Did they mention Jayco at all?

No and Reese is only approved probably because Lippert is their distributor - I am sure Reese doesn't want any competition in the "approved" area. So I do not put a lot of weight in Lippert "approving" a hitch....when money is a driver...

Lippert doesn't endorse Gen Y. Although Gen Y had done testing with Lippert, they wanted big money to approve Gen Y Hitches and Gen Y decided it was not a good business decision I guess. I read on some of the Grand Design forums that Gen Y passed the testing with flying colors. But of course...

You don't like the Gen Y?

I don't really see any more chucking than when I had a traditional 5th wheel hitch. Chucking is going to happen with any setup as its caused by road conditions, Gen Y shock absorption does pretty well. They do say you need about 1000 miles of break in however.

My 2022 Jayco Pinnacle 5ver frame is Lippert. I am not to concerned with the GenY setup as the majority of the frame failures(frame flex) seemed to be the Grand Design Toy haulers. I have been using the Gen y for 2 years now without any issues.

I wasn't pointing you out...I just happened to post after you is all LOL

I have the Gen Y and certainly do not need any offset on a long bed. Friend of mine has a 3500 SRW Mega cab with the Gen y and no off set. These new 5th wheels have caps designed to give you more clearance. I wouldn't worry about an off set. My buddy tried to get a full 90 degree but...

Not sure why HP is a focus...torque is your friend when towing. Even the 18 wheelers are only pushing 450-600 HP.

I think its for video output - so may be the trailer tow camera.

I have used up all my "free" oil changes so I may try the Donaldson or this PPE filter next time.

2026 build C&C

You are asking me? LOL I don't even know anyone that owns one. I do see them in Phoenix/Scottsdale area once in awhile. Depending on your options they are probably a $190K car.
