2013 SENECA News Flash

Yahoo Message Number: 9702
Just returned from our dealer after looking at 2013 SENECA. It is now being built on the bigger Freightliner Chassis as was used for the EMBARK (22.5 tires and all) It appears that the EMBARK is bye-bye. The EMBARK is no longer on the JAYCO website for 2013 as well. They are now producing 4 SENECA floor plans and have one very similar to the 35GS it is now a 37TS (triple slide).

The new Seneca is built on the BABY Freightliner M2 chassis. 26,000# GVWR / 33,000# GCWR

The Embark was on the bigger Freightliner M2 Chassis 33,000# GVWR 53,000# GCWR

THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO!!!

I really wish they made a shorter (like real 36') version of the Embark - its what I want in GVWR / GCWR for towing a trailer.

My Kodiak has the same towing capacity as the new Freightliner based Seneca......7,000#s But then again the old Kodiak based Senecas had about a 3,000# capacity.

Be well,

Just passed on what the dealer said. He said it was on the bigger chassis. I do know that the original Freightliner SENECA had 19.5 tires, this one has 22.5.  ??

Victor, kudo's

I just heard back from a "friend" at JAYCO and what they did was upgrade to22.5 tires and they also added air ride suspension on the rear. (that is not yet reflected in the specs)  He actually sent me the spec sheet and it is 25,500 and 33,000. The fellow at the dealership was incorrect.

Roger that!

I had already downloaded the brochure a few days before these emails started so I was on top of it as I am looking for a heavier duty coach - but prefer not longer than 36' and prefer more like 34'

That is why the Dynamax looks good s they make a 34' - but the big bunkhouse 39' Embark would be great for us, I dont want to miss out getting into some of the smaller camping spots.

Love the Seneca but unfortunately we are having to give ours up. I can no longer drive much over an hour without lost of use of hands due to diabetic issues and my wife found out this week her pain is from severe Osteopenia and she doesn't need to be driving long periods. Golden years!!
