In the video below, join Mike Drudge from Vogt RV World and take a tour of the brand-new 2024 Jayco Seneca XT 29T Super Class C motorhome.
Starting outside, I was impressed by the huge amount of storage under the RV and the stylish full-body paint job. You’ll find lots of pass-through and additional cargo storage. So if you like to haul a lot of gear, this one has you covered. Motion sensor lights illuminate these areas so you can always see what’s going on.
I like all the fiberglass on this unit, too. The front and rear end caps and the roof are all molded fiberglass, which means fewer places for unwanted water to leak in.
Spacious-feeling interior
The interior also impresses, starting with the fact that there is no slide, which means less to break. Nonetheless, the interior feels spacious.
A HUGE U-shaped sofa fills the back area, giving it plenty of seating space that, of course, converts to sleeping space. You can comfortably seat six or more people here. And when converting to a bed, it all folds into a single ENORMOUS bed. You don’t even have to convert it manually! Flip a switch on the wall and the seating folds itself into an 80” X 96” bed automatically.
Of course, you will find another bed over the cab. That one is rated for a whopping 750 pounds, so know that you can comfortably sleep more than just the kids up there.
The Lagun-style dining tables store away when not in use, further opening up the living space.
I always like layouts with a central bath—and this one has it. Taller folks will appreciate the height in here. Our host in the video is over 6 feet tall and he has plenty of headroom to spare. I also like how Jayco reinforces their shower floors for extra stability.
The backside of the bathroom wall is used for coat hooks and hanging storage.
I will say this layout makes the kitchen floor space a bit cramped, but it’s still workable for a single cook. I do love the HUGE farm-style sink in the kitchen and the convection microwave.
Refrigerator options include an 18-cubic-foot residential-style refrigerator or a 15-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator.
More nice features of the 2024 Jayco Seneca XT 29T Super Class C motorhome

What can be improved?
As I mentioned above, the kitchen is a bit cramped. I also prefer a gas/electric fridge, but that’s me—and I know this option is going away in most new RVs. Also, it only has a 2-burner stove, which seems small for this size motorhome.

Seems pretty cool for the most part. But (of course), not a fan of having to ‘dismantle’ the bed every day. I don’t like “farm sinks”, even in our sticks and bricks. It doesn’t look like there is much in the way of storage for clothing unless you fold everything. And while they install offroad tires on this rig, the automatic stabilizers hang down low, both in front and in back. This decreases the ground clearance they claim you have. This is a two-person rig for sure (which I like).
Earth Roamer doesn’t have to worry about this as competition – ha.
Earth Roamer is about double the price though. And I agree on farmhouse sinks. Good catch on the stabilizers.
A lot of people seem to like the one big sink though, so that is a personal preference.
To me, the “farm sink” makes washing dishes a pain. I need two sinks. One to wash in and one to put a dish drainer in. I don’t know how the so-called farm sink even got started as the latest thing. Maybe we can blame Chip and Joanna. 😉
For a 30 footer, it has a lot of nice features although I’m not a fan of dismantling the bed and also hard to get out of it in the middle of the night. Just my opinion, but that’s not my idea of “stylish full body paint”…Lol
Seems nice, but price is steep. Not fond of Ford. Had a 2021 F150 hybrid and had lots of issues and recalls. would rather a GM vehicle.
