Jayco Pinnacle · 2024–202738FBRK

The 38FBRK combines two features buyers ask for: a residential ‘RK’ kitchen across the rear wall and a private ‘FB’ master bath up front, with a half-bath added amidships for a bath-and-a-half. The raised front holds a king bedroom with its own bath, the living area sits in the middle and the full galley runs across the back. It opens on three slide-outs and sleeps four. The equipment is the standard Pinnacle package — a GE 21-cubic-foot 12-volt residential refrigerator, a GE Profile 24-inch range and 30-inch convection microwave, solid-surface counters and a fireplace — on the 102-inch wide-body chassis with Dexter axles, six-point hydraulic auto-leveling and a MORryde LRE-4000 suspension.

Jayco publishes an 18,200-pound GVWR against the 15,448-pound dry weight, leaving a 2,752-pound cargo capacity and a 2,940-pound dry pin. Two 15,000-BTU Whisper Quiet air conditioners, a 40,000-BTU furnace, an on-demand tankless water heater, the Overlander II solar package and 75/87/87-gallon fresh/grey/black tanks — with generous grey and black capacity — are standard. At a starting MSRP around $133,000, with street pricing below placard, the 38FBRK is the Pinnacle for buyers who want a residential rear kitchen, a private front bath and a bath-and-a-half in a luxury full-profile coach, towed with a one-ton truck.

This floorplan has a verified factory record for 4 model years here, 2024 to 2027, and the specification does not hold still. Across those years GVWR ranges from 18,000 lb in 2024 to 18,200 lb in 2026, a spread of 200 lb; dry weight ranges from 14,995 lb in 2024 to 15,475 lb in 2027, a spread of 480 lb; dry pin weight ranges from 2,940 lb in 2024 to 3,035 lb in 2027, a spread of 95 lb. The factory tire size changes over the run (215/75R17.5'H' then ST215/75R17.5'H'), and the load-range letter in that code is part of the axle rating. That is why each model year has its own page below, carrying only its own published figures. Nothing on a year page is copied across from a neighbouring year.

Pinnacle is Jayco's flagship luxury full-profile fifth wheel — a cross-shop against Grand Design's Solitude, Keystone's Montana High Country, Alliance's Paradigm and Brinkley. The 2026 line runs to six floorplans, all profiled in full and linked below. The 38FBRK on this page is highlighted.

A full 75-gallon fresh tank is about 626 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 23% of the 38FBRK’s 2,752 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,126 lb (532 lb per rated berth). Across 11 Pinnacle floorplans the water share runs 19% to 26%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Pinnacle 36SSWS at 21% and Pinnacle 38FLWS at 26%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).

Closest sibling: the Pinnacle 36FBTS, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 4 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): dry weight 15,448 lb vs 14,270 lb; GVWR 18,200 lb vs 17,500 lb; cargo capacity 2,752 lb vs 3,230 lb; dry hitch weight 2,940 lb vs 2,540 lb. They match on sleeps, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Either side of it by GVWR: Pinnacle 38KPTS is 500 lb lighter (17,700 lb GVWR); Pinnacle 37MDQS is 200 lb heavier (18,400 lb GVWR).
