2013 Jayco Pinnacle

2013 Jayco Pinnacle

Not sure if I am a big fan of the Dark Color front and rear caps.

Seems like it would be harder to cool down here in the South !!!!

Also the bathroom sink has been changed to the Glass Vessel type bowl !!

Everything else pretty much the same.

Will have to wait to see the full body paint to have a opinion but i did find my winter project. I will be changing out all my switches and outlets to the black ones in the 2013 pinnacle.

Looks somewhat like the paint job on my 2012 Superlite HT 26.5 RLS. I think it is quite nice looking, especially compared to my old FW, a 1993 lap-sided white Jayco. I really like the coloring and am noticing that other companies are doing much the same thing on some of their trailers. Must be some reason.

I do not agree, it looks like a lot of other companies are doing a similar look.

Note, this is not a paint scheme, it is colored Gel Coat.

For example, take a look at the Dutchmen Infinity and Crossroads Rushmore, they compete in the same market as the Pinnacle and have the same Dark Brown front and rear Gel Coat Caps.

We have a 2012 36REQS with the full paint. Gold, black and cream colored. Very nice! Didn't order it that way, but we got a great deal on it as it was a show model and snagged it for 54k. I could've cared less if it was white, or brown capped or full paint. It is even more wonderful on the inside.

On another note, I know that many Keystone folks have had problems with graphics peeling off, and this new brown gelcoat might be another way of keeping the graphics intact. I really am shooting in the dark at this theory.

Most all the RV Manufacturers are going to colored Gel Fiberglass for a better look these days.

Guess time will tell how these new colors hold up to the sun and weather.

Full Paint is the best way to go, it does add quite a bit to the cost and weight. (Yep, all that Paint actually weighs qutie a bit)

We like the browncaps, had a white Avalanche before and the bugs really show on the front nose.The bugs are real bad in here in the South this time if year. The other Premiun Paint Package offer on the 2013 Pinnacle was 8200.00 dollar on the sticker. Also my TV is brown.Only had the Pinnacle (36RSQS)for four weeks, gone camping couple of time close to home and we really love it.
