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?

The J-Wrap is under the basement doors and Columbus told me the J-Wrap runs front to back without a seam. Maybe I misunderstood them!
But my question is “How does J-Wrap go from good to bad in 6 days? Seems to me it somehow had to be stressed but am unsure what that would be?
NOBODY makes and installs a seamless Lower Wrap. Cannot be done. there is no way you could take a 35 foot or longer 1 piece J wrap and NOT kink it trying to install. Remember, the people you talk to at the RV maker have NO CLUE how they are put together. They stay in the office and usually have not been in the Production line. From the pic from the brochure, SOMEBODY at the dealership damaged the J wrap. The type exterior doors on your unit could NOT damage the lower J wrap. When a Dealer requests warranty, they have to take numerous pics of the area of damage. They then must submit a request. Odds are from what you have stated, FR declined warranty coverage as FR found there is no way that damage happened from a fault in construction. When a RV is delivered to the Dealer, there is a check in sheet where all discrepancies and exterior damage is listed. IF what you have now was not listed, the RV maker will not fix under warranty. You state it was NOT like that when you originally looked at the unit. So, it is obvious(to FR also) that the dealer damaged the unit. So, if FR has agreed to fix the unit as long as it is returned to FR, I would go with that fix. I would NOT trust the dealer at this point. Now, WHY would you think anything this dealer tells you is truthful? IF I could back out of the deal, I would, and go elsewhere to another Columbus dealer and purchase. Doug
