  • We've been covering Brinkley RV now for over two years. They have really revolutionized the entire tow-able section, especially fifth wheels. With high-quality, uniquely designed RVs, it has become so amazingly popular that a bunch of rumors are circulating so we have come here to find out how they make these things and try to separate the fact from fiction. Don't miss the Brinkley Model Z tour!

    Great tour of the Brinkly Z. Suggestion would be to add cup holders to the recliners and sofas.
    Love your channel.

    Great review and tour. Did you notice that Brinkley doesn't use any crown trim or molding at the wall to the ceiling. They don't need to, because the walls and ceiling and cabinets are true and square, no need to cover up imperfections.

    Thanks for the tour. We have the Z3100 and love it! We had a few minor issues but Brinkley customer service has been exceptional. There are no perfect rvs but Brinkley comes pretty close 😊

    I never thought I'd be impressed by two pieces of metal that hold a chair in place. I've seen Brinkley tours before, yet it seems they added that new bit just last week! All these little innovations are the equivalent of death by a thousand cuts to their competitors.

    Thanks for the tour and interview. Looks like they are doing the right things and building a good RV. I just wonder if they keep it up and avoid going the route of others who started out doing the right things, building good RV’s, then letting quality and customer service slip.

    Wow nice rv.. only thing I would want is a bathtub. I'm still waiting for an rv dealer to put one in a 5th wheel. My cat likes the bunk room in ours. Good place for his liter box. Lol... thanks for sharing

      Problem is weight. A standard bathtub holds about 50 gallons of water at 8.345# per gallon. That's about 417 lbs. An easy 450 # including the tub itself. And you probably have to beef up the frame to carry it. And have a water heater with a high capacity. All in all, 500# off your payload and you can only use it where there's a city water supply. And someplace to drain it before you can move.
      Not impossible, but a huge committment.

    Brinkley really makes a well made Fifth Wheel, but I absolutely dislike their new table setup. I wished that they would give us an option for the original table set up.

    The water tanks why are they different colors -- one white the others are a off black !! Does this help keep the water from freezing in low temperatures ?? Are the water tubing designed to last -- how long ??

    • @Tatiacha
      @Tatiacha 2 місяці тому +1

      because white is fresh water and the black ones are waste (grey and black) water

    Looking at the Lippert frame as the guy bragged about the engineering I saw many incomplete welds and areas with only a tack weld holding the outriggers and cross frames. Potential flex and failure points. Brinkley looks like a quality build above the frame though!

    WAY overpriced for a mid pro camper. Furrion is the absolute cheapest chinese junk there is made and this thing is just filled with it. At a full profile price.
    Some things are pretty cool and some would be a hard pass pass for me, especially at that high price point.
    Cool video though, thanks
