Relatively new here and to the lifestyle - DW would like a unit that has both bunks and a cabover bunk. I would prefer a diesel truck platform for safety, service, longevity. My reading suggests at my price point that I would be comparing the Renegade Valencia v Dynamax Force v Jayco Seneca. I have heard limitations on weight and towing on the Seneca (as well as fit/finish) and while Renegade and Dynamax are higher quality, the Renegade gets slightly higher marks. Questions would be what are the key distinctions and is the new RV purpose built chassis and upgrade or is it an issue. Not looking to tow more than 10K#.

Any input appreciated.

Who made the comparison? Your on this site, go to the Dynamax site and ask your question, I have seen great c/S on it, does Jayco have that, I doubt it. Your buying more then just a comparison.

I'm looking in this same market and would love a Renegade but even used might be out of my budget. Doing internet research until i can get out and see some.
My needs are bunks, 10k hitch and diesel. Would like to keep it close to mid 30's in length

Check out Nexus Ghosts on the new International MV chassis. I believe this new chassis solves the noise and shifter issues in the older Durastar chassis (which I have).

We have bunks and overhead cab. The overhead bunk requires a ladder to get into it but works good for kids. Bunks are great for storage when not in use.

Rig's GVW is 25,999# which is just under the requirement for a Class B drivers license in those states which require that. Has a 10,000# hitch. 360 Cummins and 3000 Allison transmission.

Other than the cab wind noise, I've been pretty happy with ours.

Be happy to email you pictures.

I was going to say look at the Nexxus, also. Personally, I am not a fan of the Super C, but it does ring some peoples bells. Out here in the PNW, you are starting to see more of the Nexxus product line. Locally, in Bend, Or, Beaver Coach Sales just started carrying the Nexxus line. Its with a look id Super C is your liking.
