What is J-Wrap?
Hi guys, my fifth wheel is still at the dealer awaiting J-Wrap and I’m going on four weeks. I’ve done a search but am still not sure what J-Wrap is and why it takes so long to get it?

Hi Jerry, I didn’t realize it was under the slides. I thought it was something to do with the basement doors?
I think what has surprised me most is it seems the Coach builder is building new coach’s while coaches they’ve already sold, sit! That doesn’t strike me as a good business model? I get the supply chain and all of that. But some of it is a conscious choice where the parts go!
Have you ever been in business? You would shut down your production line and idle hundreds of workers(NOT getting paid) to ship parts out that were dedicated to production? REALLY? Most RV makers make upwards of Hundreds of Trailers a week. Would YOU be happy if you had a unit on order and they told you it would be extra weeks or months to get your unit because someone OTHER than the OEM damaged a unit? Remember, The Major Car makers kept producing Cars and Trucks because there was a shortage or certain parts, usually chips. NOT because they were supplying chips to consumers, but because their suppliers could not produce due to covid and/or shipping snafus. They usually do NOT have the J wraps in stock for aftermarket sales or warranty. In normal times, they can get those parts within a week and ship out. Doug
Doug:
Maybe the OP will post whether he has PAID in FULL *before* delivery,
-OR- if he is waiting for his 5th to be delivered (only pd a deposit) with the missing J Wrap.
(IMO) - I'll bet he (not the dealer) "owns" the RV.
BTW - you have a pie in the sky attitude in re: Quality Control -and-
the workers are most likely "piece workers". The missing J Wrap is not their problem...:)
OP - Which is it....:@
