A projector, something we didnt think we needed, but now we love! ❤ And the windows are beautiful. And no dinette is so thankful, im sick of those things, they fill of so much space in the rv so fast
WOW! I'm blown away. This is hands down the most amazing small couples camper I've seen. I've been wanting one of the NOBO RVS models but now I want this. Just Amazing
😍Super WOW! This is the most beautiful, functional, practical first-timer's camper I've ever seen.😍 I'm NEVER disappointed with Brinkley, always challenging what's possible. Way to level up and crush competitor models.
One of the most exciting things to happen to the RV industry in years, if not forever. The new tech being used and the fit and finish will hopefully provide enough competition for the other brands to make them jump on board of the "we can & need to do better" bandwagon! If I lived close to this facility I would love for the chance to help create these campers in any way possible!
I think it’s a must to have a window and a door even though you still have good window coverage on the camp side. With a shade opening from bottom up. If someone is knocking on your door in the middle of the night, you don’t wanna open that big picture window to see who it is. You want to be able to pull that shade down on the door and peek out so I think that’s a must add! Everything else. I absolutely love.
Allow twin beds to be ordered from the factory with 20% down or something. You can still have the under bed space and center shelves/sidestands. No big change. Or, have pull out drawers under the beds. The dresser of drawers and above hanging closet can move to the center of room between the beds. Leave the beds 2-3 inches from the wall to allow air gap and to put sheets and covers into. The space for TV can go into corner of room with swivel mount
I went to the Toronto Fall RV Show on Friday for the last hour because I only went to see Brinkley's. My grandson wanted to see the 3950, but surprisingly this model was there. I was so excited to see it in person. Loved it! Thanks Brinkley and Layzee Acres.
Very nice rv. Look forward to the bunkhouse model in this segment. Floorplan suggestion would be from Hideout 28bus or 31dbs. Brinkley is definitely making great quality rvs.
I would like to see a bunkhouse with a door separating the kids from the rest of the rv. We currently have a GD Imagine 2910BH. We do like our trailer. And yes, I pull it with my 2016 F-150. Weight is good and I think 34’ is optimal length for the truck. Don’t think I would want to go much longer. Oh and the bar is awesome along with the tv. A good sound system would be nice.
Hope this is at the Toronto RV show this coming week, saw a preview youtube video from Orillia Ontario come out an hour ago, so we're excited and hopeful this RV will be at the show.
This looks great! I love the drawers in the bedroom and bathroom, exterior and inertia's modern design. I wish there were space for four people to eat and sleep as well as more kitchen countertop space.
OMG YES!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! Our son trashed our SUV so we bought a truck that we were able to afford on short notice. Wasn't able to tow a single Brinkley which about broke my heart and now you go and do this!!!! I can't wait to see this at a show!
Very exciting! Just saw the heavy Brinkley trailer at the RV show and we were very impressed with the construction quality. Looking forward to a trailer I can tow with my F-150!
Agree, this 7300 lb (9000+ lb loaded) trailer is fully within our F150 Lightning towing capacity. We've towed even larger 3 slide trailers with ease, so a single slide like this with premium finishes works wonderfully for 1/2 tons like ours.
@@EBKRV412 Hopefully they make some floorplans that are slightly smaller in length and weight in this line as I like Brinkley RV. But yeah I agree, at around 30 feet (give or take) and 7,300 lbs. that might be okay to haul it across town but I wouldn't trust towing it any distance with my half ton. I have seen far too many half tons jack knifed on the highways because they were just towing more trailer than they should be.
The smaller the travel trailer, the less likely it should be fitted with the “solid” style, swing-out steps. Many of us take small travel trailers places where these can be hugely prohibitive. I’ve been in tight campsites where if I had those steps I literally would not have been able to get into my trailer. Consider offering under-mounted steps, at least as an option. Frankly, I think they’re always better, which is probably why they’re all you ever see in the motorized market, but evidently some people like those huge, bulky stairs. But when you go off-grid, which is why many of us want smaller trailers, they’re restrictive. I’ve even been in rest areas and parking lots where they would have prevented me from entering my RV due to how close the parking spaces can be. I don’t understand their attraction. If you’re bothered by the RV shaking when somebody enters and exits, they make stabilizers that go under the fold-down steps, so that takes any benefit these huge swing-out contraptions purport to offer. I’d love to see the industry ditch them, but they especially have no business in a smaller unit.
First impressions are this thing looks amazing! We havr been shopping for over a year and found brinkleey about 9 months ago and were blown away with the quality. We have a half ton so none of the previous models were an option for us but we heard wispers of a half ton in the works and were eagerly waiting ro see what you came up with. This does not disapoint. It looks fantastic snd will no doubt get to s of attention on youtube and at the shows and deservidly so. For us personally the 7300 lbs empty is at the very top of our weight, particularly when considering an average load out but we also understand that given the quality of beinkleys the trade off is weight. We absolutely love everything from the bedroom back its a nicely done flipped litchen from what others are doing with all the extra quality we would expect. Love the talker window at the sink and we like the breakfast bar. I like habing the storage under the table but an electric fireplace might also be a good option. Love the bigger fridge and even more so that you can get to it with the slide closed. The projector is a cool addition but i agree the quality needs to be high in terms of durability and image quality, otherwise an oled on a televator motht make more sense. We love the bathroom layout. Hoping it has the larger vent fan but couldnt tell. I love the look of the front windshield, dresser and the underbed storage all three are significantly different than anyone else is doing but for us i think we would prefer no windshield, standard hanging closets in the side of the bed, do the under side drawers like some of the other floorplans and remove the standing dressor and out in an exterior door to the bedroom for 100% full travel access qith slides in. I personally would also rsther it have 20lbs lp tanks rather than 30's to save a bit of weight and to be able to swap them if needed. I dont know if it has auto leveling or not but that would be something i would expect at this price point. I would also assume some level of solar as standard. Generally am absolutely fantastic prototyp and we are excited to see what production amd future models come out. I also like what i am guessing is over rsted tires and suspension packages to get the height payload capacity but again i think i would be very interested in a torseuon suspension with abs and sway control at this price snd quality point. Great job and keep up the amazing work!
Hey Ryan, Awesome new unit. Rosie and I met Nate and Micah a ways back at Grand Design. Since then we bought a Z3100 which we love. The Brinkley team has always had our back. Good luck on your new venture. Burlington Bill busking on the road and on you tube.
Love the new design! Love the table slide out, great for work or meals. Love the fact you aren't staring up at the ceiling to watch TV, would be awesome if it was a Samsung projector so could miracast videos). Only thing missing, big off grid solar package and the cupboards beside the bed to hang clothes, lights are nice but missed opportunity for more storage.
Well I love Brinkley for its quality. Know more you add the heavier it will be. Hope this model has options we can swap out. Like I am solo traveling with my dogs so don't want a booth. Just table and chairs. Would like a patio on back if possible. But I can wait till other versions of this model gets produced. Just wish the video was at a slower pace. Older now and eyes don't move that fast. As one commenter pointed out having things on floor is difficult for us older folks or persons with disabilities. But I love Brinkley products. You got to pay for quality these days.
I love this floorplan! I have a GD 2600RB, which this is very similar to. But this model improves on everything that I would want to improve from that! I would just worry that the price would be well above what I would be able to afford for the half ton towable. I find the half ton towable's desirable because I can use the truck that I spend 90% of it's life, driving around town, and, not towing. Having to foot the cost of a 3/4 ton truck, primarily to tow a trailer, when that is only about 10% of what I'd use it for, is not cost effective.
Now you're talking!!! I hope I get to see one soon at a show. I trust that you have thought about the potential of a big solar build; either after purchase or one that you provide. Super excited for this model.
Think it's great trailer and hope the projector TV isn't washed out if you have light from windows during the day. Not sure about the windshield purpose, someone mentioned cold and hot issues, which makes sense. Love the idea of full-body paint exterior. Wish all models had Full-body paint I'm excited for Brinkley future models
Thanks for the great feedback! The projector is a game changer! The front glass is almost twice as thick as standard window with integrated black out shade and radiant foil to keep the heat out!
First off. Love the rig. It's truly amazing. Not sure how they pull of the projector as there are a lot of logistics there that are tough in an RV. Forward facing sound. Plugging in additional components (HDMI routing). Screen throw range and ability to upgrade. I have built several theaters and there are very unique challenges to projectors. I love them, but if the screen is ~50 inches a TV is far superior and cheaper. Personally I moved away from projectors with 4k OLEDs being a thing. The quality of an OLED is just so much better you can't go back. Drop a 55" LG G4 in a rig and that is end game quality right there. Sound cannot be ceiling only either. Need forward facing speakers as there isn't enough room in an RV for downfiring to not feel like the talking is coming from God :P While I would love to see a 5.2.1 in a rig. That is hard for a company to pull off for weight and cost. Doable sure, but hard.
Looks great and right in time as I’m retiring in less than a year. I’d love if you could make the exterior LED’s be able to switch between white or amber. Amber going down the road would be 🔥! Sweet looking trailer. Hope that projector is bright HD!
Thank you for leaning more into the design elements that make Australian and European much more interesting than the typical American style campers that I've seen.
Thanks Brinkley! Love the creativity, the sleek look, the projector, under bed storage...looks great. Can you give us a hint on length and price... or do we have to wait? :)
Love it! We recently downsized from a heavy duty truck to a half ton as I just did not have the need for a HD truck anymore. We have been considering selling the motorhome too as our kids are almost adults and soon it will be just the wife and I but we would still like to have a camper for weekend trips and maybe the occasional road trip as well. I hope there will be at least a couple different floorplans and sizes available to choose from in this lineup.
My only suggestion would be to get rid of the individual loungers and have a pullout sofa that sleeps too. Many couples have their grandkids or friends visit and it’s nice to have a trailer that can sleep four.
While thinking about the lightweights and half ton towing. Please think about using wide stance axles and torsion axles. Towing my 30’ spring ride RV with 33” spread axles at 6,000lbs is a different experience then towing my work 30’ 9,000lb torsion sprung wide stance box trailer. The box trailer is rock solid on the highway without sway control.
Love this lightweight design. It's a perfect couple's trailer. The only element that I dislike is the pop-up hanging space under the bed. It looks like the items would get wrinkled as the box is not deep enough for the clothes to hang straight. I would prefer fewer dresser drawers and a standard hanging closet. The underbed storage would provide additional space for folded items. Also, I would love a remote control bed to allow for sitting up and reading - which is impossible to do with a curved front headboard. I look forward to seeing this model in person!
I am with some of the others the window over the bed in the bedroom is a negative. We are currently in the market and looking for a different trailer and I was hoping.🤞🏻 I like the quality and innovative touches on your other beautiful rigs, but this would not be for us. It’s beautiful but I can’t imagine parking next to someone with all these lights and screens. I was hoping you would have more of a smaller off grid star 🤩 my husband is retiring and we want to see National parks. We currently have a toy hauler 30 ft we love the floor plan and the ramp deck for a patio, but don’t like the height for maintenance as we are aging. (We are wanting the bigger water tanks and battery/generator options for off grid but not more than 30 ft. and only 1 slide because of weight.) We have had two toy haulers and the first for 19 years the second we purchased a few years ago. We fell in love with the floor plan, big mistake the quality is not as we would like. It will be lucky to make 5 years, for a toy hauler that’s saying something. They are normally pretty tough. Best wishes keep up the good work and good customer service! The reviews we’ve seen are good 😊
Likes: under bed storage, projector, remote controlled window shade, bathroom, 12V appliances, 7300 lb dry weight, 50Amps. Dislikes : queen bed (king please!), gas cooktop (induction please!). Nearly perfect for our F150 Lightning electric pickup to tow and offgrid camp.
I am curious to the frame and cage of the travel trailer, What type of material? How did you achieve lightweight? What is the actual weights associated with this model?
@@smartelectriccar When did they state aluminum frame? It looks like steel to me and the only mention of anything aluminum was the aluminum painted exterior skin
Hey @Brinkley let me know if I should test a unit for you!! Give me the details for some off grid glamping!! National Grasslands are beautiful so let me take one there!! I'll design the bunks into it while we are gone 😉
Would love to know weights and measures when you say big suvs! I hope you do realize these suvs can’t actually carry 7-10k? I hope it’s actually light weight like you say! 4k-6k max!
It would be great if you could also have it as a total electric option instead of gas cooktop have induction cooking. I’m sure I can’t be the only one that doesn’t like gas. I had a gas grill blow up in my face one time so I really would prefer the option to have electric.
Interesting, but the Brinkley prices usually don't match the lightweight segment. I'll be interested to see the MSRP on this unit. I suspect it will still be far outside the budget for most who don't live in their RV. Camping a few times a year is hard to justify spending $$$$$$.
Why can't Brinkley make smaller/lighter tandem axle trailers with a murphy bed and dinette similar to a Nobo 20.4 or Winnie Micro Minnie 2108DS but with Brinkley quality and design elements?
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! Look at the Vibe 2500SP and move the stupid middle bar/tv ridiculousness to make a bar with barstools on the back wall window!!!! Then with the opposable slides you can add in a kitchen island! IT WOULD BE THE PERFECT COUPLE/SINGLES TRAILER! PLEASE! Opposable slides are the BOMB with a kitchen island... wide open back windows for view..... projection systems remove th need for ridiculous TV's which most of us dont use anyways..... closet space in the bedroom can't be compromised either.... for those of us who go long term camping several times a year. under 30', half ton towable a MUST! You guys are so close!
Who wants giant window for a headboard - especially one with a big logo on it? Add a blackout window shade so the owners can sleep at night, but have more light in the space during the day. The logo on the window is still too much.
Very Nice, even though no weight was listed, Im guessing this is pushing it for most half-tons. Would also like to see a molded front cap, window in the door, fireplace, and not a big fan of the gold hardware (way overdone lately, and looking a bit dated). Also don't like how the side stand tops catch the bed and lift when the mattress is raised. Overall though, looks like Brinkley doing Brinkley things, Keep it up. But, bring us a 26'-28', 5500-5900lb true half-ton Brinkley, and that's when the clouds clear, and things get real for total world domination.
My F150 Lightning tows 10000 lb beautifully. We've done 5000 km in Cape Breton Nova Scotia and New Brunswick summer of 2024 in a larger trailer than the Brinkley Model I 265. I like the single slide vs multiple slides for ease of in/out daily campsite moves that are necessary to travel thousands of km in 5 days.
@@smartelectriccar I'm very happy to hear that. And yes, there are some very well equipped, very specific half-tons that can tow 10K comfortably (somewhat). But once you start hitting major elevations/hills/wind, it does become a white knuckle affair (Ask me how I know). Don't even want to get into "Frontal Area" resistance, or side wind impact. But a 5500-6000 unloaded (6500-7500lb Gross), under 30" total length travel trailer is the sweet spot for Half-Tons, I don't care what tow/engine package you have. Anything more you are directly in 3/4 ton territory or above, and FYI, don't listen to RV salesmen. Take care, and keep rolling.
@@RaaJra1992 normal half tons can do around 8900 LBS a tow package half ton can do around 12500 LBS. I didnt see or hear a length on this one? the sticker said 7600 or 7800 empty and 9800 loaded. so yes some half tons but I dont know of any new SUV that can tow that much anymore(they all went glam) I tow a TT that is 7800 loaded now and is only 28 feet stem to stern. it does it very well. Lenght is a huge factor. I would be scared of the hitch weight.
@@davidgroves8049 I understand what a half ton is rated to pull and they can oull it. I have been pulling a 34 ft 8500 pound camper with a 3/4 ton for 8 years. Its a safety factor for me…high winds…a passing semi…having to make a unexpected manuever. Have a good one, Happy Camping.
@@smartelectriccar My wife and I have been on a queen for over 30 yrs now and I'm no small guy at 6'3" 22ish lbs we dont ever want a king bed in a north and south configuration ever...the bed would be 5 inches from the wall on both sides very very nonfunctional
@ thank goodness! That’s a deal breaker for me. I’m glad you moved it. Love the trailer its definitely top of the list for our next trailer. Hopefully they’ll be out in 2025 here in Canada
A projector, something we didnt think we needed, but now we love! ❤ And the windows are beautiful. And no dinette is so thankful, im sick of those things, they fill of so much space in the rv so fast
Love this concept!! Getting rid of the dinette and replace with a dining bar! We have been looking for this forever!
Love the dynamic dining setup. Please add combo washer dryer in the bathroom.
WOW! I'm blown away. This is hands down the most amazing small couples camper I've seen. I've been wanting one of the NOBO RVS models but now I want this. Just Amazing
Thank you! 😊We appreciate your positive feedback!
The projector tv, thank you Brinkley!
Agree, lighter, more energy efficient and screen you can project to the campsite for evening movies, love it!!
@@smartelectriccar and probably terrible to pick up local channels.
Movie nights just got a whole lot more fun! 🤩Thanks for the positive feedback!
Is it actually a projection TV? In the video, the one inside looks bigger than the one outside. That's unfortunate.

The quality of an OLED is just so much better you can't go back. Drop a 55" LG G4 in a rig and that is end game quality right there. Sound cannot be ceiling only either. Need forward facing speakers as there isn't enough room in an RV for downfiring to not feel like the talking is coming from God :P While I would love to see a 5.2.1 in a rig. That is hard for a company to pull off for weight and cost. Doable sure, but hard.
Yesssss!!!!! Love it!!!
Looks great and right in time as I’m retiring in less than a year. I’d love if you could make the exterior LED’s be able to switch between white or amber. Amber going down the road would be 🔥! Sweet looking trailer. Hope that projector is bright HD!
WoW! Can't wait
Thank you for leaning more into the design elements that make Australian and European much more interesting than the typical American style campers that I've seen.
Thanks Brinkley! Love the creativity, the sleek look, the projector, under bed storage...looks great. Can you give us a hint on length and price... or do we have to wait? :)
We will release the details soon!
Brilliant!
Love it! We recently downsized from a heavy duty truck to a half ton as I just did not have the need for a HD truck anymore. We have been considering selling the motorhome too as our kids are almost adults and soon it will be just the wife and I but we would still like to have a camper for weekend trips and maybe the occasional road trip as well. I hope there will be at least a couple different floorplans and sizes available to choose from in this lineup.
Yes, we will continue to design and build new Model I Floorplans.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sign me up as a tester please!! Gorgeous!!!
Move over Airstream-Brinkley is in town.
My only suggestion would be to get rid of the individual loungers and have a pullout sofa that sleeps too. Many couples have their grandkids or friends visit and it’s nice to have a trailer that can sleep four.
Thanks for sharing your input! We love hearing what our potential customers want in their rigs!
Not get rid of, but maybe have both options? I’d only get it if it had loungers, with heat and messaging as added bonuses!
Holy cow, like a luxury hotel on wheels! Ballpark idea on the length/weight?
29’11” and GVWR is around 9600lbs.
Wow.... yall are setting the standards for future rv
While thinking about the lightweights and half ton towing.
Please think about using wide stance axles and torsion axles. Towing my 30’ spring ride RV with 33” spread axles at 6,000lbs is a different experience then towing my work 30’ 9,000lb torsion sprung wide stance box trailer. The box trailer is rock solid on the highway without sway control.
Thanks for the feedback!
Love this lightweight design. It's a perfect couple's trailer. The only element that I dislike is the pop-up hanging space under the bed. It looks like the items would get wrinkled as the box is not deep enough for the clothes to hang straight. I would prefer fewer dresser drawers and a standard hanging closet. The underbed storage would provide additional space for folded items. Also, I would love a remote control bed to allow for sitting up and reading - which is impossible to do with a curved front headboard. I look forward to seeing this model in person!
I agree. We also use purple mattresses in our RVs so they are a bit heavy so I don't want to be down there under the bed on a daily basis.
Thanks for the input on this, we love hearing everyone's suggestions!
Love hearing your ideas, thanks for the feedback!
Wow amazing! I hope there is a private bunkhouse model!
Stay tuned!
I am with some of the others the window over the bed in the bedroom is a negative.
We are currently in the market and looking for a different trailer and I was hoping.🤞🏻 I like the quality and innovative touches on your other beautiful rigs, but this would not be for us. It’s beautiful but I can’t imagine parking next to someone with all these lights and screens.
I was hoping you would have more of a smaller off grid star 🤩 my husband is retiring and we want to see National parks. We currently have a toy hauler 30 ft we love the floor plan and the ramp deck for a patio, but don’t like the height for maintenance as we are aging. (We are wanting the bigger water tanks and battery/generator options for off grid but not more than 30 ft. and only 1 slide because of weight.)
We have had two toy haulers and the first for 19 years the second we purchased a few years ago. We fell in love with the floor plan, big mistake the quality is not as we would like. It will be lucky to make 5 years, for a toy hauler that’s saying something. They are normally pretty tough.
Best wishes keep up the good work and good customer service!
The reviews we’ve seen are good 😊
Likes: under bed storage, projector, remote controlled window shade, bathroom, 12V appliances, 7300 lb dry weight, 50Amps. Dislikes : queen bed (king please!), gas cooktop (induction please!). Nearly perfect for our F150 Lightning electric pickup to tow and offgrid camp.
Thanks for the great feedback, it is in fact a larger 66" x 80" bed vs. the standard 60" x 80"!
Windows on the front cap are a big mistake. All they do is cause condensation, cold/heat, and blinding light while you try to sleep.
Yes yes yes. ❤ get me deal show it off gmhere at Cherokee Maria and camp ground. Just east of Nashville Tn
Would love to see a Bunk House Model.
Stay tuned!
Wow that’s sweet for a light weight trailer!
I am curious to the frame and cage of the travel trailer, What type of material? How did you achieve lightweight? What is the actual weights associated with this model?
Aluminum frame and aluminum exterior walls (painted).
According to this first peek I saw yesterday, it looks like it's gonna be 7,300 pounds: ua-cam.com/video/wl_cQYEKBWc/v-deo.html
@@smartelectriccar When did they state aluminum frame? It looks like steel to me and the only mention of anything aluminum was the aluminum painted exterior skin
Steel chassis.
We would love to share all the details, please email us at salesinfo@brinkleyrv.com so we can get you all the information you are looking for.
Can't wait for pricing...😂
WOW!
I love it
Nice
Can you make a floor plan similar to Rockwood 2618RD?
The RV is brilliantly executed . What is the hitch weight along with the GVW and cargo capacity?
GVWR is around 9600lbs and the cargo carry capacity is around 2400lbs.
Thanks for the response. What is the hitch weight?
We dont have the final numbers yet with only one proto, but probably around 700lbs.
Hey @Brinkley let me know if I should test a unit for you!! Give me the details for some off grid glamping!! National Grasslands are beautiful so let me take one there!! I'll design the bunks into it while we are gone 😉
Hello! You mention the aluminum exterior... are the walls Azdelle (sorry for the spelling)? Would this be considered a multi-season rig?
The exterior skin is aluminum laminated with Azdel. Yes, the Model I is four seasons capable.
@@BrinkleyRV Thank you for the reply and the lighter models! I don't want to buy a larger truck if I don't have too.
Looks good as a 1/2 ton bumper pull but what's in it for 3/4 ton bumper pull trucks
Check out our Model Z Air lineup!
What is overall length?
29' 11"
Would love to know weights and measures when you say big suvs! I hope you do realize these suvs can’t actually carry 7-10k? I hope it’s actually light weight like you say! 4k-6k max!
this one is 7.2k empty so not even close to lightweight
It would be great if you could also have it as a total electric option instead of gas cooktop have induction cooking. I’m sure I can’t be the only one that doesn’t like gas. I had a gas grill blow up in my face one time so I really would prefer the option to have electric.
Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Interesting, but the Brinkley prices usually don't match the lightweight segment. I'll be interested to see the MSRP on this unit. I suspect it will still be far outside the budget for most who don't live in their RV. Camping a few times a year is hard to justify spending $$$$$$.
We need a 23 0r 25
Why can't Brinkley make smaller/lighter tandem axle trailers with a murphy bed and dinette similar to a Nobo 20.4 or Winnie Micro Minnie 2108DS but with Brinkley quality and design elements?
Thanks for sharing, we will continue to grow and release new and innovative products!
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! Look at the Vibe 2500SP and move the stupid middle bar/tv ridiculousness to make a bar with barstools on the back wall window!!!! Then with the opposable slides you can add in a kitchen island! IT WOULD BE THE PERFECT COUPLE/SINGLES TRAILER! PLEASE! Opposable slides are the BOMB with a kitchen island... wide open back windows for view..... projection systems remove th need for ridiculous TV's which most of us dont use anyways..... closet space in the bedroom can't be compromised either.... for those of us who go long term camping several times a year. under 30', half ton towable a MUST! You guys are so close!
Dexter torsion axles plz get rid of the leaf spring suspention!
Who wants giant window for a headboard - especially one with a big logo on it? Add a blackout window shade so the owners can sleep at night, but have more light in the space during the day. The logo on the window is still too much.
@Brinkley I would love to test one for you and give you my thoughts. Just saying.
Beautiful! Love the size. Disappointed in the windows, would rather have the bathroom in the middle leaving the back open for a hugh window view.
What brand is the projector?
We are working with a few different suppliers and will be finalizing the details soon.
Can I order mine now? We’ve been looking 👀
Yes, we are taking orders. Please reach out to salesinfo@brinkleyrv.com and we can connect you with your local Brinkley RV dealership!
Very Nice, even though no weight was listed, Im guessing this is pushing it for most half-tons. Would also like to see a molded front cap, window in the door, fireplace, and not a big fan of the gold hardware (way overdone lately, and looking a bit dated). Also don't like how the side stand tops catch the bed and lift when the mattress is raised. Overall though, looks like Brinkley doing Brinkley things, Keep it up. But, bring us a 26'-28', 5500-5900lb true half-ton Brinkley, and that's when the clouds clear, and things get real for total world domination.
My F150 Lightning tows 10000 lb beautifully. We've done 5000 km in Cape Breton Nova Scotia and New Brunswick summer of 2024 in a larger trailer than the Brinkley Model I 265. I like the single slide vs multiple slides for ease of in/out daily campsite moves that are necessary to travel thousands of km in 5 days.
@@smartelectriccar I'm very happy to hear that. And yes, there are some very well equipped, very specific half-tons that can tow 10K comfortably (somewhat). But once you start hitting major elevations/hills/wind, it does become a white knuckle affair (Ask me how I know). Don't even want to get into "Frontal Area" resistance, or side wind impact. But a 5500-6000 unloaded (6500-7500lb Gross), under 30" total length travel trailer is the sweet spot for Half-Tons, I don't care what tow/engine package you have. Anything more you are directly in 3/4 ton territory or above, and FYI, don't listen to RV salesmen. Take care, and keep rolling.
The other video I saw listed one of them at 7,300lbs empty. Not what I call light weight, gonna get a lot of half ton people in trouble.
@@RaaJra1992 normal half tons can do around 8900 LBS a tow package half ton can do around 12500 LBS. I didnt see or hear a length on this one? the sticker said 7600 or 7800 empty and 9800 loaded. so yes some half tons but I dont know of any new SUV that can tow that much anymore(they all went glam) I tow a TT that is 7800 loaded now and is only 28 feet stem to stern. it does it very well. Lenght is a huge factor. I would be scared of the hitch weight.
@@davidgroves8049 I understand what a half ton is rated to pull and they can oull it. I have been pulling a 34 ft 8500 pound camper with a 3/4 ton for 8 years. Its a safety factor for me…high winds…a passing semi…having to make a unexpected manuever. Have a good one, Happy Camping.
You lost me with the front window
THIS
Can I pay extra to NOT have the front window?
@@MaxibleRight!!!! We have a front window currently and it is the one area that we had leaks. Plus it makes the RV warmer.
Look interesting Ryan. How about a king size bed or large twin beds?
King bed is a must have for couples camping over the long haul. Queen is only OK for a week or two at most.
@@smartelectriccar My wife and I have been on a queen for over 30 yrs now and I'm no small guy at 6'3" 22ish lbs we dont ever want a king bed in a north and south configuration ever...the bed would be 5 inches from the wall on both sides very very nonfunctional
This is an all new large almost king mattress 66" x 80" for a north/south bed model!
Any solar or on board generators?
Will this model I be at the Tampa show?
Humm this looks nice but how affordable ?
Did talk about the bed mattress? Refrigerator, microwave?… guess will look that up 🤓
Yes, we will have tons more info to follow!
You keep saying it is a light weight - so what is the weight?
The Model I 265 will have a GVWR of 9,600 Lbs.
Is it possible to just do a video that shows the RV like Josh at Bishes does? The video showed more from the guy then the actual RV.
Coming soon!
Price?
MSRP $69,505
Looks great.... just get rid of the tankless water heaters.... and Brinkley would move to the top of Everyone's list
Why? They take up so much less space and save money for heating water, in addition to providing more hot water at one time.
Weight?
GVWR is approximately 9500lbs.
My wife and I love this model except........We go camping to be in nature like a cabin not a Sterile hospital room.
Make a teardrop trailer, with better quality than a Bean trailer. Affordable. People will buy it
Thank you for sharing your suggestion!
Very nice, but please add cup holders to the sofa. Take my money now.
Thanks for your suggestion!
Oh no! Please don’t tell me that’s a heat register on the kitchen floor by the bedroom. Please
There was on Proto number 1, but it has been moved now.
@ thank goodness! That’s a deal breaker for me. I’m glad you moved it. Love the trailer its definitely top of the list for our next trailer. Hopefully they’ll be out in 2025 here in Canada
I'm just glad it doesn't have swirly stickers on the outside 😅
Lost Me With The SO
We need a bunkhouse model
Frosted windows? Those gotta go. Use shades. People want to see out windows when they’re out by a mountain.
No frosted windows!
please add a small tub option to the bathroom.
