Seneca owners with full entertainment center

Yahoo Message Number: 5305
I am looking at a used Seneca with a full entertainment center over the cab. Anyone out there with a similar Seneca? I need someone to take a look behind the cabinets too see how extensive it would be to convert it to a bed. I need the sleeping space more than the entertainment center. I know the tv cables come out of the ceiling. I think I can cover them with something. I am more concerned with screw holes and wall coverings. I would save all the pieces for a reinstall when I don't need the bed anymore.

The single pull out bed is not enough? Not sure you could pull it out and be able to re install.

No pull out bed. Full cabover entertainment center.

Eric - - - I think that would be a huge job, with numerous problems. That area, behind the TV and in the walls, has plenty of wires, 12V, 120V and TV. My Seneca already sleeps 4. To sleep 2 more, I would use an air mattress on the floor. If you have one of the older tube-style TVs up front, you could take it out and replace with an LCD or LED TV and use the area behind it to store the additional bedding.

I agree that finding a new Seneca for $90k is difficult. I believe Dane posted that info on another forum. I ran down that lead and it was for a new 08 that had already sold. Getting 2010 for $90k is about impossible at this time IMHO.

Guys I never lie except for finding Mexican eating establishments Thre of us went to the dealer in Middlebury and the price we were given was 100K asking for a 2010 and that was asking so 90K would buy that unit loaded! Believe Russ and Gary were with me! Dane  wrote:

Reminds me of a discussion I had with a dealer when we were buying our first new MH. I expressed surprise at the high markups compared with the auto biz. He said high markups were necessary solely to allow dealers to give customers what appears to them to be a "good value" for their trade ins. While it surprised me as a newbie (we bought a used unit one year earlier) I have since found the rapid depreciation rate almost makes this a necessity.
