Been there, done that
After years ago we had one break just a few miles from home. Didn't feel or see it until we got home and saw the smoke. The tire had rubbed the floor and started a small fire. Had to replace that...

I am hoping your fix will work for me as well. I didn't say so in my post but I too have a 2015 Pinnacle, a 38FLSA and we just love it. This is our 4th RV including a Pace Arrow motorhome and the...

My 2015 Pinnacle FLSA doesn't have any outriggers. The only thing under the slide is a cable run assembly. I guess I should be glad but...

Need clarification please
I'm really interested in this thread since my 2015 Pinnacle has not had these issues, I think.
Problem is I can't be sure because I don't know what an outrigger is in this contextand what is a sub?

Cameras
The Chevy commercial says there are, if memory serves me, 15 cameras in the package. As an engineer I can see lots of failure mechanisms that cost big bucks to fix. I'll pass.

Hot start
Had this issue before. When stopping the starter solenoid gets hot which increases the resistance of the coil windings. There.may be a tech note on it so check with Ford. I'd bet that is the...

Why buy an RV?
Our 2015 Pinnacle is our 4th RV and we absolutely love it.
Yes, we've had problems but Jayco was great during the warranty period and since.
I equate it to "why have kids?". Kids are expensive,...

I hope all is well with yours now. Mine seems fine. Did the shop show you what they were doing along the way? Mine did and I took some pics of the frame work. Much more robust than I thought.
