I love the trailer and the rear patio. My only concern is the placement of the rear patio steps. Since the trailer itself is already so long, with the patio down makes it even longer at the campsite. Then you have the steps facing the rear of the patio requiring even more space behind the trailer. I'm thinking maybe it would be better if the steps are shifted 90 ° towards the camp side instead of the rear of the trailer to cut down on the space needed and also easier on and off the patio from camp.
@@JeannePetrocelli I think you can close it. Look at the railing at the 0:10 mark at the beginning of the video. you can see that the swinging door is in the open position up against the camp side railing.
This is amazing! I love some of the standard changes, like the new dining table, new living room A/C, outside accessory hookup, etc.. As an early Z3100 owner, I’m jealous!
I love the back deck and standing applause for the build quality. That bathroom, chef kiss. Zero-100 rating, golf clap. I want ABS; everyone should be phasing this into their product lines. The weight of this is too much for my 2500, but it's still a great-looking unit. Truly the Bentley of RVs
Wish it was smaller... like 33'! But i love what Brinkley is doing!! Something like the 2900 with the deck would be amazing. I like the way the bed faces on that model! Thx Josh!!! U da man!
I know that KZ is the only other manufacturer to offer a non-toy hauler patio, and is still about 37 1/2 feet long. I don’t know what you would give up, but if there were a way to have a 35’ish version, that would be great.
@JoshtheRVNerd dont need outside kitchen on deck. Smaller kitchen. Maybe televator on rear wall with fireplace. Then flip flop where the couches go to both sides of the rear.
Hi everyone. Looking forward to unveiling the new Model Z 3400. We will have representatives from Brinkley on throughout the day to answer any questions you might have. Let us know what you guys think!
Love this set up and the rear deck. Well thought out. I hope they add an accessory close in the rear deck for people who might want to use that area in cooler or wet weather.
Drove me nuts for so long that you could only get a patio on a toy hauler. Great to finally see a company doing something with it and showing how great it could be on a regular trailer. Hopefully it catches on, on a larger scale. Great floor plan.
Love love love. Thank you Brinkley and josh!!! 3 things. Stairs that can go off camp side in case you don't have the space off the back. A recliner for cuddling with spouse and dogs...no center fixed armrest. And a pull out shelving in bathroom!!! Otherwise perfect!! Can't wait to walk thru in Tampa.
This is possibly the best RV I've ever seen. I really wish I had the money to buy it and something that can tow it. Brinkley did so much right here nitpicking things I'd change feels petty. My only serious complaint is the patio fridge not being 12 volt. Being able to put the patio steps on the camp side might be a useful feature, too, depending on how the site is set up. The rear might be overhanging something you don't want to step into. The patio is awesome, and I prefer this party set up to a toy hauler. I tend to get rained on a lot when I camp, so being able to be outside and dry is great. The outside speakers are really well done, both on the patio and underbelly. They're out of the weather and adjustable right where they are. The option to put a TV on the camp side is nice if you've got a gameday party around a campfire or need more room than the patio can hold. Propane hookups at either end is a nice touch. Basement is massive, and the easy access to the guts of the RV is great. The space for bigger propane tanks the generator prep is much appreciated, as is the headroom and lights above the utility hookups. I was a little confused seeing that cargo door, but as Josh explained it makes a lot of sense, especially if still in road mode. Moving on to the interior, I can't say enough good things about that sliding desk/table. Whoever came up with it is a genius and needs to get paid more. I'd probably upgrade to a nice office chair or two and use the higher portion for laptop/computer and a MFC, then use the slideout part for meals. I could easily see a couple with Starlink working from home in this. This is certainly full time livable. The theater seating right across from the fireplace and TV is awesome, especially with the TV at the proper height. The wireless charging pad is great because much of the time people don't have a cord on them, although that armrest storage is perfect for cords. With the ports inside it, I don't know why you'd bother putting the additional ones in the outside of the seats. The hide-a-bed sofa is great for guests or kids to sleep on, although the recliners look comfortable enough to crash on. The kitchen is awesome with tons of counterspace. The storage is unbelievable, especially that pantry. The bigger oven is perfect for when you need to make tendies for everybody. The second trash can is perfect to throw empties in. The toe room around the island is nice. I prefer blackout shades that slide from below, as you can lift them part way to make it harder to see into the RV while still seeing out. The coat closet right by the door is something more RVs need. I love it. No complaints about the bathroom, except I wonder if the shelf under the sink can be removed to put a trash can there instead. Shower headroom and lighting are perfect. In the bedroom, personally I prefer the queen with side tables option. Storage and washer/dryer prep is excellent. Brinkley actually making the bed useable in road mode puts them head and shoulders above other makers. Speaking of road mode, the most important thing for me is bathroom access. Being able to use the bed is nice, too, and anything else is pure gravy. Overall, I give this a 10 outta 10. Maybe a few years down the line I'll be able to afford a used one.
A few changes. 1. Option for no "wet bar". This would leave a tiny garage that could hold a motorcycle, or 2-3 ebikes, or a mobility scooter, or kids toys. 2. Make the "cargo door" taller to make it easier to walk into or put items in the garage. 3. Option for a slide out ramp or stairs for the cargo door. Ramp if you want to put motorcycle, ebikes or mobility scooter. Stairs if you want easier access to the kitchen area in travel mode. I'm sure that a system could be designed for both stairs and slideout ramp. The stairs would also allow access if the campsite is too short to drop the patio. A great safety feature. Also the island should not block the sight lines from theater seats to TV. And the extra couch should be an option. Without the couch you could then walk into the kitchen in travel mode. Part of the reclaimed space could be a coffee station.
Brinkley just keeps blowing my mind!! The only thing that i am kinda worried about is that i did not see any grab handles on the roof to help you get on the roof after you climb up the ladder. My luck i would fall off the roof. Other than that, Love it!! Love it!! Thanks nerd for showing this one!!
Love the colors and furniture choices. Medicine cabinet, patio fridge facing the access door, larger black tank and smaller gray tank, and patio step facing campside would be perfect.
I really like this! I think I would rather have one door in the bathroom so you have more wall space to hang towels. I’d have to see the queen bed with bed sides. Hopefully that’s more CPAP friendly. I’m grasping at straws. It’s really well done. I wonder if they’ll offer a Brinkley darts set for the outside. Can you imagine the horror 😂
This is simply the best floor plan my wife and I have ever seen. We can’t wait to see this in person at the Hershey RV show. The patio sold this to us immediately. We had planned on getting a Class A Tiffin; however, after seeing how unique and different that Brinkley designs and builds their units, we knew we had to go with this company. It combines my wife’s love for our patio with my desire to have a bar while giving us a beautiful off the ground lounging spot for our dogs next to us. Absolutely genius!!!
Perfect for what I need and want. It will be just me and my blind Rottweiler. I'll have a large desk space for multiple monitors, an outdoor area that the pup & I can hang out without her being on a leash!
Wow, this checks all our boxes. My wife and I have been doing our research for the last 3 years. We enjoy your videos and then educational as well. We also appreciate your transparency on the aspects of buying and owning an RV. I was very impressed with Brinkley and this model. We have been looking at many manufacturers and dealers for the last 3 years. Our only concern would be weather energy efficiency since our family members are spread throughout USA. We will deal with extreme heat of Arizona and the cold of Alaska. My wife and I will be inquiring about this model. Thank you Brinkley for redefining the industry.
Thank you for the kind comments! In terms of camping in different climates, we have owners all over the US and Canada. A lot of our customers are living in them and traveling the country
Please have this model available at the Abbotsford, BC RV SHOW. We too have been looking for several years & the BRINKLEY hits most of our wants out of the park. Brinkley seems to really are & listen to what RV’s are requesting & looking for. ❤️❤️❤️
Love the two doors in the bathroom. It’s great for being able to move in and out of the bathroom while getting ready and not having to go down the hall to get there and worry about visitors or guests. It’s also super useful at night to use the bathroom and not disturb guests (I know, probably not often) or pets that don’t sleep in the bedroom with you. Also much easier to use that zonal air conditioning to its best. 👍👍
On the back patio fridge, I would suggest moving the fridge to the open end of the counter assembly. And then either putting the door side to the hallway or finding a way to be able to pivot the fridge, so the fridge can be loaded up with supplies with the patio door closed. As it is now, the rear patio fridge is completely blocked when the patio door is closed.
YES!! Love the patio on this traditional 5th wheel. My wife and I don't need a toy hauler and this is awesome with the patio. My next video is the factory tour! I just have to know how they are built. 🙂 Thank you so much for all you do to make these videos!
14:21 You had just talked about using a different camera. There was definite color change as you zoomed in on the theater seats. They went from the rich golden buckskin to a pale shade of beige.
WoW! Nailed it except I would like to see a mount for a blackstone on the rear deck. Maybe put the utility rails on all three sides so you can mount a cooker. But great job Brinkley and Nerd..
I would love to see a bedroom fireplace. We have a living and a bedroom fireplace in our RV. We use them more than the propane heater. But I am in Texas and we don't have the long, hard winters like more northern states do. But would be a nice option!!!
OMG. This thing is awesome. Im in an Alliance Valor right now, but this thing might have to have my name all over it. Brinkley did really good on this one.
I absolutely love what Brinkley is doing and plan to buy one in the next year. What I would love to see as a enhanced safety feature is to have the upper inset lights in the front cap to double as turn signals along with high mounted turn/brake lights so if a taller vehicle is behind the camper, the second vehicle (two behind the RV) can see the tail, turn or brake lights as soon as they are signaled. I wish all tall trailers like RV's and tractor trailers had high mounted turn/brakes lights for this reason.
I really need to unsubscribe from your channel, my wife and I have been trying to narrow down our list of 5th wheels so we can buy one, then you keep releasing videos like this and adding more to our list of ones we really like. Keep up the great work Josh.
That is a brilliant idea and floorplan for those that do not need a toy hauler. I know so many locations where that patio would be fantastic. I really like this unit and yes, stackable washer/dryer. We have had both and the combo takes hours to do one load and it has to be small. Well done Brinkley it seems you really want to provide features and quality with original ideas. A+
Couple things I see. The patio fridge should be on the end facing the hall so you can access it when the patio is closed and don’t need to go outside at night or raining etc… All bathrooms should be one entrance! That door to the bedroom is pointless and allows smells ya don’t want wafting into the bedroom. The fridge got to go! Side by side fridges are so not user friendly. They need French door with bottom freezer.
Is Brinkley using the same chassis manufacture on there units as all the rest? I.E. Lippert, the one who seems to have a lot of frame flex issues with a bunch of manufactures. And if so what have you had LIPPERT do to your frames to insure the same does not happen to yours?
Lippert is the manufacturer of our frames. We are the ones that design our chassis to make sure they are more than capable of what we are going to put on them, and then Lippert builds them to our specs instead of off-the-shelf chassis.
Brinkley is doing AWESOME with their models. I’ll take this as it is. Someone is doing some great work behind the scenes! Can’t wait to see it in Tampa!
Fantastic layout. Rear patio is incredible. Brinkley nailed this one. I'm picking up my Z3100 on Monday. But had I not already purchased it, this would have made the choice very hard for me. Great job on the video as always Josh.
I wish Brinkley would offer a mini split system in place of the rooftop AC units. I realize that this would take away a portion of one of the storage compartments, but it would be a good sacrifice. Not only would it remove multiple rooftop obstructions and penetration points, but also allow more room for solar panels. In addition, mini splits are much more efficient and extremely quiet. New Horizons offers this as an option. I wish more manufacturers would as well.
This is amazing and it's everything I could ever want if money and length weren't a limiting factor. So uhh, let me get right on those lottery tickets...
Brinkley absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one. I think I want this to be my next model of RV someday. The only thing i would suggest is possible adding a privacy shade or blinds to the patio door.
Something to think about regarding the main living area windows. If you do most of your camping at campgrounds, the side of this camper with all the big windows would be the side that looks out over your hookups and directly onto your neighbor’s set up. The small windows on the opposite side, even with the tv down, would give you limited views of your own campsite or a potential beautiful view. Otherwise, love this floor plan!
This is absolutely the Bomb!! Now if they will make it in a 30 to 32ft. will the same back patio with the outside kitchen/ bar. Then I'm ready to buy!! This is the floor plan
I would love that, but I don’t think they could do anything remotely close to this at 32’ let alone 30’. I think there would be a ton of compromises even at 35’….but we can dream…
More expensive and heavier than anything I will ever have but what a cool lay out and a bunch of ideas. The stuff coming from Brinkley is really interesting and fun to watch unfold
Really really love this unit. And I just love how Brinkley is building these. Like the Dovetail drawers. As a woodworker I can tell you that this joint is just massively better that the usual RV butt joint drawer construction. That’s a joint that can survive the rolling earthquake going down the road and it’s something that people don’t talk about enough. I really wish this had a front drop frame. It’s the one even mildly serious imperfection on an other wise perfect unit. I’d love to see some kind of floor flush toe down system inside the rear baggage door. The idea here would be to allow you to have a full size cooler sitting there that is secure. Just load that sucker up with whatever you want to eat on your travel stops and boom… Road accessible “fridge” without opening the rear patio or putting a slide out. I’d also love to see a Max Solar option with at least one more panel (if not two) and a 3000w Smart inverter that can run the whole rig though obviously not all at once. Also a heat pump AC would be a great option. My other area of concern is how long it will take to close up the rear patio if the weather takes a turn. The whole thing would ideally be engineered for very rapid breakdown. Like the ability to push a button and have the rear awning close fully without having to hold it down. Quick release pins on everything. Make sure it’s designed so that one person can secure the whole thing very rapidly. The second bathroom door seems superfluous but since it doesn’t seem like eliminating it gains you anything (there isn’t space for a cabinet on either side) it might as well stay as it makes the whole space feel more open. I also wonder about flip flopping the two slides to put the kitchen on the other side of the rig and give you more campsite windows. Seems like it should be possible. Nice job Brinkley!!!
Would you be OK with losing all the mor/ryde tray storage? That basically occupies what a drop frame would I kinda feel like the trays are a better, more useful solution myself. But that's just my two cents
@@JoshtheRVNerd I feel like even if you had to lose the trays what you would gain from the drop frame is greater. I also think you could move the tray to the back of the rig which when you consider what they hold would actually be more useful.
No one does it like Josh! Man l, when you give the RV industry the go ahead they really engineer some awesome product! Really liking this brand. Great Video as always Josh!!
If they put the back fridge on the left of the sink and had the fridge door open toward the small cargo door, it would be handy if you wanted to stop and have a sandwich or snack.
Great video bro. My main question are really to do with the type of plumbing system they use but otherwise this is my favorite layout ive seen for this price range ❤
I currently have a Montana with a residential refrigerator and couldn't do without it. I loved almost everything about it other than not bein able to use it while travelling.
High quality & great service= success, who knew!!! I can not wait to own one of these. A few minor suggestions if I may: 1. A fiberglass type roof would be more durable and less maintenance than a TPO roof imo. This may have changed already, but as of last year they said they were using TPO. 2. Have an option for chocolate brown cabinetry/trim and different color floors. I understand keeping it simple as they grow and scale, so this may already be on their list for the future. 3. Make the middle divider shelf between the washer/dryer removable. This way, the new GE all-in-one unit can fit. It's probably the best all-in-one unit on the market, but is about as tall as a front load washer on a pedestal. This way, you could still hang short clothes or have shelves for laundry soap, etc above. All in all, such an amazing company and product!
1- How much weight does the patio allow? 2- Can the dinette slide be extended part way without damage? 3- Is there an option for an electric reel for the 50 amp cord. Possibly outside of a basement? 4- Looks like there is room for a 2nd ladder storage box for other long items like brroms, walking sticks, etc. LOVE the Z3400!! Thank YOU, Roger & Brenda Jenkins
This is awesome! In addition to solar and inverter comments others have made, I would add a built-in one burner induction cooktop to the outdoor counter.
I absolutely love this floor plan. I only have one issue. It’s not a very big issue, but I would like to see a medicine cabinet. Believe it or not, that’s the only issue I have
#NerdHerd. Excellent tour Josh! The rear patio is very intriguing, but it does make her Big Gal so I am on the fence between the 3100 and the 3400. As always you have helped make me a more informed buyer because of your videos and feedback. Thanks Uncle Josh.
The table/ dinette/ work setup with wine holder... 🤌 Chefs kisses man! The colors are beautiful as well. I typically prefer the entertainment center opposite the kitchen (which is rare) but honestly the table situation makes me forget all about that!
I'm not gonna lie, I thought that single solar panel looked so small on the roof, then you said it was a 320W panel... I guess it was just small compared to that huge roof... Love the video Josh.. #NerdHerd !!🎉
Yeah remember it's nearly 39ft long total. There's a LOOOOOT of roof up there You can also add a 2nd panel to it as desired (though not from the factory). Pretty simple and easy. That black "pipe cap" on the roof is also where they run a tube down from the roof to the belly of the beast if you wanted to go whole hog with a more involved custom system
I would like the storage at the back without the kitchen area. We use our toy hauler to put our higher end bicycles in and as our sons bedroom. That is the perfect sized area for that.
I think the only thing I’d add. Would be a clip on hand railing on back patio stairs and two adjustable back patio legs for the outer corners to support decking from maybe 🤔 bouncing. Otherwise I really love the look and easy functional layout. Well done 👍🏻
I would like if Brinkley could move the side entry door to where the tv is currently and move the tv where the door is. Tv to close to the cooktop. Other than that this RV is so awesome. Love the plumbing for stackable because yes, the combo takes 3 hours to dry clothes. The cooktop oven was big enough to bake a chicken or a cake. The bedroom was so luxurious, the colors the closet just beautiful. Thank you Mr. Josh you provide the best information and detail video. You show the nooks and crannies.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I give this unit a 20+++++++ !!! I love everything about it but the weight and length . Saying that is only because I could not see myself buying a F-450 or above to haul it around . Now if I had a F-450 this would be the perfect trailer . Brinkley you have done a spectacular job on this 5th wheel !!!!
Yeah, Brinkley is pretty cool. I do like how they laid this out, minus the fact the fridge is not reachable when temporarily parked. That party feature at the rear is also pretty cool. But . . . while I am also one of those who would not need a garage . . . I would still love for that space to be turned into an office. I love the toy haulers for their patios, just not for hauling toys. I think a good sized rv, maybe about 46-48 ft long with that back area REBUILT as an extra office or bedroom would be really cool. Also . . . I am a sucker for black auto body paint. It's sleek man, sleeeeeeek. XD
The back patio without the garage is perfect. Now as a veteran the large metal plate on the back with the plus signs would be great if it was an American flag design and if the plus signs are used for attachments it could be configured into the stars of the flag.
Nerd herd. Love the quality of the Brinkley products. They are to the full service campgrounds what the ORV is to those that mainly boondock. Quality, innovation, and consistently looking for ways to improve. But also means they keep their current customers always wanting the newer model. 😆
I would strongly suggest a laundry chute so dirty laundry passes from inside the rv into one of the storage bins We always turn at least part of the under bed area into a sleep spot for our dog with a lattice door for ventilation. They love their spot!
Brinkley did an excellent job. Like the table in its multi use. Agree with the toilet platform and the heater vent. Move the wine guard, it’s in a poor position if wanting to install another solar panel in front of the current one. Has anyone thought of having two garage doors? Like the first one opening up is the roof and then the floor? Because I would utilize it better with a full enclosed room with screens vs just a screen pull down. Mods that I do is a toilet bidet, going to lithium this summer, I think it would be awesome to install a small fresh water tank (~10gals) for traveling. I would like to put in a sink dishwasher but our sink to small for that. Brinkley has mastered the quality, design and some innovative. They could use some material used in boating for lighter weight materials. For example, my trim for my slide out fell out, it was the key piece. Even being a foot wide and eight inches tall, it was a heavy piece of particle board.
I give it to Brinkley for having brought together another well-made RV. My fiancé and I have been seriously looking at models and ruled out everybody except Brinkley. When it comes time to retire, they’re the only ones I will consider. But there are a few things that I really like to see changed. I’m not a big fan Of the brown theater seating. I grew up with so much brown in the 80s and 90s. It just dates it to me. I like the look of the frameless windows, but being in the senior circuit, for some of us to turn knobs, is not the easiest with people who have arthritis. And even those windows only crack about 9 inches which to me is not a lot of airflow. I would love to see them go with something like a framed window on the inside and slide windows for better airflow. Also, when we were looking at the 3100 there was a note on the washer dryer prep area that said you needed to vent the doors when using them. Wouldn’t it be easier to have doors with slats that vent on their own. And as far as the cubbies next to it, I’d rather see a narrow storage area where I could put my laundry products. And last is the bed area. The shelf above my head doesn’t seem to useful other than things falling on my head when I’m stretching to get something off of it. And I like there is an option for a queen bed and night stands but it seems crazy to nickel and dime people to pay for an option before it leaves the factory 😟 Brinkley, keep up the good work and thank you for listening to all of our opinions and suggestions on things. I think the people have spoken and are truly wanting a great product with a company that stands by their work.
Glad I haven't bought my RV yet. I was telling my wife the other day How much I would like a patio to watch the races from but also NO giving up floor space to the garage. I just wish it was about 37 feet long . I really wanted to stay in the 35 ft to 37 ft range. Brinkley I think you have a winner here. i hope to see one at Quartzsite in a couple weeks.
Love it! The only thing is I’ll bet that many people will want to have the deck down full time but with this setup you can’t secure the kitchenette or TV. So you’d have to close up the deck every night to secure that. Love the bathroom layout and the dining/desk. Do Brinkley fridges come with ice makers? Again, spectacular design and quality.
The pantry shelves need a higher lip to keep things from falling off in transit. This is coming from a mom of 6 who camps and has packed a lot of campers.
One of Brinkley's founders actively campers and tests the first Model Z prototype before they get too far along. They took this specific RV across several states and did not have pantry issues thankfully
Love this new RV! We are looking to go full-time this year and have pretty much decided because of the customer service we are seeing that Brinkley will be our next 5th wheel! Just want to see the 3950 and decide whether that or the 3400 will work best for us!

I love the trailer and the rear patio. My only concern is the placement of the rear patio steps. Since the trailer itself is already so long, with the patio down makes it even longer at the campsite. Then you have the steps facing the rear of the patio requiring even more space behind the trailer. I'm thinking maybe it would be better if the steps are shifted 90 ° towards the camp side instead of the rear of the trailer to cut down on the space needed and also easier on and off the patio from camp.
I AGREE STEPS OFF OF DECK SHOULD BE OFF THE SIDE TOWARD CAMP-SIDE
I also think if you choose not to have steps that there should be away to close the railing completely
@@JeannePetrocelli I think you can close it. Look at the railing at the 0:10 mark at the beginning of the video. you can see that the swinging door is in the open position up against the camp side railing.
@@tmwei396 Very good, I see what you see. Thank you very much.
I like the rear steps. It would be perfect for where we camp the most.
This is amazing! I love some of the standard changes, like the new dining table, new living room A/C, outside accessory hookup, etc.. As an early Z3100 owner, I’m jealous!
Wow high marks!
I love the back deck and standing applause for the build quality. That bathroom, chef kiss. Zero-100 rating, golf clap. I want ABS; everyone should be phasing this into their product lines.
The weight of this is too much for my 2500, but it's still a great-looking unit. Truly the Bentley of RVs
TY so much!
Wish it was smaller... like 33'! But i love what Brinkley is doing!! Something like the 2900 with the deck would be amazing. I like the way the bed faces on that model! Thx Josh!!! U da man!
YES!
That would be cool! but man.. what would you give up to shrink it like that?
I know that KZ is the only other manufacturer to offer a non-toy hauler patio, and is still about 37 1/2 feet long.
I don’t know what you would give up, but if there were a way to have a 35’ish version, that would be great.
@JoshtheRVNerd dont need outside kitchen on deck. Smaller kitchen. Maybe televator on rear wall with fireplace. Then flip flop where the couches go to both sides of the rear.

It's absolutely beautiful!! Great job Brinkley! Doing it _JUST RIGHT_ -mama Bear
TY for taking the time! :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd you did an awesome job presenting it, showing us all the things. Thanks Josh! ☺️
You consistently hit it out of the park with quality, functionality, style, and all the other intangibles. The rest of the field needs to recognize!
We are in So Cal ~ when can we preorder?
Love this set up and the rear deck. Well thought out. I hope they add an accessory close in the rear deck for people who might want to use that area in cooler or wet weather.
Yes, for instance 3 season patio doors.
Drove me nuts for so long that you could only get a patio on a toy hauler. Great to finally see a company doing something with it and showing how great it could be on a regular trailer. Hopefully it catches on, on a larger scale. Great floor plan.
You and me both!
This and the 3950 will be game changers, love the Brinkley product!
🙌🏻
Love love love. Thank you Brinkley and josh!!! 3 things. Stairs that can go off camp side in case you don't have the space off the back. A recliner for cuddling with spouse and dogs...no center fixed armrest. And a pull out shelving in bathroom!!! Otherwise perfect!! Can't wait to walk thru in Tampa.
Thank you for your feedback!
Drop me a note and let me know what you think
Cuddling?? Not if I'm in a recliner with a 50" TV in front of me and a beverage in my cup holder. 😂😂
I prefer the recliner setup just like it is.
@@sbledsoe1966 to each his own!!! We have 2 golden retrievers that disagree!
I would love to see the whole patio having the ability of become a screen room to keep bugs out
I like that
This is possibly the best RV I've ever seen. I really wish I had the money to buy it and something that can tow it. Brinkley did so much right here nitpicking things I'd change feels petty. My only serious complaint is the patio fridge not being 12 volt. Being able to put the patio steps on the camp side might be a useful feature, too, depending on how the site is set up. The rear might be overhanging something you don't want to step into.
The patio is awesome, and I prefer this party set up to a toy hauler. I tend to get rained on a lot when I camp, so being able to be outside and dry is great. The outside speakers are really well done, both on the patio and underbelly. They're out of the weather and adjustable right where they are. The option to put a TV on the camp side is nice if you've got a gameday party around a campfire or need more room than the patio can hold. Propane hookups at either end is a nice touch.
Basement is massive, and the easy access to the guts of the RV is great. The space for bigger propane tanks the generator prep is much appreciated, as is the headroom and lights above the utility hookups.
I was a little confused seeing that cargo door, but as Josh explained it makes a lot of sense, especially if still in road mode.
Moving on to the interior, I can't say enough good things about that sliding desk/table. Whoever came up with it is a genius and needs to get paid more. I'd probably upgrade to a nice office chair or two and use the higher portion for laptop/computer and a MFC, then use the slideout part for meals. I could easily see a couple with Starlink working from home in this. This is certainly full time livable.
The theater seating right across from the fireplace and TV is awesome, especially with the TV at the proper height. The wireless charging pad is great because much of the time people don't have a cord on them, although that armrest storage is perfect for cords. With the ports inside it, I don't know why you'd bother putting the additional ones in the outside of the seats. The hide-a-bed sofa is great for guests or kids to sleep on, although the recliners look comfortable enough to crash on.
The kitchen is awesome with tons of counterspace. The storage is unbelievable, especially that pantry. The bigger oven is perfect for when you need to make tendies for everybody. The second trash can is perfect to throw empties in. The toe room around the island is nice.
I prefer blackout shades that slide from below, as you can lift them part way to make it harder to see into the RV while still seeing out.
The coat closet right by the door is something more RVs need. I love it. No complaints about the bathroom, except I wonder if the shelf under the sink can be removed to put a trash can there instead. Shower headroom and lighting are perfect.
In the bedroom, personally I prefer the queen with side tables option. Storage and washer/dryer prep is excellent. Brinkley actually making the bed useable in road mode puts them head and shoulders above other makers. Speaking of road mode, the most important thing for me is bathroom access. Being able to use the bed is nice, too, and anything else is pure gravy.
Overall, I give this a 10 outta 10. Maybe a few years down the line I'll be able to afford a used one.
😊 wow. Ty for all of this!!
A few changes.
1. Option for no "wet bar". This would leave a tiny garage that could hold a motorcycle, or 2-3 ebikes, or a mobility scooter, or kids toys.
2. Make the "cargo door" taller to make it easier to walk into or put items in the garage.
3. Option for a slide out ramp or stairs for the cargo door. Ramp if you want to put motorcycle, ebikes or mobility scooter. Stairs if you want easier access to the kitchen area in travel mode. I'm sure that a system could be designed for both stairs and slideout ramp.
The stairs would also allow access if the campsite is too short to drop the patio. A great safety feature.
Also the island should not block the sight lines from theater seats to TV.
And the extra couch should be an option. Without the couch you could then walk into the kitchen in travel mode. Part of the reclaimed space could be a coffee station.
Love the input. Ty so much for the ideas!
Brinkley just keeps blowing my mind!! The only thing that i am kinda worried about is that i did not see any grab handles on the roof to help you get on the roof after you climb up the ladder. My luck i would fall off the roof. Other than that, Love it!! Love it!! Thanks nerd for showing this one!!
No doubt! What a good idea!!! Not falling off the roof, but something you can grab on to!
Love the colors and furniture choices. Medicine cabinet, patio fridge facing the access door, larger black tank and smaller gray tank, and patio step facing campside would be perfect.
Yes...patio steps on campsite make so much sense - no need to add more length.Steps need a handrail.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that noticed that it needs a medicine cabinet
I really like this! I think I would rather have one door in the bathroom so you have more wall space to hang towels. I’d have to see the queen bed with bed sides. Hopefully that’s more CPAP friendly.
I’m grasping at straws. It’s really well done.
I wonder if they’ll offer a Brinkley darts set for the outside. Can you imagine the horror 😂
hahahaa sidewalls darts
Thanks for the feedback!
I also dislike the 2 door bathrooms.
It’s less of a dislike and more of an irrational deal breaking hatred.
The underbelly storage box for the steps and ladder needs to be at the back side of the RV where they are being used
This is simply the best floor plan my wife and I have ever seen. We can’t wait to see this in person at the Hershey RV show. The patio sold this to us immediately. We had planned on getting a Class A Tiffin; however, after seeing how unique and different that Brinkley designs and builds their units, we knew we had to go with this company. It combines my wife’s love for our patio with my desire to have a bar while giving us a beautiful off the ground lounging spot for our dogs next to us. Absolutely genius!!!
The people I've spoken with who've used one of these also loved it
A screen enclosure for the rear patio would be nice.
Thanks for the feedback.
Perfect for what I need and want. It will be just me and my blind Rottweiler. I'll have a large desk space for multiple monitors, an outdoor area that the pup & I can hang out without her being on a leash!
Wow, this checks all our boxes. My wife and I have been doing our research for the last 3 years. We enjoy your videos and then educational as well. We also appreciate your transparency on the aspects of buying and owning an RV. I was very impressed with Brinkley and this model. We have been looking at many manufacturers and dealers for the last 3 years. Our only concern would be weather energy efficiency since our family members are spread throughout USA. We will deal with extreme heat of Arizona and the cold of Alaska. My wife and I will be inquiring about this model. Thank you Brinkley for redefining the industry.
Thank you for the kind comments! In terms of camping in different climates, we have owners all over the US and Canada. A lot of our customers are living in them and traveling the country
Please have this model available at the Abbotsford, BC RV SHOW. We too have been looking for several years & the BRINKLEY hits most of our wants out of the park. Brinkley seems to really are & listen to what RV’s are requesting & looking for. ❤️❤️❤️
Love the two doors in the bathroom. It’s great for being able to move in and out of the bathroom while getting ready and not having to go down the hall to get there and worry about visitors or guests. It’s also super useful at night to use the bathroom and not disturb guests (I know, probably not often) or pets that don’t sleep in the bedroom with you. Also much easier to use that zonal air conditioning to its best. 👍👍
Awesome. Thank you for sharing
This. This is the perfect RV.
😃😃😃
On the back patio fridge, I would suggest moving the fridge to the open end of the counter assembly. And then either putting the door side to the hallway or finding a way to be able to pivot the fridge, so the fridge can be loaded up with supplies with the patio door closed. As it is now, the rear patio fridge is completely blocked when the patio door is closed.
Thank you for the feedback!
Several others have had that idea. TY for sharing!
That’s a great idea that we could actually get the refrigerator from the side door
If only they could have found a way to have the dining on the camp side to view our site and not the neighbour's, I think it would be perfect.
I agree! And, if possible have a French door style Fridge. So much more space in that style Fridge.
But that's how you watch people back into their site and be entertained
YES!! Love the patio on this traditional 5th wheel. My wife and I don't need a toy hauler and this is awesome with the patio. My next video is the factory tour! I just have to know how they are built. 🙂 Thank you so much for all you do to make these videos!
Our pleasure! I LOVE this model
Very cool! I like the idea of the outdoor kitchen on the patio! Brinkley as always knocked this one out of the park!
They really did
@@JoshtheRVNerd I think they meant for cooking up on the patio.
14:21 You had just talked about using a different camera. There was definite color change as you zoomed in on the theater seats. They went from the rich golden buckskin to a pale shade of beige.
Any camera with auto white balancing will do that
But that fade is exactly what I mean by “the camera doesn’t see it like you and me”
WoW!
Nailed it except I would like to see a mount for a blackstone on the rear deck. Maybe put the utility rails on all three sides so you can mount a cooker.
But great job Brinkley and Nerd..
So that rear accessory wall on the ramp MIGHT be capable of doing exactly what you are seeking..
I would love to see a bedroom fireplace. We have a living and a bedroom fireplace in our RV. We use them more than the propane heater. But I am in Texas and we don't have the long, hard winters like more northern states do. But would be a nice option!!!
Those things really do put out a LOT of heat. More than people realize
Cant wait. Your reviews are always the best sir.
Ty!!
We can't wait for Jan 4th!
Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy New Year filled with lots of love . ❤️
OMG. This thing is awesome. Im in an Alliance Valor right now, but this thing might have to have my name all over it. Brinkley did really good on this one.
Thank you for the kind words!
High praise considering Valor's are pretty studly in their own right!
Can’t wait for this video to premiere! Your RV videos are the best!
Thanks so much!
I absolutely love what Brinkley is doing and plan to buy one in the next year. What I would love to see as a enhanced safety feature is to have the upper inset lights in the front cap to double as turn signals along with high mounted turn/brake lights so if a taller vehicle is behind the camper, the second vehicle (two behind the RV) can see the tail, turn or brake lights as soon as they are signaled. I wish all tall trailers like RV's and tractor trailers had high mounted turn/brakes lights for this reason.
Great idea
I really need to unsubscribe from your channel, my wife and I have been trying to narrow down our list of 5th wheels so we can buy one, then you keep releasing videos like this and adding more to our list of ones we really like. Keep up the great work Josh.
hahahaha
💯 this is probably my dream RV layout here! My only concern is will it be too big for an f250? 🤔
That is a brilliant idea and floorplan for those that do not need a toy hauler. I know so many locations where that patio would be fantastic. I really like this unit and yes, stackable washer/dryer. We have had both and the combo takes hours to do one load and it has to be small. Well done Brinkley it seems you really want to provide features and quality with original ideas. A+
Couple things I see. The patio fridge should be on the end facing the hall so you can access it when the patio is closed and don’t need to go outside at night or raining etc… All bathrooms should be one entrance! That door to the bedroom is pointless and allows smells ya don’t want wafting into the bedroom. The fridge got to go! Side by side fridges are so not user friendly. They need French door with bottom freezer.
Someone else mentioned that fridge swap
It’s not an awful idea
Is Brinkley using the same chassis manufacture on there units as all the rest? I.E. Lippert, the one who seems to have a lot of frame flex issues with a bunch of manufactures. And if so what have you had LIPPERT do to your frames to insure the same does not happen to yours?
Lippert is the manufacturer of our frames. We are the ones that design our chassis to make sure they are more than capable of what we are going to put on them, and then Lippert builds them to our specs instead of off-the-shelf chassis.
Love the extended windows by the sink, great panoramic view there.
Really nice for camp side viewing and light
love the outside pattern - so tired of the wiggly curvey decals.
Same
Brinkley is doing AWESOME with their models. I’ll take this as it is. Someone is doing some great work behind the scenes! Can’t wait to see it in Tampa!
Let me know what you think of her
Thank you and look forward to meeting you!
Can’t wait for Feb. RV SHOW in Abbotsford, BC. Bought our tickets today.
I really want this 5th wheel!! As soon as I am done with school this is one of the first items on the list!!
Someone else just said the same thing!
Fantastic layout. Rear patio is incredible. Brinkley nailed this one. I'm picking up my Z3100 on Monday. But had I not already purchased it, this would have made the choice very hard for me. Great job on the video as always Josh.
Have fun!
I wish Brinkley would offer a mini split system in place of the rooftop AC units. I realize that this would take away a portion of one of the storage compartments, but it would be a good sacrifice. Not only would it remove multiple rooftop obstructions and penetration points, but also allow more room for solar panels. In addition, mini splits are much more efficient and extremely quiet.
New Horizons offers this as an option. I wish more manufacturers would as well.
This is amazing and it's everything I could ever want if money and length weren't a limiting factor. So uhh, let me get right on those lottery tickets...
I'll go ahead and get that paperwork written right up. Check is in the mail, right? :)
Brinkley absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one. I think I want this to be my next model of RV someday. The only thing i would suggest is possible adding a privacy shade or blinds to the patio door.
Thank you for the kind comments and feedback!
Something to think about regarding the main living area windows. If you do most of your camping at campgrounds, the side of this camper with all the big windows would be the side that looks out over your hookups and directly onto your neighbor’s set up. The small windows on the opposite side, even with the tv down, would give you limited views of your own campsite or a potential beautiful view. Otherwise, love this floor plan!
This is absolutely the Bomb!! Now if they will make it in a 30 to 32ft. will the same back patio with the outside kitchen/ bar. Then I'm ready to buy!! This is the floor plan
I would love that, but I don’t think they could do anything remotely close to this at 32’ let alone 30’. I think there would be a ton of compromises even at 35’….but we can dream…
Wow!!!!! This unit would sell like hotcakes but there's only one catch affordability! I absolutely love this unit, too bad I can't afford it!😢
The 3400 looks amazing. I wouldn't change a thing. Patio is awesome just what we're looking for without a toy hauler.
Appreciate that! We have some new toy haulers coming as well! Stay tuned!
I’ve just seen the first couple of minutes but I’m jumping around doing the happy dance ❤❤❤🎉
☺☺☺
More expensive and heavier than anything I will ever have but what a cool lay out and a bunch of ideas. The stuff coming from Brinkley is really interesting and fun to watch unfold
I love the walk thru bathroom!!❤️
Wow! What a beauty!! And the MSRP is amazing with all those features!! Brinkley checked all the boxes with this one!
Really really love this unit. And I just love how Brinkley is building these. Like the Dovetail drawers. As a woodworker I can tell you that this joint is just massively better that the usual RV butt joint drawer construction. That’s a joint that can survive the rolling earthquake going down the road and it’s something that people don’t talk about enough.
I really wish this had a front drop frame. It’s the one even mildly serious imperfection on an other wise perfect unit.
I’d love to see some kind of floor flush toe down system inside the rear baggage door. The idea here would be to allow you to have a full size cooler sitting there that is secure. Just load that sucker up with whatever you want to eat on your travel stops and boom… Road accessible “fridge” without opening the rear patio or putting a slide out.
I’d also love to see a Max Solar option with at least one more panel (if not two) and a 3000w Smart inverter that can run the whole rig though obviously not all at once. Also a heat pump AC would be a great option.
My other area of concern is how long it will take to close up the rear patio if the weather takes a turn. The whole thing would ideally be engineered for very rapid breakdown. Like the ability to push a button and have the rear awning close fully without having to hold it down. Quick release pins on everything. Make sure it’s designed so that one person can secure the whole thing very rapidly.
The second bathroom door seems superfluous but since it doesn’t seem like eliminating it gains you anything (there isn’t space for a cabinet on either side) it might as well stay as it makes the whole space feel more open.
I also wonder about flip flopping the two slides to put the kitchen on the other side of the rig and give you more campsite windows. Seems like it should be possible.
Nice job Brinkley!!!
Would you be OK with losing all the mor/ryde tray storage? That basically occupies what a drop frame would
I kinda feel like the trays are a better, more useful solution myself. But that's just my two cents
@@JoshtheRVNerd I feel like even if you had to lose the trays what you would gain from the drop frame is greater. I also think you could move the tray to the back of the rig which when you consider what they hold would actually be more useful.
No one does it like Josh! Man l, when you give the RV industry the go ahead they really engineer some awesome product! Really liking this brand. Great Video as always Josh!!
Just so you know, KZ has had a patio model for years and years. 382 MBQ and a smaller version
We have used a combo Splendide for 3 years - and love it!
That's great to know. TY for sharing!
Awesome! Finally, a patio without a toy hauler. Brinkley is definitely going all out on their "trial and improve" process! 🤓 👍💯
And they keep pushing forward!
That desk in a travel trailer, will buy one hands down! Coolest most useful feature for remote work!
We're calling it the "Dinesk" and it's glorious
I love the desk/dining table and the back patio! Can’t wait to see what else Brinkley comes up with!
If they put the back fridge on the left of the sink and had the fridge door open toward the small cargo door, it would be handy if you wanted to stop and have a sandwich or snack.
A few others mentioned that. I think it's solid feedback. I've sent the requests to the factory for consideration
Gorgeous! I have been so curious about this one, and it absolutely did not disappoint. I LOVE the desk-table SO much!
I'm calling it the "Dinesk!"
Great Video!! Any preview coming soon for the 3110 (Bunk) model??
It should be coming very soon as well!
Thank you! Super excited!! @@BrinkleyRV
Yes! Next Thursday the 11th!!
Awesome unit. Screen in patio somehow would be the only thing.
Great video bro. My main question are really to do with the type of plumbing system they use but otherwise this is my favorite layout ive seen for this price range ❤
I really like the patio on a non-hauler concept and hope we see more of it
I currently have a Montana with a residential refrigerator and couldn't do without it. I loved almost everything about it other than not bein able to use it while travelling.
That's where these 12v models come in. It IS a residential fridge. It just better aligns with RV power systems for easy road use
I love the lay out everything about it is something I want and on my next camper. Great presentation.
Awesome! Thank you!
High quality & great service= success, who knew!!!
I can not wait to own one of these.
A few minor suggestions if I may:
1. A fiberglass type roof would be more durable and less maintenance than a TPO roof imo. This may have changed already, but as of last year they said they were using TPO.
2. Have an option for chocolate brown cabinetry/trim and different color floors. I understand keeping it simple as they grow and scale, so this may already be on their list for the future.
3. Make the middle divider shelf between the washer/dryer removable. This way, the new GE all-in-one unit can fit. It's probably the best all-in-one unit on the market, but is about as tall as a front load washer on a pedestal. This way, you could still hang short clothes or have shelves for laundry soap, etc above.
All in all, such an amazing company and product!
1- How much weight does the patio allow?
2- Can the dinette slide be extended part way without damage?
3- Is there an option for an electric reel for the 50 amp cord. Possibly outside of a basement?
4- Looks like there is room for a 2nd ladder storage box for other long items like brroms, walking sticks, etc.
LOVE the Z3400!!
Thank YOU,
Roger & Brenda Jenkins
Patio is on top of the chassis. Basically the available CCC of the rv
2.) rack and pinion, so yes. But not to be occupied
3.) aftermarket
Hello, Josh!!
What is CCC?
Missed your reply to item 4.
Thank you!!❤😊
#NerdHerd 😎 Wow! No complaints. Put this sucker into production just as it sits. Very very nice.
I would live in it! 👍👍👍👍👍
I could see that
Exactly what my wife and I have been looking for.
☺☺☺
This is awesome! In addition to solar and inverter comments others have made, I would add a built-in one burner induction cooktop to the outdoor counter.
Interesting idea. TY
I absolutely love this floor plan. I only have one issue. It’s not a very big issue, but I would like to see a medicine cabinet. Believe it or not, that’s the only issue I have
Unfortunately with the larger mirror you do lose the medicine cabinet
I would like to see an option of a tank, hot water heater not a tankless tankless uses too much water for Boondocking
Hopefully by the time I'm ready for my next rig they'll have independent suspension available right off the factory floor....thanks Josh
Is there a specific system you've seen that interests you?
@@JoshtheRVNerd moryde
#NerdHerd. Excellent tour Josh! The rear patio is very intriguing, but it does make her Big Gal so I am on the fence between the 3100 and the 3400. As always you have helped make me a more informed buyer because of your videos and feedback. Thanks Uncle Josh.
The table/ dinette/ work setup with wine holder... 🤌 Chefs kisses man! The colors are beautiful as well. I typically prefer the entertainment center opposite the kitchen (which is rare) but honestly the table situation makes me forget all about that!
Oh I know it. That dining is so much better than you even know
I'm not gonna lie, I thought that single solar panel looked so small on the roof, then you said it was a 320W panel... I guess it was just small compared to that huge roof... Love the video Josh..
#NerdHerd !!🎉
Yeah remember it's nearly 39ft long total. There's a LOOOOOT of roof up there
You can also add a 2nd panel to it as desired (though not from the factory). Pretty simple and easy.
That black "pipe cap" on the roof is also where they run a tube down from the roof to the belly of the beast if you wanted to go whole hog with a more involved custom system
I would like the storage at the back without the kitchen area. We use our toy hauler to put our higher end bicycles in and as our sons bedroom. That is the perfect sized area for that.
A few others said something similar
I wish this was available 4 years ago when we were looking. I love the back patio.
There's a fella testing out this prototype currently and the pictures/views he's getting with it are amazing
I think the only thing I’d add. Would be a clip on hand railing on back patio stairs and two adjustable back patio legs for the outer corners to support decking from maybe 🤔 bouncing. Otherwise I really love the look and easy functional layout. Well done 👍🏻
Wowzers! That's really an awesome rig.
and then some!
I have had a Grand design 397TH for the last 5 years and have been saying I can’t believe some one hasn’t done this sooner
i know, right?
I would like if Brinkley could move the side entry door to where the tv is currently and move the tv where the door is. Tv to close to the cooktop. Other than that this RV is so awesome. Love the plumbing for stackable because yes, the combo takes 3 hours to dry clothes. The cooktop oven was big enough to bake a chicken or a cake. The bedroom was so luxurious, the colors the closet just beautiful.
Thank you Mr. Josh you provide the best information and detail video. You show the nooks and crannies.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I give this unit a 20+++++++ !!! I love everything about it but the weight and length . Saying that is only because I could not see myself buying a F-450 or above to haul it around . Now if I had a F-450 this would be the perfect trailer . Brinkley you have done a spectacular job on this 5th wheel !!!!
Thank you! Appreciate the comments!
lol 20/10 rating seems good 👍🏻
Yeah, Brinkley is pretty cool. I do like how they laid this out, minus the fact the fridge is not reachable when temporarily parked. That party feature at the rear is also pretty cool. But . . . while I am also one of those who would not need a garage . . . I would still love for that space to be turned into an office. I love the toy haulers for their patios, just not for hauling toys. I think a good sized rv, maybe about 46-48 ft long with that back area REBUILT as an extra office or bedroom would be really cool. Also . . . I am a sucker for black auto body paint. It's sleek man, sleeeeeeek. XD
Thanks for the feedback!
Several others commented on that mini fridge. TY for sharing. Consistency in feedback is what allows them to really zero in on things
The back patio without the garage is perfect. Now as a veteran the large metal plate on the back with the plus signs would be great if it was an American flag design and if the plus signs are used for attachments it could be configured into the stars of the flag.
Fajita Friday Fume Fighter! My man, that is Gold lol
When you know... _you know_
I love it! Too big for me, but someday maybe.
Nerd herd. Love the quality of the Brinkley products. They are to the full service campgrounds what the ORV is to those that mainly boondock. Quality, innovation, and consistently looking for ways to improve. But also means they keep their current customers always wanting the newer model. 😆
I would strongly suggest a laundry chute so dirty laundry passes from inside the rv into one of the storage bins
We always turn at least part of the under bed area into a sleep spot for our dog with a lattice door for ventilation. They love their spot!
Man that's classic camping right there! I remember when builders did those. It's a great idea
We put a laundry chute in our house too. Out of site until I'm ready to do laundry@@JoshtheRVNerd
I think it would be cool to see something similar to this in a travel trailer platform.
Agreed
Brinkley did an excellent job. Like the table in its multi use.
Agree with the toilet platform and the heater vent.
Move the wine guard, it’s in a poor position if wanting to install another solar panel in front of the current one. Has anyone thought of having two garage doors? Like the first one opening up is the roof and then the floor? Because I would utilize it better with a full enclosed room with screens vs just a screen pull down.
Mods that I do is a toilet bidet, going to lithium this summer, I think it would be awesome to install a small fresh water tank (~10gals) for traveling. I would like to put in a sink dishwasher but our sink to small for that.
Brinkley has mastered the quality, design and some innovative. They could use some material used in boating for lighter weight materials. For example, my trim for my slide out fell out, it was the key piece. Even being a foot wide and eight inches tall, it was a heavy piece of particle board.
I give it to Brinkley for having brought together another well-made RV. My fiancé and I have been seriously looking at models and ruled out everybody except Brinkley. When it comes time to retire, they’re the only ones I will consider. But there are a few things that I really like to see changed.
I’m not a big fan Of the brown theater seating. I grew up with so much brown in the 80s and 90s. It just dates it to me. I
like the look of the frameless windows, but being in the senior circuit, for some of us to turn knobs, is not the easiest with people who have arthritis. And even those windows only crack about 9 inches which to me is not a lot of airflow. I would love to see them go with something like a framed window on the inside and slide windows for better airflow.
Also, when we were looking at the 3100 there was a note on the washer dryer prep area that said you needed to vent the doors when using them. Wouldn’t it be easier to have doors with slats that vent on their own. And as far as the cubbies next to it, I’d rather see a narrow storage area where I could put my laundry products.
And last is the bed area. The shelf above my head doesn’t seem to useful other than things falling on my head when I’m stretching to get something off of it. And I like there is an option for a queen bed and night stands but it seems crazy to nickel and dime people to pay for an option before it leaves the factory 😟
Brinkley, keep up the good work and thank you for listening to all of our opinions and suggestions on things. I think the people have spoken and are truly wanting a great product with a company that stands by their work.
Glad I haven't bought my RV yet. I was telling my wife the other day How much I would like a patio to watch the races from but also NO giving up floor space to the garage. I just wish it was about 37 feet long . I really wanted to stay in the 35 ft to 37 ft range. Brinkley I think you have a winner here. i hope to see one at Quartzsite in a couple weeks.
lol perfect!
Love it! The only thing is I’ll bet that many people will want to have the deck down full time but with this setup you can’t secure the kitchenette or TV. So you’d have to close up the deck every night to secure that. Love the bathroom layout and the dining/desk. Do Brinkley fridges come with ice makers?
Again, spectacular design and quality.
thank you for the feedback. The Model Z refers do not have built-in ice makers.
The pantry shelves need a higher lip to keep things from falling off in transit. This is coming from a mom of 6 who camps and has packed a lot of campers.
One of Brinkley's founders actively campers and tests the first Model Z prototype before they get too far along. They took this specific RV across several states and did not have pantry issues thankfully
I do trust your experience on the topic for sure. Simply sharing what i've been informed as extra info!
Love this new RV! We are looking to go full-time this year and have pretty much decided because of the customer service we are seeing that Brinkley will be our next 5th wheel! Just want to see the 3950 and decide whether that or the 3400 will work best for us!
Josh will be releasing the 3950 video next week!
Good choice!
@@BrinkleyRVbeen waiting to see the 3950. Going to the rv show in Fort Myers.
I love everything about it. Only thing I would change is placement of the steps off of the porch.
Where would you prefer them?
I really enjoy your videos. One thing I’ve noticed on the way you have your ladder set up. It is not safe check OSHA requirements so no one gets hurt.
