Contemplating jayco pinnacle

Jayco makes a quality unit but right now I would wait and see the Designer series they are bringing back also.

ON PAPER that Designer series looks really sweet!!! BUT If you go to the page and build and price one , a bone-stock fifth wheel starts at $140,000.00!!! And a decently equipped one was upwards of $150,000.00
I have not seen any actual pictures of the trailer as of yet , just the rendering on their website . .

All I can offer is that we owned 2 Designers, a 1996 3030RKSS and a 2000 XL 3610RLTS. Both were very good, reliable 5th wheels at their price points. If Jayco had built something comparable when we bought our first Mobile Suites in 2004, I certainly would have considered it.

We have a 2011 REQS and love it. The only problem in 30000 plus miles are the 10 ply tires, Went to a 12 ply this year, we will see if that works better. Great workmanship.

We are currently pricing new units and the new Designer is on our list at this point. My only hangup will be if they use the Schwintek system on the large slide outs we will pass on it. I priced a 37RS which is the floor plan we like and loaded the MSRP was $137,500. I found that price to be even less at RV Direct before they discount it. This is pretty close to what we could get a MS 36RSSB3 for so we would have to see a Designer to compare before we would consider one.

Sorry to hijack, but you list in your signature that you have a 2015 Landmark. Are you so disappointed in the Landmark that you already want to replace it?

Way to many issues and warranty work since we bought it and waiting for Heartland to approve more now. We would just as soon move on while we still have good equity in this unit. Since we full time in it being out of it every time it needs major warranty work is costing us to much money.

And to answer your question, at this point yes we are.

Ok, well better luck with your new rig.

Subscribing as I'm interested in these units. I just priced a Pinnacle 38 FLSA with all options, came to $96,000, at an online dealer. Their price was $59,700 including delivery to Tampa.

The fit & finish in our Pinnacle is....well...beautiful and the quality of the fit and finish one can't miss. The comments we have received (have been asked "do you mind if we look") are mostly 'Wow'!!

We ordered our rig, rather than taking one off a lot that had a lot of lookers going thru them, so we could spec it the way we wanted. Didn't mind the wait at all since it was ordered in the winter.

After a couple of early issues that were taken care of quickly under the Jayco 2 year warranty our 36KPTS has been everything we expected in a quality 5ver. IF we ever had an inclination to change units it would be another Jayco Pinnacle.

This is our 'home' for about 9 months of the year and has served us well.
