Jayco says: "The all new Jayco Pinnacle is more than just another fifth wheel: it’s the culmination of over 40 years of innovation and experience in the rV industry. From our Culinary Dream KitChen with expansi-View floor-to-ceiling dining area windows to the Gel-360 exterior shell to the tranquility BeDroom suite, everything about the Pinnacle has been redesigned from the ground up, for a revolutionary new level of affordable liveability and comfort."

A Roaming Times' reader says:
"This new Jayco is our 2nd Jayco, and we are very happy we stayed with Jayco! No problems with either Jayco! And our buddies with other brands have leaks and other issues with theirs. The most standard equipment, the best price, and quality cabinets and construction by real Amish craftsmen! And the 2 year warranty is icing on the cake, from a RV company that has been in business 42 years and still belongs to the original family! Floorplans and models for anyone, big families or just couples, entry level beginners or vetran rv folks! They have something for everyone!."   Jayco fan

Re: Jayco Pinnacle fifth wheelCharlene and Paul-Houma, LAWe have a Jayco Pinnacle that we bought new in 2011 and have had nothing but major problems. 2 slid motors out, water heater out, front and back jacks out, corian counter cracked, alarm broken, now microwave/convection oven out and they say they cannot replace. Jayco is the worse company I have ever had to deal with, they are rude, not helpful at all. They will not return your calls and put you on hold forever. We will have to hire an attorney. The list is longer, these are just some of the things wrong. DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM JAYCO
Re: Jayco Pinnacle fifth wheelChArlotte of Edm. AB CanadaOwned a 2011 pinnacle fifth wheel. We started with a 2007 27BHDS then upgrade to a 2009 31BHDS. Last year we bought the Pinnacle (children rarely come with us now) and I love my 36 REQS pinnacle!!!! An avid jayco fan!!!! BRAVO!!!!
Re: Jayco Pinnacle fifth wheelPam RoseWe have a 2011 JAYCO 36REQS Pinnacle. Never regretted buying it. Can only recommend Jayco.
Re: Jayco Eagle fifth wheelPeg1944Like fifth wheels, like Jayco in general (we've had 2 of their RVs, both good) and the Eagle in particular. Our floorplan is real nice love the main living area and the bedroom. This RV is better than our home.
Re: Jayco Pinnacle fifth wheelbuzzzThis is cool but I've never had a 5th wheel they look really difficult to tow and travel with. All my experience is with travel trailers, is there really a difference in handling and towing?
Re: Jayco Eagle fifth wheelSteveI have a 2010 fifth wheel. We had a few issues with the slides. They would not open for a few days. They were in sleep mode. Called the factory and they advised what to do. I thought this problem was going to tie up our vacation but it was minor. Just tap the switches for the slide out and it works. No repair. Everything is excellent and we love it. This is the first Jayco that we owned. Use moth balls to avoid mice and wall sensor.
Re: Jayco Eagle fifth wheelHeatherWe have a 2010 Jayco Eagle 5th wheel. We are having a problem with mice and can't seem to get rid of them. Does anyone have any suggestions on how they might be coming in? We just purchased it in October and are sick that this is happening to something so new.
Re: Jayco Eagle fifth wheelToriWe have the 2006 Eagle fifth wheel. This is our first fifth wheel and I've got to say Jayco is the way to go. Really nice layout and we've had very few problems. I'm a Jayco fan.
2008 Jayco Eagle 351RLSA fifth wheelwestcoastcopWe have the 2008 Jayco Eagle 351RLSA. This is our 5th new Jayco...and again we are pleased with the buying experience at the Dealer...and are yet again continue to be dazzled by the quality, workmanship and incredible attention to detail! And so many things not listed in the brochure are standard. Jayco's are built by a company that is still owned by the original family, 41 years ago. They aren't like some of the RV companies that make 30 different brands...Jayco just makes Jayco! They have a 2 year warranty that they actually have no restrictions on. Some manufacturers void your warranty if you full time or use it as a "residence"...not Jayco! And the double stacked structural steel frame instead of cheap flimsy aluminum frame. Real oak wood cabinets and drawers instead of particle wood used in other brands. Tinted Safety glass standard. About 20 items are standard on Jayco that are extra cost options on other brands. And Jayco uses name brand stuff on their RV's...not cheap crappy no-name appliances. Goodyear tires, Atwood heaters and water heaters, Sharp DVD TV's, Samsung microwaves, etc. And you'll find if you do happen to have problems (our last 4 Jaycos never had any issues!) the Jayco folks say that they treat their customers like family...and they DO! Jayco gets ***** 5 Stars for sure!
2008 Jayco Eagle 315 fifth wheel fernand lucierl like every option on it and the finish is super. l have a problem the fuse 35a at the batteies burn all the time .it looks like when l take the fuse of the charger it is ok but where is the battery charger there is not enough explanation on the booklet. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 4/5.
