Guess I should finally put myself on the welcome mat.

Hello all,

Been some what active in the Class C forum for a few weeks now while researching and buying a new Seneca 37FS. But now I guess its time to put my info down here.

My name is Ryan and I am out of Albuquerque NM. My DW and I have 7 kids. We had a 5th wheel bunk house before this, but having to drive an additional car around besides the truck towing the 5th wheel got to be a pain in the ass. So here we are. We were originally looking for an older class a motorhome, like a Winnebago Vectra, Mountain Aire, Phaeton, etc, but we could not find something that we all liked and worked for us. We were in a store looking around and my wife said, well lets just walk into this Class C and see what it looks like. Low and behold it was everything we wanted. Enough beds for everyone, a side bathroom, and towing capacity (we are jeepers). It may not be as good in quality as say a mountain aire or the such, when it comes to flooring, wall density, etc. but the things that mattered to me where there. A few weeks later we found the one we liked in regards to color, and build date (later 16's have the gen 3 TWH ) and went down and got it 700 miles away. First real trip with the entire family with it will be Thanksgiving weekend to go visit the family of the DW's. Hoping for the best.

Welcome.
We owned the largest of class A gas and diesel motorhomes with exceptional build quality before buying a first generation Seneca. We think at this time we have found a rig that is right for us.

We hope you enjoy your new rig and wish you many more happy travels.
