2020 JAYCO FIFTH WHEEL PINNACLE Structure Problems

Jayco pinnacle 37mdqs, frame crack issues. Contacted Jayco while still under the 3-year structural warranty. Jayco stated, there was nothing they could do and sorry for the problem. Lippert frames are the issue and trailer is parked until it’s able to be fixed. Insurance won’t cover it due to being a known issue with frame mfr.

The frame failure on this Jayco Pinnacle 36 ssws 5th wheel RV is an issue across all company product lines where Grand Design is the most talked about on You Tube. Essentially, the frame welds crack and/or the frame itself cracks usually on the front overhang where the pin box attaches to the truck pulling the 5th wheel causing outer cracking of the exterior fiberglass. The frames are usually manufactured by Lippert. The steel used in the frame does not stand up to the flexing as a result of moving down the highway. I would like to see an investigation into this problem as the frames need to last more than two years on an item that costs over $100,000. Dealers don't take responsibility, manufactures don't take responsibility nor do the extended warrantee's take responsibility. The consumer is the fall guy for the sale of poorly designed and engineered RV's....
