If any issues are found, I'd sure be contacting Jayco before I did =anything= else, including driving very far.

IDK...On the kingpin off center subject isn't your kingpin position most important? It IS the point of attach to your TV of which the trailer axles should track straight in relation to. The trailer frame/box position is irrelevant... I believe measuring from the kingpin is still the correct approach and ^THIS^ guy really needs to now make sure his axles are aligned to his newly discovered off-center kingpin
Of all the methods described the plum bob off the kingpin is going to give the most accurate alignment numbers. Everything starts with the position of the front axle relative to the TV attach point
