It is that time of year.... Based on my experience (twice - golfballs the first time and baseballs the second), I think you will find more damage than just the cap. Jayco does build a better roof structure that the trailers I had at the time, but the size of hail we both experienced caused severe damage to my old TT. We had hits go through that roof and break the ceiling. Water in the vents and lights. Roof vents/skylight broke allowing water in, etc... Many of the plastic parts (lights, range vent) had cracks. My metal door frame was bent. Just like a home roof claim, materials can be damaged with little initial visual clues.
I posted pictures of some of that damage in the other current hail damage thread.

My initial home damage estimate was right with yours at 39K. That is now north of 70K once the actual work is occurring. There was no type of material that was safe that day. My grill lid was 1/8" stainless steel and it was dented. The roof is steel and rated for 3" hail. It was replaced due to being crushed at mounting points. The deck surfaces all had to be replaced, even though the insurance company wanted me to "pressure wash" them to solve the divots.
Take pictures, more pictures and more pictures of every little detail of house, cars, RV and any personal items. Keep them and label them well. You may need them later for claim disputes. We found the process to be a real PITA. It was not that way with a previous claim.
