Thinking of buying a 2015 Seneca

We are looking at trading our 2007 Alpine Coach (400 HP Cummins) for a 2015 Seneca 37tS. I have a couple questions:

1. All I can find about the satellite setup is DirecTV. Can one not get Dish on these?

2. Is there a way to boost the HP on the 6.7L motor in this rig without hurting anything? We added a programmer on our Dodge pickup with the same motor and gained a ton of HP as well as gas mileage. We’d want to consider doing the same with the RV but want to make sure the tranny will still be able to handle it.

3. Anything we need to be aware of that we’re not seeing right off the bat? It really seems like a nice coach. Just concerned about the build quality coming from the Alpine.

We have a 2017 Seneca and our satellite is set up for Dish. You will likely need to access the switches on your dish on top of the coach to reset them for Dish. Our Walley receiver had instructions for the correct settings.

As for a programmer the, mileage and power for us is adequate. Been getting 10 you 11 mpg and have no issues lacking power.

Most programmers will avoid any warranty on your engine and transmission . Regardless of what the programmer manufacturers say. So beware!

More power is great, check to see if 2500 Allison is rated for upgraded torque and hp
