*Hey everybody thanks for tuning in! I have been out of the office recording a BUNCH of new footage and struggling to keep up with ALL these comments! The factory asked me to extend my thanks for sharing! Here's a few bits of info:* ► _What is the length?_ 34'11" -- Apparently I missed that when making up my specs chart. Sorry! ► _How much is it?_ At the time of this posting there is no pricing because the RV is not finalized. Remember - it's a prototype! They asked me to get this footage out to farm some initial consumer feedback to see if they were going down the proper rabbit hole. *[UPDATE!]:* One of the company founders advised they're _estimating_ under a $100,000 "retail" price -- that means MSRP (aka NOT a sale price from a dealership). This puts it roughly in line (maybe slightly higher) vs. many existing products like Cougar, Reflection, Eagle, and Avenue. ► Does it have This or That? Again, the RV isn't finalized. When the final production model goes live I'll try to capture updated footage so you can see what's what ► Comments like _The flooring has problems -- No, it doesn't. Apparently it's not common knowledge that cold carpetless slide floors condense & cause a ripple. It was about 40 degrees the morning I recorded this and early in the morning. The RV had only JUST been brought in. When it warms up that'll settle down. ► Does it have a central vacuum -- I almost presumed it did but upon further investigation discovered they do not. Instead they're prepping the front closet for one of those Dyson hand helds (which I actually prefer myself) ► Is there a manual override for those electric gate valves -- I'm investigating now.. [UPDATE!} Yes, they do! They're accessible thru the side panels in the pass-thru ► "ONLY One Air Conditioner?" -- Based on YOUR feedback on this video the team at Brinkley has advised they will be standardizing the factory 2nd air! YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE PEOPLE!! Hope that helps!! _-Uncle Josh, the RV Nerd_
One last comment for the manufacturer - the idea of a pet friendly RV and/or 5th Wheel is definitely something that I find appealing. I would ask them though, if that is a niche area that they want to distinguish themselves with, to remember that not everyone travels with dogs. There are more than a fair number of us who travel with cats, and the million dollar issue is always “where do I put the litter box”. Find a way to have an area for a litter box, especially in a bathroom, and they will have a home run IMO. While my hubby and I are looking for a 42’-ish (not a 34’ like this one) 5th wheel with 2 bathrooms, having one that is “cat friendly” would be a huge motivator for us. Just this girl’s opinion :) Thanks again for all of the videos and information Josh! You rock! edit: fix typo
👆👆👆 I have this same question because we have both dogs and cats and this would be an excellent feature to include as well for those of us who have both! I usually just tuck the letterbox into a closet and keep it accessible or under something easily accessible for myself to clean it and for the cats to access but a special place just for the litter box would be awesome! Also wanted to state that WOW! Only just under 35' and some of the 42 footers don't even utilize the space this well!
This is awesome! I love the generator prep, the inverter prep, the 50amp MPPT controller. The roof looks like it could support more solar if you're so inclined. My only 2 points would be 1) would they do a sink offset? I like the symmetry but a large prep surface would be amazing to have and 2) Can they please ditch that Winguard dome? There are so many other options out there and I'd much rather have a pass through prep than having to yank other hardware off. I'll be waiting to see when this is released!
@@LadyDragonborn we had a 42 foot RV that we hauled all over the country, however my husband decided it was much too long and we went with a 36 footer and are perfectly happy.
Right! I don't understand. It is like all of these RV companies got stuck in the 90s and just change the colors. I would be 100% content with low key monotone exterior. Let's face it...we don't decale giant swooshes on our house. Why would we want to do that on anything we are living in.
First thing that stood out to me was the window trim. Beautiful. Not a fan of the different fabrics between couches. Should have married the bench seat and left recliner light coloured. Love the rest. Needed a mid bunk. Families with children will need it eventually for Grandchildren. Pull outs are not the answer ;)
Love so much about this! 1. No stupid valances and ugly fabric on windows! 2. Very classy furniture choices. 3. No wallpaper, neutral, solid paint choices. All so beautiful! I’d be very interested in this.
We ripped out all valances and painted everything. We live in our GD TH FT and want it to look like a home and not a cheap trailer. The dark colors are so 20th century.
What a beauty this unit is! I can't even begin to express all the things I love about it, so I am going to ask some questions instead. I use a CPAP machine and one of things I never see addressed that there is never a shelf area next to the king size bed to place it. A built in partially hidden area would be great! Another thing is sleeping on a crappy mattress that I can tell is just over a board because of the lack of a box springs! How do most Rvers cope with this problem? I think I could get my husband to camp more if he could get a good night's sleep! One thing that he would love about this unit is the generous head room because he is 6'4"! I also didn't see any cup holders in or next to the living space furniture. Did I just miss them? I like to prevent spills. Love the pet touches because we do travel with 2 shih tzus! Is there an outside shower for washing off sand and mud from our feet and our pets? I don't want to be tracking in dirt! Thanks!
I believe this is the nicest 5th wheel I have seen. Love the attention to detail. Not a single "swoosh" graphic. LOVE it! Please keep sub $90k and this should become the hottest selling 5th wheel. This industry needs this type of out-of-the-box thinking.
Ugly windows have been a part of RVing forever and these folks said "stop the madness!" I love that simple touch of adding trim all the way around the windows. It looks much homier and higher class that way. Well done Brinkley!
Finally a decent interior designer! The decor is fabulous, great colors, beautiful hardware and a well thought out floor plan. Best 5th wheel I’ve seen in ages. Well done!
Came to say the same thing. Still room for improvement, but VASTLY superior to all the 100 shades of brown and mish-mashed textures that we are used to seeing.
Finally something clean, elegant, and well built. Sincerely hope the rest of the industry takes note, many have shamelessly unloaded rubbish on unsuspecting customers for years, this Brinkley is a breath of fresh air!
Really nice 5th wheel hope they cause the other companies that make 5th wheels to start making better 5th wheels hope this company goes far in doing what they doing
I actually love the decor! As soon as I saw the inside I wanted to meet the person who chose the decor, genius. I love the difference in colors for the couch and recliners. The paint color on the cabinets and the color of the cabinet handles, so cool. Makes me happy, I want to live here!
Brinkley, you really have nailed it‼️ Thanks to you Josh for another great video. ((Please keep in mind Josh, when you become excited (& I love your laugh) you start talking faster and sometimes are hard to understand, but that’s just me.))
This is BY FAR the most thoughtfully laid out 5th wheel I've ever seen! The windows are fantastic, I noticed the lack of trim and crown moulding immediately as what makes it look like a small apartment rather than an RV. LOVE the kitchen!!!
We currently own a Grand Design Solitude fifthwheel with a similar interior. The changes that Brinkley are making are spot on. We have the trash bins beside the oven and the pull out dog bowls under the oven. Moving them to the island makes much more sense. Many of the changes are subtle but are improvements to what we have now. Minor suggestions: add a dump valve at the sewer hookup to stop “dribbles”, make the bedroom TV an option ( we never use ours), add a flip up cutting board on the end of the island, the lighting on the front cap is unnecessary and often irritating to other campers, make the two dinette chair foldable for storage, if not used, offer manually operated recliners in place of the power recliners, and opaque shower doors are a few suggestions that come to mind. I am very interested in this rig and will be looking for it early next year.
Hands down the decor this far is awesome. It does not remind me of typical RV decor, no matter how nice RV decor is, this feels different! The outlets inside the pantry is awesome as well! Love the hidden doggie dishes, the space for two trash cans, the dinette bench/ottoman that has the coffee table riser! What! These are all features I want inside my sticks and bricks!
My wife loves it. No ugly wallpaper or valances, clean simple design. She’s sold on the inside and I love the exterior, win win. I hope this causes other manufacturers to step their game up.
Notes as I watch: Ok, those squared off windows are silently, very dramatically different from basically everything in the RV market. Interior multicolored fabric/leatherettes are a nice touch. Not colors often seen paired. The floor flush kitchen slide is excellent. I like the better storage above the door side super slide. I really like the simple fascia, window enclosures. The choice to use more drawers is more expensive, but it does help with access down low. Can they please raise the outlet up the wall in the slide to near the bottom of the table. Excellent euro-style styling. The execution of this model is crazy good. The position of outlets is pretty much where I would expect to see them...for a well designed kitchen. Well do Factory air in the BR.
The complete home run is the use of casements around the square angled windows. I just love the clean look it affords. No cheesy valences with equally cheap “curtains”. Also, love the new slide feature for the bedroom, if you had to use your bed while the slide is in, you won’t potentially ruin the slide by putting weight on it when in. ❤
Looking at retirement in 2023 and have spent countless hours watching RUclips. This RV Is perfectly put together! I hope they install stackable washer and dryer option. Love the colors and all. I really appreciate what they have done to create this RV! Brinkley.. Please don’t change the good you have already done.. the shower is perfect the way it is. Can’t wait till you put it out so we can purchase it!
This RV is a WOW ! The colors, the layout, the storage, the windows are all superior. Just amazing. Thanks again Josh for finding us a treasure. I love your videos & your humor.
Finally, someone has heard me yelling for more light, bright and simple design! I LOVE it! Brinkley has nailed it! Specific kudos for the window frames, simple cabinetry, door shade, bathroom and bedroom closet design. I love the televator and the table bench seat/coffee table. Small touches like the shelving tucked here and there is terrific. I'd like to see a different contrasting color on the theater seats, but the furniture style is very attractive. Night tables would be very, very welcome. I'm loving the exterior, too! Very classy with no need to "out swirl decal" the competition. Just one question, when and where can I buy one? Thank you Brinkley, from all of us who've been holding out for a rig such as this. We just ask that you keep the quality control spot on, as we're eager to see much more from you. Go Brinkley!
Other RV manufacturers should take notes….. this is an absolutely amazing RV from floor to ceiling. Love not seeing all the crown molding, without it the living space feels a lot more open. Making an outside accessible door to the empty space under the sofa is just BRILLIANT!!! That’s a space that goes unused in most RV’s d/t inaccessibility. Honestly I just love everything about this rig!!!
Very glad to see a company that knows how to hinge a pantry door in such a way as to allow access with a partially open slide, and full access to the fridge with a closed slide. These and so many other small details..this one is well thought out. Now please give us an option for the old fashion pull out entry steps so we can get in it while in the storage unit.
I really like the molding around the windows, makes it look homey. Like the big pantry door, like the no carpet slides, like the end tables and the spaces beside the stove. Like the adjustable shelves in the pantry. Here is a big 2 suggestions: make the steps more and not so steep and there needs to be night stands on each side of the bed, big enough for C-pap machines. Love the colors! Yes on the second air!
FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY! I have just seen the perfect RV. This thing is so awesome. The profile of this 5th wheel is so sleek. My husband said it looked like a seagull, which for him is a complement. You can tell it was built by people who listen and who have wanted these same selections for a long time. I wish you would have mentioned the tint on the windows. Every person I know that has an rv in Texas has either those windshield shades for vehicles, or like me Attic Foil in the windows to block out the heat. Love this rv. It's so clean looking.
I love the decor in all the rooms and the fact that if you didn’t know it was a 5th wheel you would think it was just a very nice apartment no old school look anywhere . And the outside is just gorgeous the lines and colors are stunning.
A coffee table in an RV! With storage in it! That turns into a table! Outlets everywhere. If that's indicative of the level of original thinking that's going on, I want to see more from Brinkley.
That is unbelievably perfect. I can't even imagine actually being able to live and camp in that. The only thing I would love to see it the interior with the farm house style decore that Jayco has done in a few of their RVs
Totally impressed. The interior is the best I’ve ever seen. The moulding around the windows and the actual windows look residential. The walls are light and bright. The indirect lighting is awesome. The fixtures in the shower with multiple body sprayers are a real luxury. An absolute show stopper who will give the high class manufacturers some good competition. Sleek looking exterior. Chef’s kiss!!
Love everything! Decor, flexibility, colors and materials, storage....very nicely done! As a designer, you can't please everyone and decor style is extremely subjective. But by today's design aesthetic they nailed it. 😀
This caught my attention immediately by the inside decor. Very clean, modern, and classy. Not once did I stop and say nope that's not good. Very well made and thought out. Kudos to Brinkley for creating an RV to love and enjoy, not just make money off of people. I can say the only things I would miss is a small dishwasher, and a soaked tub. Very well done guys!!!!! 💯 I have been looking and this one just made my mind up. Can't wait till they are out...I will be looking to get one of these beautiful RV's.
Definately a second AC. Love the details. The wood trim, the framed windows, the bathroom wall, even the odd closet door mirror. Not a fan of the white and gray, but thats a personal thing. Also like the funky dining chairs. Just my own weird observation, and I can’t explain it, but when you did the full side view, it made me think of a Yacht. Its probably the lines and the way they did the colors, but its a cool effect.
I love seeing all of these features in a mid profile 5th wheel! I just hope it doesn't come with a big Montana price tag due to this. Either way, it's an incredible looking RV, that paint package is killer! This really does look like what I expect the fleet at large will "catch up to" design wise, just a perfect modern RV.
Very Very nice, what type of ROOFING and warranty? . Only thing I didn't care for the mustard color theater seating, would like an option for natural wood cabinets. Thanks Tcollins 😊
Josh, Thanks to you bringing this and Brinkley for giving you the early red carpet access to enable so many of us to take in what they have clearly spent a lot of time designing and crafting. Very nicely done!
Wow... Finally a true innovative RV manufacturer that gets what is important! The running gear being 17'.5 tires and large capacity tanks. Awesome storage and lighting. An entry door that gives you a window and ability to shade from bottom to a rear exterior storage compartment. It definitely needs another AC in the bedroom and I HATE the banana seat dinette chairs and color, but everything else they nailed it. Hopefully, it's priced right as I will be watching this start-up very closely as I have with Alliance - both are very impressive!
Smaller, rugged, but elegant, we've been waiting for this!! ❤ the couch side tables. ❤ the colors. ❤ that the oven is in center of counter. The trim on windows is lovely. The bench very versatile- great idea. Thank you for putting dimmers on the lights! Fridge access a big plus. The door hand rail- ingenious! Thank you for the stackable W/D- that's how it should be! Only one negative- ditch the side-by-side fridge. Beautiful coach! Can't wait to see what's next!!
Wow! This is awesome! Thank you Brinkley for allowing us to see it first and thank you for the thought put into your build. I love it and look forward to seeing what the future holds for you and us!
Right now My wife and I are full timing in a wilderness 3357kl. I would trade no questions asked for that Brinkley. That RV is absolutely stunning and I love they care enough to go above and beyond just that extra little bit. Truly a beautiful piece of art.
This is an amazing fifth wheel. The decor is awesome and looks like something you would see in a staged home for sale, not a RV. The dog bowl station is AMAZING! And the shower light - omg where have these features been?! Very well thought thru!!!
Thanks for the first look. Seems as if Brinkley is headed in the right direction. I am really liking the attention to detail, like the pet friendly additions. I didn't know I needed those cabinets above the recliners, LOL, but wishing I had them in our rig. Couple of things: in the video, it looked as if the corners on the island need to be rounded off a bit, tthey look sharp; and I'd miss the window behind the bed (i am a tad claustrophobic), I'd vote for that. Is there a window emergency egress? I didn't notice if that was a thing with the frameless windows. Everything else looks great, other than for me personally I would change out all that plain cabinetry for something a bit more zhuzhed up. But not a deal breaker.
Absolutely gorgeous so far in the main living. Yep...the yummy flowed throughout that whole rig. It's like a luxury apartment on wheels. I'm not a 5th wheel lover but that thing is so smartly planned and executed that it's one I'd consider getting a truck for. They had Josh do the first walk through because they knew he's the best at it! Great job Brinkley. 👏 Can wait to see what's next.
Really attractive 5th wheel from the outside and I'm really impressed with the interior quality and amenities. It really checks all the boxes and then some. It'll be interesting to find out the price comparatively for such a well done 5th wheel.
They nailed it in my opinion. I have a lot of favorites about the camper I like but the square windows and trim does it for me. The other feature I noticed right away were the end tables actually look like end tables instead of a stupid box. And I hope they make a travel trailer with bunks and a master bedroom slide. 😉😉😉 oh, and kitchen counter space to prep meals. My wish list not much just a whole new camper for Brinkley to design.
A big thank you to all involved! 🙌🏼🙌🏼This is a game changer for sure, leaving others in the dust. I have always felt that the people who use the product, are the ones that know best what is needed with it. LOVE the clean lines!! No swirly lines on the outside!! Suggestions, 👉🏼 Not sure if it does, but the outlet under dining table should have USB port also 👉🏼leave the paper towel area open with just the garbage pull out to have a door. (Messy hands getting a paper towel) molding
Thanks for giving us an early preview. Great 5th wheel. This is the first one I have ever taken an interest in. Clean open space with no molding at the ceiling/wall interface. The simple chairs under the no-knee-knock table and couch end tables open underneath, floating island with indirect lighting, etc., it all adds up to a clean inside look. It does not remind me of my grandmothers living room! I’m 66 years young. So that’s saying something. It is well executed inside and out. The overall shape looks great too. Now… if I can only win the lottery. 🤔
This unit is totally amazing. I love window shades the simplicity of wood accent on the slides and windows. The night light in bedroom is a very nice touch. The overall decor soooo pretty. The exterior is very very beautiful simple but sharp
If I could ever get my captain back into a 5th wheel, this one just might be what convinces him! Absolutely stunning and I don't mean just the esthetics. The mechanicals, the machining, the structure. This meets the true nature of what the RVer of today truly wishes for. We went from 5th wheel to Class C.
I love the valances on the sides of the windows to keep the sun from creeping around the edges if you want it dark. I like the bench/chair combo for the dinette with the ability to move the bench over as a foot rest or extra table. I love that the dinette table is mounted to the wall so I don't smash my knees or stub my toes. I love no vents in the floor and no carpet (if I want a carpet let me put a throw rug in). I love the allocated space for the garbage cans, paper towel holder and dog bowls. Very well done. I believe I saw a skylight in the bedroom on the initial video. I'm okay with that as long as I can block out all light if I want to sleep in. I would like to have a coat closet inside the door but that's not a deal breaker. However, I do not like the steps that fold into the coach! They do not work in tight spaces. I would rather have the old steps that fold back in and I can put out as many steps as I need or have space for.
I absolutely love this rv and the creativity of thinking outside of the box with the decor. Hands down with no runner up, this is my favorite fifth wheel. I love all the windows along with the window trim, the flush slide flooring, the furniture color scheme.
Absolutely stunning! Would definitely recommend the 2nd AC, slide toppers and making the entry steps wider( they looked a bit narrow and there was definitely room). Hopefully it’s not too pricey!
@@BrinkleyRV what other floor plans are working on? My family definitely needs a mid bunk and if it has the features this has you can consider it bought for me. Lol. Also when do you expect to start selling?
Owned this camper for 5 days. Awesome. Love the magnets and all the lights. If I have any complains its the skinny medicine cabinet and no room for cloth hampers in bathroom or bedroom. But Love it. Lots of Great Features.
There's a lot going on here that I like, and gives me some ideas to do to my RV that I never even considered I needed, until now. I like the extended entry handle, the built in hose reels, the under RV lighting, and the list goes on. This is not my style RV, but they have a lot of really good things for someone to enjoy that is looking for this style.
I love just about everything in this rig!! Only thing I would prefer is a dark choice on the theater seats and chairs for the table. I love that you can move the bench and make a coffee table/extra table for the couch! Yes to 2nd ac as I live in NC! Love the windows! Love the oven!
MINE!!! Luv it all. My first time commenting on an RV. The only thing I would change is out with table and chairs and put in sofa have lagoon tables that can be removed when not necessary. I am a nurse and I am looking at this with more disabled versatility. I think using an exterior table for good weather and flip down counter and stool or aforementioned lagoon would be my favorite. King size bed great, bath very roomy, definitely 2nd a/c in bedroom. Luv the window trim and day screens, dimmer lights a must have. I have never been r.v.ing but I watch your info's all the time. You have given your audience everything they could ever want. Thank you. In particular I am appreciating the color scheme and floor.
Love the exterior colors, classy and definitely not plain jane, and that logo is on point. I'd like to see the windows open, but they sound great. Interior-wise, It's very modern, love the colors, the only light I didn't care for was above the table, but not a big deal at all, I'm sure it's loved by many. I also really like the bright wall color, not the beige basketweave we usually see. It is very well thought out. Would definitely want AC in the bedroom, and keep a maxx fan off of center, not over the bed, to keep that cool breeze coming in.
Well, wow! Lots of features that I wouldn't have expected. Very modern and convenient. The handrail is thoughtful and a real safety feature in wet conditions. Lots of high end 5th wheels will be playing catchup.
Awesome that Brinkley let us take a very detailed tour. Thanks Brinkley and Josh! I love it and hope they go further and maybe build the same thoughtful & very nice.. Camper Van B+. Exceptional RV brand Brinkley!!💕
Love the “white” electric plugs! You can actually SEE them to plug in things! Over 30 foot need 2nd air under 30 foot one air is ok. I camp in mid Fl. Year round.
OMG this is truly amazing. I can't wait to see one in person in Ontario, Canada. Love everything about it and this will be worth the transition to a 5th wheel. Love the simple clean lines, furniture choices, cabinetry etc. Plus we'll be able to tow it with the truck we have. Thank you for another great video to bring us this latest RV. Factory installed second a/c would be a great addition.
I saw one of these at the RV show in Lincoln Nebraska this weekend. It is beautiful! The leather on the couches like butter! This would definitely be an RV that I would consider full timing in its well-built, well appointed and absolutely gorgeous.❤ Oh, and the best part …. No stupid, ugly outdated valances! It’s truly a dream.♥️
Looks great! I love the look of the windows and how they are framed out inside instead of having the valence. Big fan of this one and excited to see what else they come up with if this is their first model.
Oooooooh Josh! This is brilliant, gorgeous, and soooooo needed in the industry! Thank you Brinkley for listening to what people wanted and making those tweaks! Hubby and I have looked at so many of the new models and there is always something I like and something I hate. Until I saw this video, what we wanted was just not out there; it felt like we needed to Frankenstein a unit to get what we wanted. I realize that this is only prototype number two, but I’m wondering when we will see other models from Brinkley? Also, the decor is PERFECT! It has a really residential feel to it (love the exterior square windows with the black frames….. very modern and in line with current sticks & bricks homes). I cannot wait to see this company grow and grow!
Saw this in-person today at AT&T Stadium at an RV Show. Nate Goldenberg (one of the founders) was there and walked my wife and I through the unit. Very impressive unit. As Josh covered in the video there was a ton of small, thoughtful touches and improvements to make the unit more durable. Even simple things like including the window shade and door handle on the screen door. Absolutely crazy that you would spend $90K on an RV and then have to add things like that. Brinkley includes all that up front. RV looked VERY clean and crisp in-person. This unit is now at the top of our list.
It's that thoughtful attention to detail that draws me to them. The layout might be nothing new, but it's the _execution of that layout_ that truly shines
Love, love, love!!! Looks like a home and not an RV. Beautiful, practical storage and very stylish. Only thing to add are the inverter and lithium batteries. Love the exterior too.
I love love the decor. This is what I have been waiting to huy as my last RV. I am so impressed!! Thank you Brinkley and of course Josh. Job well done.
Given the fact that my family name is Brinkley, I couldn’t wait for a first look at this. WELL DONE!! Absolutely fascinating to see common sense and luxury meld together. I love the fact that it is mid profile. I’ve been RVing for 35 years and can see Brinkley being my last and favorite rv. 2 ac’s are a must have for me. I absolutely love the shades that raise from the bottom. Thank you Brinkley RV!!!!!
I love this so much!! I may have just changed my dream next RV except we really really are in love with the front living models and the huge bathrooms they give you. I really hope they come out with a front living model bc it will be ours!
Wow! They nailed it! Love nearly everything about it. At this point, why not just add the vent covers? Adding the vent cover will top it off nicely 😉 2nd air for sure.
Wow. Love the dining table with the pull-out drawer for sure. The pull out residential waste basket hopper is awesome. Built in usb/c into outlets was genius. The flip'up side tables by the couch with storage is rather cool. Definitely factory installed second air in BR. The electric dump valves are nice but the mechanical ones are easy to replace if they break. I would like to see them do a bunk room version too. Overall, a home run…….maybe a version too around 9500 lbs dry weight for us Super Duty gassers!
This thing looks awesome! The auto level controls should be mounted on the door. This make it easy to see what you’re doing when hitching/unhitching. Great video!
I believe this company is about to Grand Design and the industry as a whole a run for their money! Brinkley RV has done a phenomenal job with taking the time to bring back features you use to see in high end Motorhomes with a beautiful modern design and functionality! I can’t wait to see one in person!
This is great. Love the concept and it looks well executed. A mid profile with full profile features and big holding tanks is something I have been wishing existed. I really like that they went with a larger 36 volt solar panel. Idk what the pricing is whole sale but retail those aren't generally much more expensive than the smaller 12 volt panels despite making way more power. It's a smart choice.
I absolutely LOVE THIS 5th Wheel! Like you said, this may be the last one we would ever need. It is so stylish, elegant and technology pleasing. I saw the floor plan had the queen bed option. It would be great to get the queen bed with side tables on each side. Love this thing from front to back. We are really looking forward to hearing the price point these will come in at and getting to walk one in the coming year. Thanks for sharing this great video with us!
Overall this is fantastic! There were some cosmetic choices that are not my personal taste. I'm not a fan of the saddle tan dining chairs or theater seat but I'm fine with the actual design of them I would just prefer them in different colors. I do like that they did use leather or leatherette (whatever it's called) on the fabric because it's much easier to clean and take care of. I love all the pet features because I would definitely be traveling with multiple small dogs so having a place for water bowls would be wonderful. I love the pantry shelves how they are flexible and can flip up or down to somewhat customize the space for what you most need it for. I love that it's 12 volt refrigerator and there is extra solar to support that. I like the larger more residential looking oven and of course having a large One bowl kitchen sink is my preference but I know many will prefer a tubal sink. I love that there's space for a coffee bar or a landing area over as you come in and of course the way the shade is positioned in the door is very nice and much needed in the industry even though it is a small thing it is one of those things that I think many RVs would appreciate. Yes to a second a/c! The bathroom is very nice and I really like that they continue the Corian into the bathroom. If you are traveling with kids that are not very neat, I would be concerned about water leakage but not with these salad surface countertops. Also the extra counter space off to the right is very nice and helps to maximize available getting ready space. Also the big cabinet space under the sink is great as well as drawer space. The linen cabinet is very nice and I appreciate having a door on it yet you still have a little cubby where you can have extra TP available when needed. I believe the shower does have a handheld wand that I couldn't see it completely. Being disabled, I need to be able to put a chair and a and have a handheld wand available. The only thing I would change about the shower is I would consider getting rid of the model with the small plastic built-in seats if you want to call them that and I would prefer to have one of the drop-down wooden seats that I've seen in many fifth wheels. I think it allows for maximum space in the shower if you don't need a seat yet you have a very nice seat available if you do need one. Any chance an RV manufacturer would consider putting a grab bar in a shower? I would think older or disabled people would find that very beneficial. This is actually a functional bathroom for me as a disabled person. I do use a wheelchair but I can walk a small amount so I would be able to get into this bathroom pretty easily. The outside storage is excellent. I can't speak to tow rating or any of those types of features that I will defer to those of you who have knowledge of that specifically. I'm curious as to what the max solar available is as I would be interested in going off grid and using solar as much as possible to power everything. Also would like more information about the automatic tank working that you mentioned. Being disabled and only have the use of one arm due to a stroke, hooking up for dumping tanks is a big concern of mine about RVing.
Wow! I could say so many nice things but I would be repeating other peoples comments I am sure. You cannot please everyone of course, however I could not imagine many dislikes other than decor tastes or floor plan preferences. Brinkley seems to have nailed it when it comes to conception, design and execution. I look forward to seeing what else they have planned and very possibly will be be a customer depending on price and availability. Another great video Josh!!!!!
@@JoshtheRVNerd ok, here goes. The windows, style, fit, finish int/ext...love it! The door, shade, step rail....love it! The cupboards, style, fit, finish...love it!

I eagerly await production, pricing, future plans, & other details from Brinkley. As a Canadian I hope they have considered us potential northern customers as well. Brinkley, I look forward to seeing/hearing more from you.
Very nice unit that was well thought out. Yes on 2nd AC. Really like the interior window treatment and that they open, along with the screen and blackout shades. The interior design and decor is great. Looking forward to a full walk through when it has been released.
Really nice 5th wheel inside and out. Fantastic touches. Now as long as they can hire decent carpenters. Most campers fit & finish typically sub-par. Awnings slides standard would have been nice too.
Thank you Brinkley and Josh! Been waiting for their first release. I thought I read they were going to focus on smaller travel trailers. There is nothing about this 5th wheel I didn't like. Beautiful decor so tastefully done! I just wonder what the length is. My guess is around 35'. Love the windows that look like frames. Can't wait to see more. The folks at Brinkley must be so excited to see all their hard work coming to fruition. Will they be debuting at the Tampa RV Show. I'm sorry they couldn't make Hershey as I was at that show.
Just toured this model at my local RV center and I have to say I loved it. The details look so high end and the king size bed with actual closet had me wanting to take it home today
This is absolutely beautiful! I love the decor colors and accents. 😍 You can tell they are actual RVers by certain little details. It doesn't look like space was wasted which we all know is important. I love all the storage too. So awesome! They did great-and not just for a first model. This is better than a lot I've seen in the past few years!
I love the windows and simple added space to store items. Example on each side of the couch and coffee table and so on. I would like to know if Brinkley had done anything differently with the insulation of floor, side walls, and roof. Great video and keep up the great work. Much appreciated
It's beautiful!! I love the interior. I would love to see a shorter version (about 30 feet), and the kitchen island without the sink. I would use the island for more workspace and put the kitchen sink on the wall under a nice-sized window next to the stovetop. And, maybe have access to the bathroom from the bedroom. Thanks, Josh for keeping us informed and updated on what's new in the industry. Love your channel!!!!!!!
This looks great!!! I also love the minimalist look to everything, but it still looks super classy. I'm anxious to see what the pricing and availability will look like. I'm also REALLY impressed with the axles and tire ratings. I've had two blowouts on the road with my current trailer, due to lower quality tires from the factory, and I love the idea of having more capacity than you really need. Gives me more peace of mind. Great walk-through! Thanks, Josh!
*Hey everybody thanks for tuning in! I have been out of the office recording a BUNCH of new footage and struggling to keep up with ALL these comments! The factory asked me to extend my thanks for sharing! Here's a few bits of info:*
► _What is the length?_ 34'11" -- Apparently I missed that when making up my specs chart. Sorry!
► _How much is it?_ At the time of this posting there is no pricing because the RV is not finalized. Remember - it's a prototype! They asked me to get this footage out to farm some initial consumer feedback to see if they were going down the proper rabbit hole. *[UPDATE!]:* One of the company founders advised they're _estimating_ under a $100,000 "retail" price -- that means MSRP (aka NOT a sale price from a dealership). This puts it roughly in line (maybe slightly higher) vs. many existing products like Cougar, Reflection, Eagle, and Avenue.
► Does it have This or That? Again, the RV isn't finalized. When the final production model goes live I'll try to capture updated footage so you can see what's what
► Comments like _The flooring has problems -- No, it doesn't. Apparently it's not common knowledge that cold carpetless slide floors condense & cause a ripple. It was about 40 degrees the morning I recorded this and early in the morning. The RV had only JUST been brought in. When it warms up that'll settle down.
► Does it have a central vacuum -- I almost presumed it did but upon further investigation discovered they do not. Instead they're prepping the front closet for one of those Dyson hand helds (which I actually prefer myself)
► Is there a manual override for those electric gate valves -- I'm investigating now.. [UPDATE!} Yes, they do! They're accessible thru the side panels in the pass-thru
► "ONLY One Air Conditioner?" -- Based on YOUR feedback on this video the team at Brinkley has advised they will be standardizing the factory 2nd air! YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE PEOPLE!!
Hope that helps!!
_-Uncle Josh, the RV Nerd_
One last comment for the manufacturer - the idea of a pet friendly RV and/or 5th Wheel is definitely something that I find appealing. I would ask them though, if that is a niche area that they want to distinguish themselves with, to remember that not everyone travels with dogs. There are more than a fair number of us who travel with cats, and the million dollar issue is always “where do I put the litter box”. Find a way to have an area for a litter box, especially in a bathroom, and they will have a home run IMO. While my hubby and I are looking for a 42’-ish (not a 34’ like this one) 5th wheel with 2 bathrooms, having one that is “cat friendly” would be a huge motivator for us. Just this girl’s opinion :)
Thanks again for all of the videos and information Josh! You rock!
edit: fix typo
👆👆👆 I have this same question because we have both dogs and cats and this would be an excellent feature to include as well for those of us who have both! I usually just tuck the letterbox into a closet and keep it accessible or under something easily accessible for myself to clean it and for the cats to access but a special place just for the litter box would be awesome!
Also wanted to state that WOW! Only just under 35' and some of the 42 footers don't even utilize the space this well!
This is awesome! I love the generator prep, the inverter prep, the 50amp MPPT controller. The roof looks like it could support more solar if you're so inclined. My only 2 points would be 1) would they do a sink offset? I like the symmetry but a large prep surface would be amazing to have and 2) Can they please ditch that Winguard dome? There are so many other options out there and I'd much rather have a pass through prep than having to yank other hardware off. I'll be waiting to see when this is released!
@@LadyDragonborn Yeah, ventilated area for the cat box -- and bonus points if you can slide it out from outside to dump the litter.
@@LadyDragonborn we had a 42 foot RV that we hauled all over the country, however my husband decided it was much too long and we went with a 36 footer and are perfectly happy.
i love NOT seeing over used killed "swoosh" decals paint jobs!!!!! very nice styling!!!!
That was my first point. I like the clean lines
Right! I don't understand. It is like all of these RV companies got stuck in the 90s and just change the colors. I would be 100% content with low key monotone exterior. Let's face it...we don't decale giant swooshes on our house. Why would we want to do that on anything we are living in.
First thing that stood out to me was the window trim. Beautiful. Not a fan of the different fabrics between couches. Should have married the bench seat and left recliner light coloured. Love the rest. Needed a mid bunk. Families with children will need it eventually for Grandchildren. Pull outs are not the answer ;)
Nice!! Would love a dishwashers and fireplace back-storage
Love so much about this! 1. No stupid valances and ugly fabric on windows! 2. Very classy furniture choices. 3. No wallpaper, neutral, solid paint choices. All so beautiful! I’d be very interested in this.
We ripped out all valances and painted everything. We live in our GD TH FT and want it to look like a home and not a cheap trailer. The dark colors are so 20th century.
We are definitely interested. I would like to have a half bath so maybe a few feet long would accommodate the room
YES! Whose idea was it to install windows in an RV and then cover half of them with valences only a grandmother could love?
What a beauty this unit is! I can't even begin to express all the things I love about it, so I am going to ask some questions instead. I use a CPAP machine and one of things I never see addressed that there is never a shelf area next to the king size bed to place it. A built in partially hidden area would be great! Another thing is sleeping on a crappy mattress that I can tell is just over a board because of the lack of a box springs! How do most Rvers cope with this problem? I think I could get my husband to camp more if he could get a good night's sleep! One thing that he would love about this unit is the generous head room because he is 6'4"! I also didn't see any cup holders in or next to the living space furniture. Did I just miss them? I like to prevent spills. Love the pet touches because we do travel with 2 shih tzus! Is there an outside shower for washing off sand and mud from our feet and our pets? I don't want to be tracking in dirt! Thanks!
@@whereinthehellarewewill1363 What is GD TH FT?
I believe this is the nicest 5th wheel I have seen. Love the attention to detail. Not a single "swoosh" graphic. LOVE it! Please keep sub $90k and this should become the hottest selling 5th wheel. This industry needs this type of out-of-the-box thinking.
Sorry to disappoint, but their website sets the starting MSRP north of $100K.
Ugly windows have been a part of RVing forever and these folks said "stop the madness!" I love that simple touch of adding trim all the way around the windows. It looks much homier and higher class that way. Well done Brinkley!
+1 . The windows and the lighting are my favorite parts of this RV.
Beautiful 5th wheel
Finally a decent interior designer! The decor is fabulous, great colors, beautiful hardware and a well thought out floor plan. Best 5th wheel I’ve seen in ages. Well done!
Wow!
I agree. Gorgeous.
Came to say the same thing. Still room for improvement, but VASTLY superior to all the 100 shades of brown and mish-mashed textures that we are used to seeing.
I disagree on the decor. It depends on pricing but that theater seating color combo and dining chair color is very bad.
I disagree also and we don’t understand why they jumped around on fabric colors.
Finally something clean, elegant, and well built. Sincerely hope the rest of the industry takes note, many have shamelessly unloaded rubbish on unsuspecting customers for years, this Brinkley is a breath of fresh air!
Really nice 5th wheel hope they cause the other companies that make 5th wheels to start making better 5th wheels hope this company goes far in doing what they doing
Feel like a real home on wheels wooohooo I love it
What do you mean by "rubbish"? At this price point? This is a luxury tier coach, not an entry level stick and tin.
@@jamessimpson422 I'm old enough to remember the hype surrounding the launch of Alliance RV.
I actually love the decor! As soon as I saw the inside I wanted to meet the person who chose the decor, genius. I love the difference in colors for the couch and recliners. The paint color on the cabinets and the color of the cabinet handles, so cool. Makes me happy, I want to live here!
Brinkley, you really have nailed it‼️ Thanks to you Josh for another great video. ((Please keep in mind Josh, when you become excited (& I love your laugh) you start talking faster and sometimes are hard to understand, but that’s just me.))
This is BY FAR the most thoughtfully laid out 5th wheel I've ever seen! The windows are fantastic, I noticed the lack of trim and crown moulding immediately as what makes it look like a small apartment rather than an RV. LOVE the kitchen!!!
Yea a more modern look. I notice RVs tend to have too much trim which makes them looked dated and unnecessarily cluttered to me.
We currently own a Grand Design Solitude fifthwheel with a similar interior. The changes that Brinkley are making are spot on. We have the trash bins beside the oven and the pull out dog bowls under the oven. Moving them to the island makes much more sense. Many of the changes are subtle but are improvements to what we have now. Minor suggestions: add a dump valve at the sewer hookup to stop “dribbles”, make the bedroom TV an option ( we never use ours), add a flip up cutting board on the end of the island, the lighting on the front cap is unnecessary and often irritating to other campers, make the two dinette chair foldable for storage, if not used, offer manually operated recliners in place of the power recliners, and opaque shower doors are a few suggestions that come to mind. I am very interested in this rig and will be looking for it early next year.
Optional TV, yes!
Oh! Yes! A flip up cutting board at the island would be great! We’re also in the *optional bedroom tv camp.
Hands down the decor this far is awesome. It does not remind me of typical RV decor, no matter how nice RV decor is, this feels different! The outlets inside the pantry is awesome as well! Love the hidden doggie dishes, the space for two trash cans, the dinette bench/ottoman that has the coffee table riser! What! These are all features I want inside my sticks and bricks!
My wife loves it. No ugly wallpaper or valances, clean simple design. She’s sold on the inside and I love the exterior, win win. I hope this causes other manufacturers to step their game up.
Often one brand can drag the rest of the industry forward like that
Notes as I watch:
Ok, those squared off windows are silently, very dramatically different from basically everything in the RV market.
Interior multicolored fabric/leatherettes are a nice touch. Not colors often seen paired.
The floor flush kitchen slide is excellent. I like the better storage above the door side super slide.
I really like the simple fascia, window enclosures.
The choice to use more drawers is more expensive, but it does help with access down low.
Can they please raise the outlet up the wall in the slide to near the bottom of the table.
Excellent euro-style styling.
The execution of this model is crazy good.
The position of outlets is pretty much where I would expect to see them...for a well designed kitchen. Well do
Factory air in the BR.
TY for all this
Some solid points here :)
I agree,raise the outlet so it’s reachable while sitting at the table.
The complete home run is the use of casements around the square angled windows. I just love the clean look it affords. No cheesy valences with equally cheap “curtains”.
Also, love the new slide feature for the bedroom, if you had to use your bed while the slide is in, you won’t potentially ruin the slide by putting weight on it when in. ❤
Looking at retirement in 2023 and have spent countless hours watching RUclips. This RV Is perfectly put together! I hope they install stackable washer and dryer option. Love the colors and all. I really appreciate what they have done to create this RV! Brinkley.. Please don’t change the good you have already done.. the shower is perfect the way it is. Can’t wait till you put it out so we can purchase it!
Stackable is totally possible. Prototype #1 had it as a proof of concept
Not a fan of painted cabinets, I like stained and cleared wood.
This RV is a WOW ! The colors, the layout, the storage, the windows are all superior. Just amazing.
Thanks again Josh for finding us a treasure. I love your videos & your humor.
Finally, someone has heard me yelling for more light, bright and simple design! I LOVE it! Brinkley has nailed it! Specific kudos for the window frames, simple cabinetry, door shade, bathroom and bedroom closet design. I love the televator and the table bench seat/coffee table. Small touches like the shelving tucked here and there is terrific. I'd like to see a different contrasting color on the theater seats, but the furniture style is very attractive. Night tables would be very, very welcome. I'm loving the exterior, too! Very classy with no need to "out swirl decal" the competition. Just one question, when and where can I buy one? Thank you Brinkley, from all of us who've been holding out for a rig such as this. We just ask that you keep the quality control spot on, as we're eager to see much more from you. Go Brinkley!
And btw Josh, Manfred Mann all the way. ;-)
Totally agree one the swirl decal. Unnecessary. KISS principle.
Other RV manufacturers should take notes….. this is an absolutely amazing RV from floor to ceiling. Love not seeing all the crown molding, without it the living space feels a lot more open. Making an outside accessible door to the empty space under the sofa is just BRILLIANT!!! That’s a space that goes unused in most RV’s d/t inaccessibility. Honestly I just love everything about this rig!!!
Very glad to see a company that knows how to hinge a pantry door in such a way as to allow access with a partially open slide, and full access to the fridge with a closed slide. These and so many other small details..this one is well thought out. Now please give us an option for the old fashion pull out entry steps so we can get in it while in the storage unit.
I really like the molding around the windows, makes it look homey. Like the big pantry door, like the no carpet slides, like the end tables and the spaces beside the stove. Like the adjustable shelves in the pantry. Here is a big 2 suggestions: make the steps more and not so steep and there needs to be night stands on each side of the bed, big enough for C-pap machines. Love the colors! Yes on the second air!
FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY! I have just seen the perfect RV. This thing is so awesome. The profile of this 5th wheel is so sleek. My husband said it looked like a seagull, which for him is a complement. You can tell it was built by people who listen and who have wanted these same selections for a long time. I wish you would have mentioned the tint on the windows. Every person I know that has an rv in Texas has either those windshield shades for vehicles, or like me Attic Foil in the windows to block out the heat.
Love this rv. It's so clean looking.
WoO!!
@@JoshtheRVNerd They told me they line their shades with aluminum or something like that. Should block the heat pretty good.
I love the decor in all the rooms and the fact that if you didn’t know it was a 5th wheel you would think it was just a very nice apartment no old school look anywhere . And the outside is just gorgeous the lines and colors are stunning.
A coffee table in an RV! With storage in it! That turns into a table! Outlets everywhere. If that's indicative of the level of original thinking that's going on, I want to see more from Brinkley.
That is unbelievably perfect. I can't even imagine actually being able to live and camp in that. The only thing I would love to see it the interior with the farm house style decore that Jayco has done in a few of their RVs
Totally impressed. The interior is the best I’ve ever seen. The moulding around the windows and the actual windows look residential. The walls are light and bright. The indirect lighting is awesome. The fixtures in the shower with multiple body sprayers are a real luxury. An absolute show stopper who will give the high class manufacturers some good competition. Sleek looking exterior. Chef’s kiss!!
Love everything! Decor, flexibility, colors and materials, storage....very nicely done! As a designer, you can't please everyone and decor style is extremely subjective. But by today's design aesthetic they nailed it. 😀
This caught my attention immediately by the inside decor. Very clean, modern, and classy. Not once did I stop and say nope that's not good. Very well made and thought out. Kudos to Brinkley for creating an RV to love and enjoy, not just make money off of people. I can say the only things I would miss is a small dishwasher, and a soaked tub. Very well done guys!!!!! 💯 I have been looking and this one just made my mind up. Can't wait till they are out...I will be looking to get one of these beautiful RV's.
The funny thing is that this looks like any house flip done right. The RV industry is so behind that any RV done right is suddenly mesmerizing 👍
lol I get it
Looks great! Would love to see their version of a bunkhouse! Love the decor. Thank you Brinkley!
I am happy to hear that the manufacturers actually lived in it and used it to get the real deal. I can name a few dozen things GD failed on.
Definately a second AC. Love the details. The wood trim, the framed windows, the bathroom wall, even the odd closet door mirror. Not a fan of the white and gray, but thats a personal thing. Also like the funky dining chairs. Just my own weird observation, and I can’t explain it, but when you did the full side view, it made me think of a Yacht. Its probably the lines and the way they did the colors, but its a cool effect.
I love seeing all of these features in a mid profile 5th wheel! I just hope it doesn't come with a big Montana price tag due to this. Either way, it's an incredible looking RV, that paint package is killer! This really does look like what I expect the fleet at large will "catch up to" design wise, just a perfect modern RV.
Very Very nice, what type of ROOFING and warranty? . Only thing I didn't care for the mustard color theater seating, would like an option for natural wood cabinets. Thanks Tcollins 😊
You can tell the builders and designers are hands-on users. Probably the nicest layout of any 5th wheel I've toured. And I'm very critical.
The difference really does show
Love the residential feel. The trim around the windows is much cleaner than the traditional boxy valences.
Agreed
Josh, Thanks to you bringing this and Brinkley for giving you the early red carpet access to enable so many of us to take in what they have clearly spent a lot of time designing and crafting. Very nicely done!
😃
Wow... Finally a true innovative RV manufacturer that gets what is important! The running gear being 17'.5 tires and large capacity tanks. Awesome storage and lighting. An entry door that gives you a window and ability to shade from bottom to a rear exterior storage compartment. It definitely needs another AC in the bedroom and I HATE the banana seat dinette chairs and color, but everything else they nailed it. Hopefully, it's priced right as I will be watching this start-up very closely as I have with Alliance - both are very impressive!
Smaller, rugged, but elegant, we've been waiting for this!! ❤ the couch side tables. ❤ the colors. ❤ that the oven is in center of counter. The trim on windows is lovely. The bench very versatile- great idea. Thank you for putting dimmers on the lights! Fridge access a big plus. The door hand rail- ingenious! Thank you for the stackable W/D- that's how it should be! Only one negative- ditch the side-by-side fridge. Beautiful coach! Can't wait to see what's next!!
Wow! This is awesome! Thank you Brinkley for allowing us to see it first and thank you for the thought put into your build. I love it and look forward to seeing what the future holds for you and us!
Right now My wife and I are full timing in a wilderness 3357kl. I would trade no questions asked for that Brinkley. That RV is absolutely stunning and I love they care enough to go above and beyond just that extra little bit. Truly a beautiful piece of art.
This is an amazing fifth wheel. The decor is awesome and looks like something you would see in a staged home for sale, not a RV. The dog bowl station is AMAZING! And the shower light - omg where have these features been?! Very well thought thru!!!
Thanks for the first look. Seems as if Brinkley is headed in the right direction. I am really liking the attention to detail, like the pet friendly additions. I didn't know I needed those cabinets above the recliners, LOL, but wishing I had them in our rig. Couple of things: in the video, it looked as if the corners on the island need to be rounded off a bit, tthey look sharp; and I'd miss the window behind the bed (i am a tad claustrophobic), I'd vote for that. Is there a window emergency egress? I didn't notice if that was a thing with the frameless windows. Everything else looks great, other than for me personally I would change out all that plain cabinetry for something a bit more zhuzhed up. But not a deal breaker.
Absolutely gorgeous so far in the main living.
Yep...the yummy flowed throughout that whole rig. It's like a luxury apartment on wheels. I'm not a 5th wheel lover but that thing is so smartly planned and executed that it's one I'd consider getting a truck for.
They had Josh do the first walk through because they knew he's the best at it! Great job Brinkley. 👏 Can wait to see what's next.
It's about time a manufacturer did something smart. Love it!!!!
Thx Andrew
Really attractive 5th wheel from the outside and I'm really impressed with the interior quality and amenities. It really checks all the boxes and then some. It'll be interesting to find out the price comparatively for such a well done 5th wheel.
They nailed it in my opinion. I have a lot of favorites about the camper I like but the square windows and trim does it for me. The other feature I noticed right away were the end tables actually look like end tables instead of a stupid box. And I hope they make a travel trailer with bunks and a master bedroom slide. 😉😉😉 oh, and kitchen counter space to prep meals. My wish list not much just a whole new camper for Brinkley to design.
@@BrinkleyRV awesome!! Will be looking forward to seeing them.
A big thank you to all involved! 🙌🏼🙌🏼This is a game changer for sure, leaving others in the dust. I have always felt that the people who use the product, are the ones that know best what is needed with it. LOVE the clean lines!! No swirly lines on the outside!!
Suggestions,
👉🏼 Not sure if it does, but the outlet under dining table should have USB port also
👉🏼leave the paper towel area open with just the garbage pull out to have a door. (Messy hands getting a paper towel)
molding
Love that USB idea. TY
Same guys who started grand design started this company
Thanks for giving us an early preview. Great 5th wheel. This is the first one I have ever taken an interest in. Clean open space with no molding at the ceiling/wall interface. The simple chairs under the no-knee-knock table and couch end tables open underneath, floating island with indirect lighting, etc., it all adds up to a clean inside look. It does not remind me of my grandmothers living room! I’m 66 years young. So that’s saying something. It is well executed inside and out. The overall shape looks great too.
Now… if I can only win the lottery. 🤔
This unit is totally amazing. I love window shades the simplicity of wood accent on the slides and windows. The night light in bedroom is a very nice touch. The overall decor soooo pretty. The exterior is very very beautiful simple but sharp
If I could ever get my captain back into a 5th wheel, this one just might be what convinces him! Absolutely stunning and I don't mean just the esthetics. The mechanicals, the machining, the structure. This meets the true nature of what the RVer of today truly wishes for. We went from 5th wheel to Class C.
I love the valances on the sides of the windows to keep the sun from creeping around the edges if you want it dark. I like the bench/chair combo for the dinette with the ability to move the bench over as a foot rest or extra table. I love that the dinette table is mounted to the wall so I don't smash my knees or stub my toes. I love no vents in the floor and no carpet (if I want a carpet let me put a throw rug in). I love the allocated space for the garbage cans, paper towel holder and dog bowls. Very well done. I believe I saw a skylight in the bedroom on the initial video. I'm okay with that as long as I can block out all light if I want to sleep in. I would like to have a coat closet inside the door but that's not a deal breaker. However, I do not like the steps that fold into the coach! They do not work in tight spaces. I would rather have the old steps that fold back in and I can put out as many steps as I need or have space for.
I absolutely love this rv and the creativity of thinking outside of the box with the decor. Hands down with no runner up, this is my favorite fifth wheel. I love all the windows along with the window trim, the flush slide flooring, the furniture color scheme.
Absolutely LOVE everything about this. All the little pet touches and the décor is amazing! Cannot wait to see one in person!
I'm super excited to see how they continue to refine it into the final product
Love the colors and the decor, storage and all the residential cabinets. Better than alot of starter homes.
Absolutely stunning! Would definitely recommend the 2nd AC, slide toppers and making the entry steps wider( they looked a bit narrow and there was definitely room). Hopefully it’s not too pricey!
Yes. Wider steps
Agree, second AC and inverter should be standard.
@@BrinkleyRV what other floor plans are working on? My family definitely needs a mid bunk and if it has the features this has you can consider it bought for me. Lol. Also when do you expect to start selling?
Owned this camper for 5 days. Awesome. Love the magnets and all the lights. If I have any complains its the skinny medicine cabinet and no room for cloth hampers in bathroom or bedroom. But Love it. Lots of Great Features.
Thanks for sharing. Love hearing from real owners
There's a lot going on here that I like, and gives me some ideas to do to my RV that I never even considered I needed, until now. I like the extended entry handle, the built in hose reels, the under RV lighting, and the list goes on. This is not my style RV, but they have a lot of really good things for someone to enjoy that is looking for this style.
I love just about everything in this rig!! Only thing I would prefer is a dark choice on the theater seats and chairs for the table. I love that you can move the bench and make a coffee table/extra table for the couch! Yes to 2nd ac as I live in NC! Love the windows! Love the oven!
MINE!!! Luv it all. My first time commenting on an RV. The only thing I would change is out with table and chairs and put in sofa have lagoon tables that can be removed when not necessary. I am a nurse and I am looking at this with more disabled versatility. I think using an exterior table for good weather and flip down counter and stool or aforementioned lagoon would be my favorite. King size bed great, bath very roomy, definitely 2nd a/c in bedroom. Luv the window trim and day screens, dimmer lights a must have. I have never been r.v.ing but I watch your info's all the time. You have given your audience everything they could ever want. Thank you. In particular I am appreciating the color scheme and floor.
Love the decor, windows, bedroom closet,storage placement of everything. A really nicely thought out fifth wheel.
Love the exterior colors, classy and definitely not plain jane, and that logo is on point. I'd like to see the windows open, but they sound great. Interior-wise, It's very modern, love the colors, the only light I didn't care for was above the table, but not a big deal at all, I'm sure it's loved by many. I also really like the bright wall color, not the beige basketweave we usually see. It is very well thought out. Would definitely want AC in the bedroom, and keep a maxx fan off of center, not over the bed, to keep that cool breeze coming in.
Thank you Brinkley for the focus on detail and exceptional wokr
Like to see the kitchen sink on one end of the island and not in the middle. Nice unit.
yes, sink to one side for more prep space on the other side.
I’m also a huge fan of the DRAIN being offset so you can have things in the sink without covering the drain.
Well, wow! Lots of features that I wouldn't have expected. Very modern and convenient. The handrail is thoughtful and a real safety feature in wet conditions. Lots of high end 5th wheels will be playing catchup.
Finally a great-looking and well designed RV that I would actually buy. And no hideous swooshes on the exterior. Game changer!
WOW! That is a great look inside! Very modern, very modern home feel, great color choices. Well done!
Love it! ❤️ I would love to see one that is state park friendly too!! Fabulous job Josh!!
Awesome that Brinkley let us take a very detailed tour. Thanks Brinkley and Josh! I love it and hope they go further and maybe build the same thoughtful & very nice.. Camper Van B+. Exceptional RV brand Brinkley!!💕
I was really humbled they sought me out first to get this footage!
Love the “white” electric plugs! You can actually SEE them to plug in things! Over 30 foot need 2nd air under 30 foot one air is ok. I camp in mid Fl. Year round.
OMG this is truly amazing. I can't wait to see one in person in Ontario, Canada. Love everything about it and this will be worth the transition to a 5th wheel. Love the simple clean lines, furniture choices, cabinetry etc. Plus we'll be able to tow it with the truck we have. Thank you for another great video to bring us this latest RV. Factory installed second a/c would be a great addition.
I saw one of these at the RV show in Lincoln Nebraska this weekend. It is beautiful! The leather on the couches like butter! This would definitely be an RV that I would consider full timing in its well-built, well appointed and absolutely gorgeous.❤
Oh, and the best part …. No stupid, ugly outdated valances! It’s truly a dream.♥️
The "look factor" of these truly is a cut above
Looks great! I love the look of the windows and how they are framed out inside instead of having the valence. Big fan of this one and excited to see what else they come up with if this is their first model.
Oooooooh Josh! This is brilliant, gorgeous, and soooooo needed in the industry! Thank you Brinkley for listening to what people wanted and making those tweaks! Hubby and I have looked at so many of the new models and there is always something I like and something I hate. Until I saw this video, what we wanted was just not out there; it felt like we needed to Frankenstein a unit to get what we wanted. I realize that this is only prototype number two, but I’m wondering when we will see other models from Brinkley? Also, the decor is PERFECT! It has a really residential feel to it (love the exterior square windows with the black frames….. very modern and in line with current sticks & bricks homes). I cannot wait to see this company grow and grow!
I think we're going to see great things here
Saw this in-person today at AT&T Stadium at an RV Show. Nate Goldenberg (one of the founders) was there and walked my wife and I through the unit. Very impressive unit. As Josh covered in the video there was a ton of small, thoughtful touches and improvements to make the unit more durable. Even simple things like including the window shade and door handle on the screen door. Absolutely crazy that you would spend $90K on an RV and then have to add things like that. Brinkley includes all that up front. RV looked VERY clean and crisp in-person. This unit is now at the top of our list.
It's that thoughtful attention to detail that draws me to them. The layout might be nothing new, but it's the _execution of that layout_ that truly shines
Love, love, love!!! Looks like a home and not an RV. Beautiful, practical storage and very stylish. Only thing to add are the inverter and lithium batteries. Love the exterior too.
I love love the decor. This is what I have been waiting to huy as my last RV. I am so impressed!! Thank you Brinkley and of course Josh. Job well done.
Our pleasure!!
Given the fact that my family name is Brinkley, I couldn’t wait for a first look at this. WELL DONE!! Absolutely fascinating to see common sense and luxury meld together. I love the fact that it is mid profile. I’ve been RVing for 35 years and can see Brinkley being my last and favorite rv. 2 ac’s are a must have for me. I absolutely love the shades that raise from the bottom. Thank you Brinkley RV!!!!!
I love this so much!! I may have just changed my dream next RV except we really really are in love with the front living models and the huge bathrooms they give you. I really hope they come out with a front living model bc it will be ours!
Wow! They nailed it! Love nearly everything about it.
At this point, why not just add the vent covers? Adding the vent cover will top it off nicely 😉
2nd air for sure.
I kinda agree on the vent covers
I Love this PERFECT fifth wheel! The only thing I would add to make it even more perfect would be an outdoor kitchen !!!
Extra Perfecter lol :)
I love everything so far at 10:32 I really like the trim around the windows.
Wow. Love the dining table with the pull-out drawer for sure. The pull out residential waste basket hopper is awesome. Built in usb/c into outlets was genius. The flip'up side tables by the couch with storage is rather cool. Definitely factory installed second air in BR. The electric dump valves are nice but the mechanical ones are easy to replace if they break. I would like to see them do a bunk room version too. Overall, a home run…….maybe a version too around 9500 lbs dry weight for us Super Duty gassers!
This thing looks awesome! The auto level controls should be mounted on the door. This make it easy to see what you’re doing when hitching/unhitching. Great video!
SOLID input. TY
I believe this company is about to Grand Design and the industry as a whole a run for their money! Brinkley RV has done a phenomenal job with taking the time to bring back features you use to see in high end Motorhomes with a beautiful modern design and functionality! I can’t wait to see one in person!
This is great. Love the concept and it looks well executed. A mid profile with full profile features and big holding tanks is something I have been wishing existed. I really like that they went with a larger 36 volt solar panel. Idk what the pricing is whole sale but retail those aren't generally much more expensive than the smaller 12 volt panels despite making way more power. It's a smart choice.
I absolutely LOVE THIS 5th Wheel! Like you said, this may be the last one we would ever need. It is so stylish, elegant and technology pleasing. I saw the floor plan had the queen bed option. It would be great to get the queen bed with side tables on each side. Love this thing from front to back. We are really looking forward to hearing the price point these will come in at and getting to walk one in the coming year. Thanks for sharing this great video with us!
Overall this is fantastic! There were some cosmetic choices that are not my personal taste. I'm not a fan of the saddle tan dining chairs or theater seat but I'm fine with the actual design of them I would just prefer them in different colors. I do like that they did use leather or leatherette (whatever it's called) on the fabric because it's much easier to clean and take care of. I love all the pet features because I would definitely be traveling with multiple small dogs so having a place for water bowls would be wonderful. I love the pantry shelves how they are flexible and can flip up or down to somewhat customize the space for what you most need it for. I love that it's 12 volt refrigerator and there is extra solar to support that. I like the larger more residential looking oven and of course having a large One bowl kitchen sink is my preference but I know many will prefer a tubal sink. I love that there's space for a coffee bar or a landing area over as you come in and of course the way the shade is positioned in the door is very nice and much needed in the industry even though it is a small thing it is one of those things that I think many RVs would appreciate. Yes to a second a/c! The bathroom is very nice and I really like that they continue the Corian into the bathroom. If you are traveling with kids that are not very neat, I would be concerned about water leakage but not with these salad surface countertops. Also the extra counter space off to the right is very nice and helps to maximize available getting ready space. Also the big cabinet space under the sink is great as well as drawer space. The linen cabinet is very nice and I appreciate having a door on it yet you still have a little cubby where you can have extra TP available when needed. I believe the shower does have a handheld wand that I couldn't see it completely. Being disabled, I need to be able to put a chair and a and have a handheld wand available. The only thing I would change about the shower is I would consider getting rid of the model with the small plastic built-in seats if you want to call them that and I would prefer to have one of the drop-down wooden seats that I've seen in many fifth wheels. I think it allows for maximum space in the shower if you don't need a seat yet you have a very nice seat available if you do need one. Any chance an RV manufacturer would consider putting a grab bar in a shower? I would think older or disabled people would find that very beneficial. This is actually a functional bathroom for me as a disabled person. I do use a wheelchair but I can walk a small amount so I would be able to get into this bathroom pretty easily. The outside storage is excellent. I can't speak to tow rating or any of those types of features that I will defer to those of you who have knowledge of that specifically. I'm curious as to what the max solar available is as I would be interested in going off grid and using solar as much as possible to power everything. Also would like more information about the automatic tank working that you mentioned. Being disabled and only have the use of one arm due to a stroke, hooking up for dumping tanks is a big concern of mine about RVing.
Wow! I could say so many nice things but I would be repeating other peoples comments I am sure. You cannot please everyone of course, however I could not imagine many dislikes other than decor tastes or floor plan preferences. Brinkley seems to have nailed it when it comes to conception, design and execution. I look forward to seeing what else they have planned and very possibly will be be a customer depending on price and availability. Another great video Josh!!!!!
Repeat away!!! 😂

I eagerly await production, pricing, future plans, & other details from Brinkley. As a Canadian I hope they have considered us potential northern customers as well. Brinkley, I look forward to seeing/hearing more from you.
Thank you Brinkly! And thank you josh for a thorough and entertaining tour!!!!💝💝💝
☺
Very nice unit that was well thought out. Yes on 2nd AC. Really like the interior window treatment and that they open, along with the screen and blackout shades. The interior design and decor is great. Looking forward to a full walk through when it has been released.
I really like the contrast in colors and materials. I really love the design choices in this unit
Simple and classic! Love the windows, extra storage, so much counter space, all the lighting options...absolutely love it all!!
Really nice 5th wheel inside and out. Fantastic touches. Now as long as they can hire decent carpenters. Most campers fit & finish typically sub-par.
Awnings slides standard would have been nice too.
Thank you Brinkley and Josh! Been waiting for their first release. I thought I read they were going to focus on smaller travel trailers. There is nothing about this 5th wheel I didn't like. Beautiful decor so tastefully done! I just wonder what the length is. My guess is around 35'. Love the windows that look like frames. Can't wait to see more. The folks at Brinkley must be so excited to see all their hard work coming to fruition. Will they be debuting at the Tampa RV Show. I'm sorry they couldn't make Hershey as I was at that show.
Yeah, I was wondering what the Length was too...
Sorry - 34’11”
I missed it
Trailers will come eventually
If there was a perfect RV, this is definitely the one. I'm so impressed!!!!!!
Style and comfort seem to be priorities for Brinkley. Looking forward to learning more about this new brand!
Me too :)
Love all the design choices , can’t wait to see other floor plans . Rear kitchens and a half bath w/ stackables in it , not in the closet . ❤
Just toured this model at my local RV center and I have to say I loved it. The details look so high end and the king size bed with actual closet had me wanting to take it home today
Ty for sharing!!
This is absolutely beautiful! I love the decor colors and accents. 😍 You can tell they are actual RVers by certain little details. It doesn't look like space was wasted which we all know is important. I love all the storage too. So awesome! They did great-and not just for a first model. This is better than a lot I've seen in the past few years!
I love the windows and simple added space to store items. Example on each side of the couch and coffee table and so on. I would like to know if Brinkley had done anything differently with the insulation of floor, side walls, and roof. Great video and keep up the great work. Much appreciated
It's beautiful!! I love the interior. I would love to see a shorter version (about 30 feet), and the kitchen island without the sink. I would use the island for more workspace and put the kitchen sink on the wall under a nice-sized window next to the stovetop. And, maybe have access to the bathroom from the bedroom. Thanks, Josh for keeping us informed and updated on what's new in the industry. Love your channel!!!!!!!
This looks great!!! I also love the minimalist look to everything, but it still looks super classy. I'm anxious to see what the pricing and availability will look like. I'm also REALLY impressed with the axles and tire ratings. I've had two blowouts on the road with my current trailer, due to lower quality tires from the factory, and I love the idea of having more capacity than you really need. Gives me more peace of mind. Great walk-through! Thanks, Josh!
Ty Dave!!
