Frequently asked
Which has higher MSRP?
The Jayco Pinnacle 32RLTS lists at $128,118 vs $109,999 for the Dutchmen Denali 420DS, an $18,119 premium that reflects the four-season build, residential fridge, fireplace, outdoor kitchen, and 400W solar standard on the Pinnacle.
Can both be towed by a 3/4-ton truck?
The Jayco Pinnacle 32RLTS at 13,545 lbs dry and 2,510 lbs hitch weight is a 3/4-ton match. The Dutchmen Denali 420DS at 16,040 lbs dry and 3,326 lbs pin weight pushes most 3/4-tons close to their limits; a 1-ton dually is the safer fit.
Is the Pinnacle four-season rated?
Yes. The Jayco Pinnacle 32RLTS has a four-season insulation package with heated and enclosed underbelly. The Dutchmen Denali 420DS does not list four-season certification, so cold-weather use requires aftermarket tank-heater additions.
