Smaller Pinnacle on deck.

Popular floor plan, wide body, might not need a dually to haul it around and short enough to fit in almost any park, campground, etc.

Meet the 2019 Jayco Pinnacle 32RLTS.

Looks great but I wish they would wait till they have the specs to show with the floor plan, unless I missed something.

You didn't miss anything. They are all TBD right now. I heard there is a dealers homecoming next week and expect they will be able to see one then so might be more info available coming soon.

They have the sleeping capacity. The difference between 4 and 5 must be based on having a "friend" in the king bed to make it 3.

Edited: Actually, hide a bed sofa (2) in rear and Euro "Bunk" above (1) plus main bedroom equals 5 according to a video I saw.

Had to Google that to find out what it was.

Normally just my wife and I so sleeping capacity isn't important to me. I want to know tank sizes, hitch weight, water heater capacity. I won't buy a unit if it doesn't have a 10 gallon water heater. Our first 2 trailers had 6's and once you experience a 10 you'll never go back to a 6. All that quick recovery stuff doesn't mean a thing when you run out of hot water while showering. I did the "navy" shower thing long enough.

The 10 gallon water heater option is great if you camp with city water hookups. If you're running of fresh tanks and pump, it makes 4 more gallons of your water capacity unusable. Once the holding tank runs dry, the 6 or 10 gallons in the water heater are essentially stuck in there. Something to consider for boondocking.

This was also a concern of mine...
Our last (much larger) RV had a 10 gallon heater. Our new Eagle has a 6. To be honest, we haven't noticed any difference (and we don't Navy shower). The gas burner in our 6 seems more powerful that what the 10 had.

If we were concerned about running out (like we were taking back to back showers for 3 or 4 people) there's always the option of turning on both the gas and the electric heaters...but we've not found that to be needed.

We generally just use electric when we are on full hookups, and haven't noticed a shortage of hot water. I think the newer, smaller heaters must be better designed. More like a tank-less, demand system.

Agreed. I'm fortunate to have an 80 gallon fresh water capacity [twin 40's] which lasts 4-5 days with everyday use. I run out of grey water capacity long before my fresh goes dry. I now take a 5 gallon bucket and drain off some grey water and pour it in the black tank.

Still doesn't give grey/black tank holding capacity like they used too. Where would you find that info?

They had a smaller one in 2016 when I got my FBTS. This one is still the same height as mine just 4ft 6 shorter and 1k lighter. They need to make one not as freakin high. That is where most problems come in. Funny they no longer list outside height just inside.

I probably would have bought this one if it was available when we bought our KPTS in October of 2017. We love the wide body but would have been happy with the 36 feet length. We were split between a smaller heartland big country and the Pinnacle but there were too many minuses with the BC, the 32 Pinnacle would have checked every box.

Oh well, no regrets, it’s been a fantastic trailer and only 7 weeks away from our first month of warmer weather camping in AZ. Can’t wait!

Don't know why Jayco doesn't list the capacities of the grey and black but a bit of poking around on dealer sites shows the following consensus:

Fresh Water (including WH) - 75 gal
Grey Water - 87 gal (2 tanks - 50/37)
Black Water - 50 gal

Here's a link to the most detailed one I found:
