Hi and thanks
So glad we found this nice forum. Wanted to say hi and share our woes at the moment. Achieved empty nest 4 years ago  Moved up from a 24' 2003 Cougar TT and bought a 35' Jayco Eagle 291 RLTS fifth wheel. We are excited about pulling a fifth wheel for the first time, had a new Pullrite hitch installed Friday in our 2005 Ford 250 diesel truck. Went to pick up our Eagle yesterday and the capture plate was not there. After hours of scrambling the dealer says sorry the one we have won't fit because your trailer has a very rare pin box. So we weren't able to bring our new Eagle home. Now we are told Monday morning they should have the right plate. So now we are researching this problem...thought I would see if anyone here knows which plate we should have just in case. Thanks again!
Larry & Peg

Congrats and welcome. Is this the first JAYCO they've sold? Sounds like a typical "we messed up" excuse. Can't be 100% sure, but pic looks like a Mor-Ryde pin box which is on many FWs.

Congratulations on the new 35' Jayco Eagle 291 RLTS fifth wheel and welcome to the JOF. Sad to hear of the "challenges" you are enduring with the dealer on the hitch. So far, we have been blessed with our dealer and Jayco. Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Thanks everyone, still more woes...
Yes, the plate arrived and we got it home yesterday afternoon. It was a great day packing it up and being happy after the disappointing weekend....then we discovered the toilet wasn't holding water. Nice aroma everywhere. Now hubby is back at the dealer this morning discussing what to do. We thought the $695 pre-inspection charge was supposed to cover this type of tragedy. Been watching videos on this Thetford Aqua Magic toilet (pretty sure thats it) and how to replace the seal but should we really have to do that? 
Thanks for listening...I'll update with the next part of our story as soon as I know.....

Yes, you are right, if they are going to charge for the inspection, they should have fixed it. Personally, I refuse to pay a dealer to make sure they are letting me buy a functional product.
Regarding the toilet, often just some lubricant on a gloved finger will do the trick to stop a leaking ball valve.

I agree. A new blade seal is most likely the culprit.

Toilet fixed!
So the hubs went to the dealer and got new valves to repair it. But he kept saying it looked like it was missing something. He dismantled the whole thing and sure enough he was right. The toilet was missing the white platform that the ball sits in. He went back to the dealer and they found the part in a broken toilet that was sitting around. Brought it home and the toilet is now like new. Not sure why someone would take that out of the toilet unless they were kinda dumb or wanted to sabotage someone. We're hoping they were just kinda dumb. Trip is on again!
