Tiffin Allegro 36 LA or Jayco Seneca37 RB?
I am considering my first motorhome. I've recently looked at the units in the topic. I love the interior of the Tiffin, but prefer the chassis of the Seneca. The Seneca felt better driving, more na...

Look at my sig and you will see that I am prejudice. I prefer an A over a C. I also do not have kids and would not benefit from the space over the cab.
We have had a Jayco Kiwi Too (guess where I got my username from) 28R TT and a Coachmen Aurora 3480DS Class A.
My Angel and I have had the 36 LA for about 6 weeks. It handles and rides like a dream. There is plenty of power and it can tow 5000 very well. There is a "Dynamat" type of heat and noise shield from end to end. This makes it very quite, on the road or at a CG. This is an extremely well made coach. The floor plan is excellent. Water and electric are well positioned and setup is a breeze.
We did a 2 week trip from WA to IL. It handled the mountains pretty well. Our Coachmen had a V10, 2 valve, with a Banks Powerpack. This one is the V10 with 3 valves. We are not planning on adding a Banks. On the steepest hill, in the Rockies, we did drop to 45 for a short while. It will cruise at any speed up to 75. All while towing a Saturn Outlook.
The only thing we are missing is a pantry type cabinet. We are looking at making a small one in the cabinet to the right of the MW.
For addons we have the Dometic 4 door fridge with ice maker, 7000KW gen, 15K AC with heatpump, bedroom TV, JVC dash nav/stereo/XM ready, fireplace, power seats, all seating is ultra leather, vacuum cleaner.
True decadence. Solid construction from compartment doors that open side ways (reduces the stooping) to the steel fraiming, to the hida-air-bed, to the slide outs to the cabinetry. The tile floors make it very easy to clean.
We were fortunate to find this one and absolutely recommend this coach to anyone. Go through everything and I doubt you will find an issue with the workmanship.
We cannot compare it to the Seneca, as we know nothing about the Seneca.
