  • Why I Bought It: The Jayco North Point 377RLBH —Spacious & Road Ready

    Derek and Laura Czaplicki’s first camper was a 27-foot bumper-pull, but over the years, they became more and more interested in fifth-wheels. In November 2020, they decided to upgrade. “We went to a lot of RV shows, trying to get an idea of what’s out there, and made a list of must-haves,” Derek says. After a lot of research, they settled on a 43-foot Jayco North Point 377RLBH. According to the couple, it “checked off all the boxes.”

    Right off the lot, the camper lived up to the Czaplicki’s expectations. The fifth-wheel was located at a dealer about four hours from their home in New York’s Hudson Valley, and on their first drive back, Derek felt a huge difference. “With a regular bumper hitch, you have to be really careful about your weight distribution,” he says. “But, to me, the fifth-wheel felt much more stable with the weight of the hitch directly over the axle.” And even though Derek uses a single-axle pickup—as opposed to a dual-axle—he says he’s never had any issues towing his Jayco in the four years they’ve owned it.

    Along with towing, the layout is one of Derek’s favorite things about the North Point. He feels the rear bed gives them the most space. Laura appreciates the versatile bonus room, which the family uses as a guest bedroom for Derek’s mother and their daughter when they come along on trips. “With the extra bedroom, we don’t have to worry about making up the bed every day,” Derek says, comparing their setup to a convertible dinette or pull-out couch in a one-bedroom camper.

    Before the Czaplickis bought the Jayco, they went on the Made in America Music Tour with Fantasy RV Tours in their old camper. “It started in Nashville and finished up in Branson, Missouri,” says Derek. “We met so many great people. It was probably our most memorable trip.” Now, the semi-retired couple is excited to make new memories in their fifth-wheel on another trip with Fantasy RV Tours and head west to see the Grand Canyon and Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.

  • Meet the 2025 Jayco Pinnacle 38FBRK Luxury Fifth-Wheel

    Everything about the 2025 Jayco Pinnacle 38FBRK Fifth-Wheel is impressive. So much so that it’s hard to know exactly where to begin. The well-appointed luxury RV comes with a very long list of standard features that are sure to appeal to a broad range of travelers. But it is its innovative floorplan, comfortable and inviting interior, and excellent build quality that make it so intriguing to a wide range of travelers.

    Built with couples and full-timers in mind, the 38FBRK features a primary bedroom that includes a king-size bed, privacy doors, and a massive walk-in closet complete with washer/dryer prep. An en-suite private bathroom features a residential-style shower, porcelain toilet, and a spacious vanity, adding a further touch of elegance to an already great space. The 38FBRK’s living room area is just as impressive as the bedroom and is a relaxing place for entertaining guests. This Pinnacle floorplan in particular, is famous for its proprietary radius sectional sofa, with built-in reclining theater seating. An electric fireplace creates both warmth and ambiance, while a roll-top dinette with four standing chairs serves as a gathering place for meals and socializing. Nearby, a flexible work station adds convenience and functionality by doubling as a coffee bar or desk. A midship half-bath is easily accessible from anywhere in the cabin.

    Spacious and modern, the Pinnacle 38FBRK’s kitchen further enhances its appeal. The GE Suite of appliances includes a four-burner stove, convection microwave, an air fryer, and a traditional oven, giving camp chefs all of the tools they need for perfect gourmet meals on the go. An onboard dishwasher makes clean-up a breeze, while a large single-basin farmhouse sink, a residential-size refrigerator, and a pull-out cutting board above the trashcan add further convenience. Numerous overhead cupboards and a pullout pantry offer ample storage. But all of these exciting features are just the tip of the iceberg for the 2025 Pinnacle. Dig a little deeper and you’ll discover a fifth-wheel equipped with residential heating and cooling systems, efficient insulation packages, and optional double-pane windows, giving it true four-season camping capabilities. Tech-savvy RVers will also appreciate the trailer’s JAYCOMMAND smart multiplexing system, that puts control and monitoring of lights, climate, the holding tanks, and other features right at your fingertips. Multiple charging stations are conveniently located throughout the cabin, keeping digital devices charged and operational at all times, too.

    One of the Pinnacle’s signature new features this year is its integrated NuvoH2O Water Purification System. This whole-house solution works with both a city water connection or while boondocking, and features a citrus-based softener that filters up to 5,000 gallons of water to remove scale build-up. That translates to safer and better-tasting water that won’t stain the RV’s shower or toilet. Other features of note include two powered awnings, an exterior entertainment system, Dexter axles with antilock brakes, and towing assist. Efficient LED lighting is used inside and out, and is included in the JaySMART safety feature, making the fifth-wheel more visible to other drivers. A JBL sound system keeps the tunes playing both inside and out. Optional upgrades include a 5,500W Onan Microquiet generator, an outdoor kitchen, multiple solar packages, a Truma on-demand water heater, and more.
