We bought our 2024 Jayco North Point 390 CKS in Jan. of 2024. We have had axle and wheel issues within 6 months of owning the RV. We contacted Jayco because we have had 5 Wheels crack on our RV, had to replace 6 tires, and recently we had to replace 2 axles. We told Jayco about this and that their product has put my family in danger multiple times, 1 time going down the road at 60 MPH and a blow out on the back of the RV.

Upon completing a trip with the RV mentioned, an inspection was completed of the units suspension system where it was found to be compromised. Not knowing what compromised the suspension (leaf springs, shackles, hangars, etc), further investigation was done where the underbelly of the camper was removed. Upon gaining access to the actual RV frame, it was found to have at least two major cross members completely broken off the I-beam that runs from the front to back of the camper. Not only were there two cross members where the welds had comp…

The VIN sticker and cargo carrying capacity sticker on my 2022 Jayco North Point 382FLRB have a major discrepancy. The VIN sticker says the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is 16,995 pounds, but the yellow weight rating sticker on the outside by the VIN sticker and on the inside of the door says the GVWR is 19,995 pounds. This is a MAJOR issue, because the axles on the camper are only rated at 7400 pounds each, and if someone was to load it with 5,084 pounds, like the yellow weight rating stickers lead you to believe, it would be extremely da…

Purchased this unit in Nov last year and had brake issues. Camping World has been good working to fix the issue but Dexter Tow Assist is not working. When other vehicle is attached to the 5th wheel, brakes dont work. Hooked my truck to a Seismic 5th wheel with Tow Assist, worked fine. Its not working on my unit and I have NO BRAKES. Components have been replaced but Dexter does not seem to be in any hurry to fix the problem. I have towed other 5th wheels without Tow Assist with no problem and again, the Seismic didnt have a problem with my brak…
