UVW for Seneca 37RB?
Considering purchase, can't find UVW or CCC on Jayco website, only the GVWR.
I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to install Hydralift motorcycle lift and carry my HD motorcycle. Would result in hanging about 1100 lbs off rear of frame. Hydralift says they have had good success with Senecas and other Super Cs.
From website the GCVWR is 33000, GVWR is 2800.
Thanks!
Wes

Hydrolift
We have a 2014 ts that I had a lift installed . Works great,the only problem I had was we had some rough roads down in Louisiana and the bike bounced up so the Latch came unhooked and the bike lowered down to the tow bar for the car.the car was back far enough that it didn't hit it but it bent the tow bar .

I would check the weight on the rear axle. On one thread one of the fellows had a scale weight of 21,000 on a 17,000 axle with the hydra lift. He soon changed to loading his bike in the bed of the toad.

WOW.......
17000 to 21000 that's 4K lbs,
Someone is Blowing some smoke....My StreetGlide may weigh 800lbs
I can't quantify the weight of the lift but can't imagine more than 5-700lbs.
all things being equal, that's 13-1500lbs....
Anyway....I've seen several on Seneca's including a friends 2015 as well as one on a 2014 Tiffin Breeze.

Just saying what the fellow who posted the information said. He was reporting on his Class A coach with lift and motorcycle.
The OP reported the bike and lift being 1100 lbs. The load is as you say but there is the cantilever effect that has to be taken into account as well.
Weighing the back axle cannot be a bad thing to do.

Would love to have actual data on rear axle with loaded Hydralift. Seems to be plenty of margin with CCC, but the axle is my concern as others have said.

It would be as simple as taking the coach to a CAT scale and getting an actual weight on the axles.
Hanging the lift and motorcycle on the back will increase the load on the rear axle and reduce it on the front axle. It looks like the Seneca has a fairly long distance behind the axle.
Is is fairly simple to take the weight of the motorcycle and lift and calculate the net effect the weight will have on the back (and front) axle.
It should be sufficient to use the distance from the rear axle to the center of the motorcycle when the lift was up.
