New Jayco Pinnacle

Boy .. they're not the Jayco's I remember. There seems to be more of what I like, and a lot less of what I don't. Any of you have experience with the Pinnacle line of Jayco ..?

Our best friends who we do most of our traveling with just bought a brand new Pinnacle 36KPTS and it is very, very nice. They traded in their older Foretravel Class A (one of the highest quality motor coaches made) and are impressed with the quality, fit and finish of the Pinnacle. We have a '14 Jayco Eagle Premier TT which is pretty much their top of the line TT, we love it and it has treated us very well with lots of use and miles, but that Pinnacle is so much more of everything we like about ours. We will be retiring in about 5 years and there may be a new Pinnacle (and 7.3 gasser dually) in our future.

Had a 14 Pinnacle 36kpts. Trouble with the scwintech slide system in kitchen and bedroom. Trouble with electric 4 point auto level system also. Replaced it after 2 years Jayco could never fix the problems.

Congratulations ..!! Please share it ..
We currently have a Lance Truck Camper and an Arctic Fox Travel Trailer. I'm beginning to think it may be time to let the Arctic Fox find a new home. The new Pinnacle's are impressive .. There aren't that many 5th Wheels I'd consider over the Pinnacle.

Not a great shot, but it's the best picture I have from this past weekend's outing. This was the maiden voyage for our friends new Pinnacle 36PKTS, we checked the function of every feature and system with zero issues noted! My Wife and I are looking to do some full timing after retirement in a few years (as are our friends with the new rig) and at this point from all we have seen (we go to a couple of RV shows each year, including the giant Hershey show) this model offers the best bang for the buck at this level of quality currently available and would be our choice too.
Here's our '05 EX and '14 Eagle 338RETS TT and their new '18 F-350 Lariat and Pinnacle 36PKTS.

While looking at a few really small trailers (2020 Jayco 154BH, Baja Edition) to make my hunting excursions easier for me, the salesman showed us the North Point and Pinnacle 5th wheels. Wow! Not the Jayco class that I remember! Eventually we will get a 5th wheel to travel the country, and we'd pretty much decided Grand Design was where we were going to land. However, after seeing and researching these two Jayco's, we may add these to the list. We actually preferred the style and floor plan of the North Point (315RLTS) over the Pinnacle, but either would be nice! The biggest difference we noticed was the trim features and wider shower in the Pinn, but we preferred the pantry being next to the stove (N.P.) vice in the forward bulkhead (Pinn). The wood cabinets in the Pinn were also a little darker than we would want. Hopefully you Jayco owners will continue to comment and post pictures on here so we can learn more through you! Just can't get over how far Jayco seems to have come.

We have the NP 315RLTS and love it. Love the layout, and all the windows. The 2019s also have a window over the stove which is nice. We stumbled on the NP by accident last year looking at others (including GD) and knew it was for us. We felt it was very nice for the $$.
