batteries Reply #6 – January 22, 2015, 02:59:18 pm Yahoo Message Number: 14023yes that no DPF is a good thing, it used to add to my cost. I have looked at that floor model in the past and I am ok with it, It will pull my horse trailer so I think with the addition of a couple of batteries and tires it will fit my needs. Thank you for the help. Quote Selected
