We toured the new Brinkley Model Z and Model G at the Tampa RV super show and we have to say these RVs are GAME CHANGERS! Attention to detail and quality improvements are all just a fraction of what Brinkley is bringing to the market!
The All-New Brinkley Model Z â Mid-Sized Luxury Fifth Wheel is in a class of its own. Featuring an automotive exterior
with a residential interior, yielding NO COMPROMISE. Itâs destined to change the RV ownership experience. Whether youâre
a weekend camper or a full-time RVer, the Model Z offers features and amenities that will appeal to all camping enthusiasts.
From 7k axles, H-rated Cooper tires with 17.5âł wheels, flush floor slides, and a class-leading 79.5âł bed & bath interior
height, to name a few. The Model Z has a combination of high-end features unheard of on a Mid-Size Fifth Wheel.
The model G RV is currently a prototype toy hauler fifth wheel with a built-in Rockford Fosgate sound system, outside refrigerator, air compressor, fueling station, and more.

No side tables next to the bed. Very needed for those of us on CPAP therapy.
GreatâŚno valences
They are nice but where would the kids stay? The toy hauler is nice but where do you put the toys and kids? Like when the weather is bad. Are you going to want to move the beds and put the toys everytime you go sightseeing? Just curious. đđđ
Kind of impressed. Just not as worthy as you make it sound Charity!
They look like they took alike of YouTube videos of remolding and incorporated it into their RVs. They look great, and they will be expensive.
Dear Brinkley, please make a Class A. Thanks đ
great review, thanks!
We love it!! Weâve been wanting to see a review and you nailed it!
Wow!!! That's awesome!! Great use of space. A toy hauler with a basement, that is definitely a big plus.
âThey actually take them out and live in themâ -love that.
Nice to see a new brand thinking like a real RVer.
Like the pull out closet in the bathroom.
Pretty cool! But in this economy, already having seen Vanleigh close their doors, and Winnebago not yet having released the new Journey, it's going to be tough for any new launch to succeed. That said, some of the things you featured are certainly game changing and I hope to see them promulgate throughout the industry.
Thanks for another great video, I want a Brinkley so bad. We'll have to get a big dually truck for the toy hauler, maybe sell our house to afford them both, LOL!
Beautiful RV and amazing storage, light colored walls and cupboards, love the trimming around the windows, such fabulous changes! Love Love Love
Great tour.
Anyone that comes with âbuild qualityâ will disrupt the rv market. The glitz and glam is cool, and the options are nice. However the build quality is what we are sick of đ
Thank you for the terrific video. It always looks like y'all are enjoying yourselves as you put the videos together. Laughing, smiling, and having fun makes the video that much more enjoyable, in my opinion. Regarding the Brinkley, this is the third video review of the Brinkley Z that I have seen, and each video seems to uncover features that the other reviewers missed or chose not to cover. For example, all of the pull-out storage areas are just so cool. If I were in the market for a new fifth wheel, I would be trying to arrange a plant visit to Goshen, IN, to talk with the manufacturer and the designers. It's a beautiful and innovative RV. Thanks again for the great video. Lou from Georgia.
You guys did an awesome job on this video! Thank you for taking the time to talk with us in Tampa! Cheers!
Thank you! When I get one Iâll be living in it full time
If I had the money the model g would be the on I would like to have. I love that company's look outside of the normal way of thinking.
There are still details missed…such as, in the toy hauler that waterfall island will swing up and land on the black pull under the cutting board to increase counter space and turn the kitchen into a U.
Can't wait to see how they finish the toy hauler, as it's perfect for my needs! (And I do not even plan to haul a toy đ)
I've seen a lot of RV Youtube channels showing off the Brinkleys lately. I think it's going to be tough for most folks to justify $100k+ for an RV with the economy downturn. They're about 2 years too late…
That toy hauler would actually fit your family's needs, Grateful Glamper! If you ever want to switch to a 5th wheel, that's your boy.
I love your content! Thank you for this! The stereo wars hahaha
Brinkley is very cool but You missed the knife pull down holder and the extension on the counter.
You've mentioned your Glamper Hideaway a couple of times. Can you tell us about that?
I like how they did the door frames too!
Ordered my Brinkley 3100Z right before Christmas. Canât wait to start new adventures in it. The things that had me: 1)tankless water heater, 2) the shower, 3) stackable washer/dryer prep, 4) elbow room on both sides of the stove, 5) a designated place for trash cans and paper towel holder, 6) the retractable 65â fresh water hose, 7) standard solar package, 8) over-all interior decor, 9) Ok, I ⤠everything about it.
Really nice details! Quality matters! I would love for these guys to design and build an diesel pusher!
The things that stood out to me:
1. The shelf above the window next to the bed – I LOVE an end table to keep a glass of water, a nail clipper, and my phone, so I LOVE that they give us at least something in this layout. I never pick this bedroom layout because of the lack of any end table space.
2. The drop down utensil drawer – such a smart use of space
3. The trim around the windows – sharp and clean, yes please
4. The square windows. I agree, love the square windows, again very clean. Though I'm not sure if I'd want a pop out window, I think I'd like one that you could slide one side to the other and fully open the window on one side.
Oh, wow, that's a very thought out unit. You know what caught my attention? No caulk!! I spend so much time caulking and checking the caulking on my unit. I love it!! KUDOS!!!
They already have, more to come later this year from them!
Oh, I can see your family living in this beauty!!!
I don't know if you saw it, but in the Model G the side of the kitchen island counter actually comes up to form an extension/bridge that anchors over the cutting board area to make a HUGE counter. These things are amazing! I hope these really do shake up the industry so we see these kinds of innovations across the board. The magnetic TP rack in the bathroom is also very cool, but I think my favorite detail is definitely the adjustable shelves in the pull out pantry and pull out linen closet.
I've been coveting the model G since they first announced it. Another good thing about the Brinkley, flat floor slids, so no toe knockers. Especially in the kitchen slid, every other one I've seen has a dang toe stubber that comes out about 4inches or so. How are you supposed to get close to the stove without tripping?
Hoping to get one of these when they come out in the fall.
Donât like the windows! đ I like my windows to open wide! Hate air conditioning !
Also donât want my bed on the driver side! Donât want to be in my neighbors yard when in bed!
Nice. Lots of storage. Thanks!
I spit out my pop laughing when you said âomg I legit canât get it to go back inâ lol the shear panic on your face. I laugh because it is the exact same face I have when I do stuff like that. The same face that says: IM NOT KIDDING IT WONT WORK! Lol lol đ
Well itâs surely nice, I canât say itâs not but the question is this:: everyone is raving over this fifth wheel and accolades galore. Will they be problem childâs like the not so great grand design models that folks complain about on you tube? Will they stand behind theyâre workmanship? Will they jump on the warranty issues without dragging it out? I certainly would like to see them accomplish all of that unlike some of the others whom talk out of the side of theyâre mouths. The last three years are gone so itâs time for all of the manufacturers to step up to the plate other wise they too may shutter the doors. Sounds dismal but we spend big thousands to buy a rv. Great video! Bens my hero!!
That is really nice
Am THRILLED to announce we FINALLY got our motorhome back TODAY! 1/25/23! Just 3 days short of 4 months since we hit an elk returning from camping in Colorado! It wasnât insurance (they paid exactly 1 week after the accidentâ-Safeco Insurance), it was the repair shop that screwed up..over and over! Be careful in choosing a repair shop for ANY RV. Most insurance companies wonât give a ârecommended â shop. We selected one with great reviewsâŚthen the owner went goofy, and sold fast to someone else and only then did repairs actually get completed.
Having owned my insurance agency for 18 years but in insurance for 46 yearsâŚbe careful! Donât go cheap on ANY insurance..we didnât, and lucked out that the repair shop ate about $4000 in supplemental charges due to their ignorance.
