2016 Seneca
Just ordered a new 2016 Seneca and thought I would pass on the 2016 Enhancements.

Thanks's bugsw1 for the copies of the updates. We too are looking to order a 2016 Seneca, the HJ floor plan. The interior colors was what I was missing to compare with the 2015 to what have changed.

I like the air brakes upgrade for sure. Hope to see one of these units at upcoming RV shows. Any idea on the build time?

Dealer told me 7500 for new models. Air brake units might be mid year or until they run out of 2015 chassis.

Nice,
Were buying a 2015 37RB and like some of the new features on the 16's but I am very happy with the price I'm paying as the 16's roll in.

I've been looking at these also but I'm new to the hobby. Their website shows gvwr as 28,000 lbs and gcwr at 33,000 lbs. You can only tow up to 5000 lbs, is that correct? It seems this would be able to handle more than that or am I not understanding this correctly? I have a 24' enclosed car hauler I want to tow with a 10,000 gcwr but I'm only towing about 8,000 lbs.

It's 10K....not sure if you can safely tow 10K but that's the rating, typically Gas Engines are rated to 5K...
We were in NY at the dealer crossing t and dotting i's, the biggest deals are the Leftovers.
I'd say airbrakes would be the biggest new feature, but power has worked up to this point, I wouldn't for the right moola pass on a 15 because if it, IMHO...

You are correct but only if you fully load the MH. GVRW is max the MH can weigh and GCWR is the max the MH and vehicle being towed can weigh combined. So if the MH only weighs 23,000 lbs the way you load it, then you'd have 10k to reach GCWR of 33k.
You also need to make sure you do not exceed hitch rating, tongue weight, or rear axle weights.

If you need a full 10k in towing and still want to load your coach up. You might want to look at Ghost by NeXus, or Dynamax or Renegade Super C.

Thanks KC, I think your right. I've been looking at the Ghost and Dynamax but I"ve never heard about the Renegade, I'll have to check them out too. I just feel safer being overbuilt than running maxed out.
