Nice. One of the few times I don't have some nit-picky criticism, though the Schwintek bed slide could be pointed to (but far better than a cable slide). I really like the back end, looks like a Class A.
2022 Jayco Pinnacle 32RLTS, I like the Jayvoice, especially if you enter the RV in the dark, Say "Jayco" pause " living room Lights" and they come on. Great when your hands are full. Also, works great going to the dark bedroom. Works well in my opinion. One downfall, maybe...is it will not recognize my wife's voice....LOL It has selective hearing 🤪
@@alanb.4660 thanks! I have an f150 but feel like if a 250 can't pull this then idk about the RV life. I can't see affording a 350 nor would I want to, they are not good looking trucks imo
Love this Rv! Love the hard wood cabinets. Love the colors. I would get this with full body paint. Love the bedroom. Nice to have all that space. Thank Josh big fan of this Rv!
I agree, I love this model. I'm thinking I might order one, I have always wanted full body paint but the new standard body looks really good. To me, it might look even better than full body paint. Plus the paint has already been out a few years. I wish they updated that also. But I am truly struggling on weather or not to order FBP.. oh, the decisions!! 😂
I love the full-sized king bed and the 6-point leveling system in a shorter 5th wheel, and I like the high quality and finish. Camp side windows are superb, table and chairs are best, and I am so happy they also included a convection microwave. The TP holder inside the under-sink door is the same as our Newmar and it is great, you will love it. As for colors, I guess Diamond, but I wish manufactures would use more blue tones. If we were 5th wheel people, this would be high on the list. Oh, it does have a sexy looking rearend.
Thanks for the review! Very helpful. I am looking at this unit, would you get the abs with sway control or the independent suspension with disc breaks? Thanks!
I think they do the toe kicker slide in the kitchen because it gives them more room to add bigger water/waste tanks underneath. Correct me if I am wrong. This is a beautiful 5er!!
Hey Josh, another great walk through. This would have been our new RV but we couldn't get passed the toe stubber kitchen and floor vents. So after 2 Jayco RVs we're waiting for our Brinkley to arrive.
Z2900 for the larger floor space in the washroom, closet at the entrance and North South bed for night tables and more quiet for sleeping@@JoshtheRVNerd
Really nice rig. I wish Jayco would install low profile ac units from either Dometic or Mach 8. I'd expect that from their top of the line models. Also, is this on a BAL or Lippert frame?
I'm not familiar with any BIG fifth wheels like these on a BAL frame. the FWs I have seen on a BAL frame were typically smaller and nearly no FW builders use that now Sorry - short answer: Lippert frame Each mfg has lippert make their frames to their specs. About 6 years ago jayco had an issue with a north point model flexing. They had lippert add extra bulking to prevent it on ALL their floor plans. Not a coincidence jayco frames are heavier in weight, more costly, and their name has been all but absent from flex conversations
I’m pretty sure you were on my flight from Fort Wayne to Dallas this morning. I hoped to catch you to let you know how much I enjoy your channel, unfortunately I missed you when we deplaned. Keep up the good work!
Question on door window shade… why do you prefer it to be bottom up? In my camper, the door shades were that way, I flipped them to be top down. What is the advantage of it being top down?
I could do without the shelf thing by the table (I know it would lose the outside tv too - not an issue), and chairs and just have a freestanding table with 4 chairs with storage in the seats. I HATE THE PLEATHER! Plenty of room in the bedroom as we would opt for a Queen
@joshthervnerd, there is an option for a 3rd awning for the 32RLTS, can you please explain where that is located by chance. Appreciate the video, always looking forward to see what you are reviewing.
Wow! Josh if that's the smallest of Jayco's Luxury line of RV's what else can Jayco do? Looks Great so far👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊 I'm going to finish watching the rest of of your review l8tr 2day👍😊
ok, i have to know how your keeping the bed locked in the up position? i have seen you do this on our model the jayco 25rb and i dont see how it is locked in the up position. ya, i’m a newbie.
Anyone else but me seeing the open mouth face on the cabinet above the “coffee counter”?? 🤣🤣🤣 looks kind of like this -> 😃 except a square mouth and the handles make the eyes. 🤣
Hey Josh...your suggestion was Perfect!!! Love it....just change bathroom fan and for Me change out gold hardware. Nearly Perfect!! Thanks alot Josh! 🤗💙
This floor plan has been out for quite a while so there’s definitely plenty of people with one. Though a properly equipped single rear wheel 1 ton could work I think a dually is the smarter and safer answer overall
@@JoshtheRVNerd Regardless of make or model, I think they all should be located on the rear bumper or inside a storage compartment for easy access and have two of them for redundancy and safety. I guess I must be the nerdy nerd of the class, because about three or four years ago, my son and I drove from IL to TX with the cargo trailer to pick up the family sleigh 🛷 and we had two flats in two days both left sides with only one spare. Obviously I had to buy tires and rims so after that experience I don’t want to pull a trailer without a minimum of two spares. Perhaps I’m gun shy now or just overly prepfull; regardless having a flat on I-35 or anywhere else isn’t pleasant. And being a 55 year old old fart with more of a spare tire dad bod than you, It’s getting hard to move around on the ground, so don’t knock yourself down; you’re still a pup yet but you’ll graduate with the rest of us old timers and catch up. 😆That’s why I can appreciate things like spare tires 🛞 in convenient places. Let’s meet sometime for pizza and Coors Light. First round on me. Thanks for everything you do professor. I believe you are changing the industry. I enjoy being in your class. Cheers 🍻
Spare works great...just like a truck spare. I've had them on bumper and in basement...underneath is the best. 17.5" tires you only need one spare...not two.
We feel this is the competitor to Brinkley. Look at that front cap storage area. It’s all boxy and unusable. Might as well get the gen at that point. No more chair storage. Still Our Fav…
Pro Tip...Face forward when in road mode and trying to get to frig. Much easier to hang gut on and over the ledge facing forward than rubbing gut against the slide edge.
Voice command is a kool feature. Love the special water to the tap and fridge. Actually the air conditioner noise doesn't bother me at all. We had a drop at type right over the sink stove area. So it was right above my head while I cooked and washed dishes. It never bothered me. Night light are a nessary in rural areas, I use them in my house now, one in each bedroom, kitchen, bathrooms and even 2 in each end of my T shaped hall. Yeah queen bed, I'd still prefer a double for 1 person, but it's still kool being able to have a real queen. Washer/dryer please! I don't like 5th wheels but this one ticks off my entire list of wants! Only downfall is the steps to the bathroom. Is it possible to take out the steps and put like a Tommy lift that goes up when you step on it stays up untill you step on it again to get back down? Generator yes and the largest Solar package I can get! Of course I'd have the factory third air. Not that I'd run all three at once, I only use the one air in the area I'm in. So how cold/hot will this model be safe in for an extended peroid of time?
Someone on a different channel was doing a review of an RV which had sticker wrapped draws. The first one he pulled out had the sticker pulling away from the particle board. He said "Oh! They'll fix that when you pick yours up." Or words to that effect. He went onto say that a sticker covering the pulp was an "upgrade". Really? He had to be kidding me! It's the worst crud possible. Ok. So the price was $25k below this one, but the extra cost here is well worth it.
I wanted a GD but because of all the "Frame Flex" issues I have decided the Jayco would be better. I cant find any newer (few years old) videos or anybody complaining bout frame flex in a Jayco. I don't know about their customer service but if there is no frame flex, hopefully we don't have to use them to find out!
@@JoshtheRVNerd: No, Josh, all three of my FW’s were Kestone products. But, if you look up countless videos of their brand new fifth wheels being torn apart due to frames cracking, (which I actually believe it is due to our shi&$y freeways and highways,) it is a serious problem, which could hurt not just the person towing it, but others beside, behind said vehicle. I honestly don’t even know why I care about this, as we are downsizing to either an Ember or Geo Pro, but the video evidence is clear. The company who welds the frame for their fifth wheels is not competent. Watching today work force, it’s no surprise.
“Frame flex” is designed into most all wheeled chassis’s. Some flexing must happen to prevent a sort of rock on rock outcome. “Frame FAILURE” is a different beast. A very large number of 5th wheels with frame failure in the gooseneck area have been in older RVs and the majority were second owners. Not an excuse, just laying out the stats I’ve found. Having an overloaded unit, especially in that over-cab area, can cause this. An overweight condition period can contribute. Seems a significant number of folks don’t get on a CAT scale to weigh their GVWR and the axles. Some load the storage areas well beyond that GVWR and don’t balance that cargo. BTW, with the reading I’ve done Grand Design has the majority of complaints. In fact, I’ve only come across a couple of Jayco’s. I feel for these second owners. They have no idea how the unit was driven (rough roads, etc, are no no’s) and they’ve no idea how long that first owner drove it overloaded. I feel for them.
Mine is sitting in my backyard right now. Delivered three weeks ago.
It’s a beautiful thing, retiring in May and hitting the road.
Wow congrats!

Flat ceiling 👍
With that many windows, needs power shades 👍 I don't need to skip arm day
I could see the power shades in something like this actually
I was wondering if this would be ideal for an f250?
nope, would be over payload unless you have a 2wd, single cab, gasser, with no passengers.
@@alanb.4660 thanks! I have an f150 but feel like if a 250 can't pull this then idk about the RV life. I can't see affording a 350 nor would I want to, they are not good looking trucks imo
What? What difference is there between a 250 and 350 other than payload?
The bathroom storage area is always way too deep anyway so it makes sense to integrate the space into the pantry! Really like this model!

I do too
Could put books, newspapers, small games and such in the dining chairs. Where would you put a CPAP? The shelves beside the bed don't look big enough.
They wouldn’t fit on those stands for sure. You’ll need to come up with a solution like a little bedside stand
Thanks for the review! Very helpful. I am looking at this unit, would you get the abs with sway control or the independent suspension with disc breaks? Thanks!
Unless I were going down steep inclines I’d stick with the abs
I think they do the toe kicker slide in the kitchen because it gives them more room to add bigger water/waste tanks underneath. Correct me if I am wrong. This is a beautiful 5er!!
It can definitely help

With it halfway up from the bottom you really maintain privacy while still being able to peek up/out easily
I like the sand finish.

Can you please do a video like this on the new 2025 38KPTS
Brinkley has the sway control, ABS and all.
Yep. Same system on the G’s

Why has everyone not gone to the pullout storage behind the shower wall making it much more convenient so you’re not reaching way back to find stuff?
Probably costs and extra six bucks lol
We prop our emergency window up. With a stick
lol whatever's clever!

What is the pin weight
2395 pounds
3200 lbs. scaled pin weight for me with Generator and 4 x 6 volt batteries upfront loaded to camp.
Is anyone towing this rig yet, if so what size truck. Do not want to buy the wrong one.

Pretty aggressive pricing.
I think they have some crazy factory-forced pricing policies. Often our sale price figures are blow what we're allowed to even advertise
After watching countless videos here on the tube about “frame flex”, I would never buy a Pinnacle. Their customer service is pretty lousy.
would love to hear and example of an issue you have had with Jayco?
Have you personally had experience with their team? They recently were ranked as one of the very best and most responsive teams in fifth wheels
