Seneca Idle Speed

[SanTanSeneca]

I have a 2018 Seneca 37HJ, at Idle with foot off of the brake in drive, i am moving along at 5 mph, this seems fast to me.
Is this other Seneca owners experience?

Never checked the MPH but what does your Tach show as RPM?

[SanTanSeneca]

Idle RPM is at 700 rpm.

Drove ours today... at idle, it does want to start to roll... I suppose that it COULD get to 5MPH on smooth pavement. Our street is not level and if I let off the brake, it could be 30+ MPH at the bottom of the street in idle.

And... Welcome to JOF (Jayco Owners Forum) and welcome to the family of Seneca owners.

Assuming that San Tan Valley is in the PHX area... we will be down there later this spring as our friends just bought a house there.

I don't think you need to be concerned since your idle RPM is within spec. Maybe you have a slight downgrade where you are noticing the speed.

We are on flat land no grades. Thank you for the feedback and thank you for the welcome!!

My Accolade is pretty much the same. It wants to go so who am I to complain.

Welcome to the family. West valley here, out near Luke. My Seneca idles at 700, I’ve never paid attention to the idle speed. Will next time I drive it.
