Greetings to all. I am now a new Seneca owner.
After fighting the I-4 nightmare traffic we arrived at Orlando RV a little early for our 10 AM delivery. So of course I find my unit in the prep area and as I stand there admiring the shear beauty of my brand new 37TS as they detailer polishes the beast up my phone rings. "Hi this is Cindy, the GM of Orlando RV. I am so sorry but our detailer smelled ammonia and your refrigerator is leaking and needs to be replaced"
I decided to take her home anyway and return when the refridge comes in. Stuff happens and I appreciate them being up front with me. They said 7-10 days which is about when I expected delivery anyway.
The PDI took about 3 hours and Brett did an amazing job of explaining everything about the unit as my wife took copious notes. A couple little adjustments to the exterior compartment doors and everything else, except the refridge, was darn near perfect. I am really impressed with RV One. The manager even insisted on installing a Max Vent cover for our inconvenience.
Note: I was upset about the deletion of the graphics on the slide but as I looked today the slide walls are painted glossy metal flake black and it looks good. I am Ok with the change now.
Traffic only got worse when we departed and I am now very experienced driving in heavy traffic.
The power of the Seneca is Ok. It handles well and has good manners on the road. When traffic allowed I cruised at about 65. The whistling noise was horrible and then I remembered what I learned here, stopped for electrical tape and covered mirror holes and, Man, was my wife impressed.
As we headed south traffic got really bad, stop and go and then what a cacophony of sound from under the hood. Apparently we don't like heavy stop and go traffic. We had fan noise, compressor banging noise, a bunch of other stuff I can't even describe. But once we got up to speed all was well again, Gauges never changed. Oh, and the fuel gauge at 230 miles is less than half. Just like you all have told me. I will need to get used to all the new noises.
If I hadn't been reading this forum everyday of the past 3 months I would have been very concerned, scared and doubted my decision. But thanks to all the insight you all have shared I handled everything well and looked very knowledgeable to my DW. We are going to love this Seneca and I have many of you to thank.
