I do agree with Matt about the quality of the exterior and interior. The thing's you can't see is good quality as well as the things you can see....it's nice guys and a great video to....
I love the mindful grey! My dislikes are the same as yours Wil! The power button for the leveling is in wrong spot. The shades should be slow ride shades, the medicine cabinet in bathroom. Love the colors of the interior and the kitchen and coffee bar and the dinette and televator. I live the bathroom and the bed. Thank you Matt and Wil. It’s a nice fifth wheel!
I am not big on grey in houses..or RV's..but I loved some grey clothes through my life with different accents,,,and these cabinets and the tan and gold and off white are screaming quality and color blends that rock...just lovely...all of it..just gorgeous...no grating colors in the new look and Yes NOT cheap looking... perfect hues in the colors and cabinet quality...a tiny shade matters..boy it matters...just lovely. I love that at least there is a medicine cabinet instead of just a mirror...and they are trying to be cool with the look and shape and save on weight i think,,but if it were on the side and they moved to filling that space around sink with mirror...or put in smaller mirrors on sides that pull out a little it full mirror is too heavy..a dream for getting your hair and makeup perfect..such a nice bath and larger counter sink area there deserves that..and I love your table options and that desk or eat in front of tv piece that is a bench or table and the table chaies that can be for 2 or 4 and the sturdy table too..wow this is quality and subtle elegance.
+ TV is excellent. Also, a nice spot for a game system, though I'd maybe make the shelf adjustable somehow + Nice features like how the doors open to the side on all of the cabinets and there's space to put things under the sinks. Also things like an outlet on the coffee shelf and so on. + I personally like how you are looking at other manufacturers and trying to avoid their obvious mistakes like floor vents and so on. - Not a fan of the island, but in a unit this size, I guess you need to put the sink somewhere. Maybe an option to have the sink where the pantry is and remove the island? - Re: Toilet - just use a router and round off that long sharp edge - Needs a pass-through/hatch on one side to drop dirty laundry down.
Kitchen is great layout & nice to see counter space around both sides. Nice to see no storage over the fridge. Great to have a two and one function for seating into a table. Great bathroom sink storage underneath finally. Lots of room to move around the bed side is a must in all RV’S.
People will pay for quality. They will pay for the peace of mind for a Rv that is well made and they will not have to have it in the shop or at the dealership all the time. I think Brinkley will be that RV manufacturer that will fit that description. As long as they don’t get caught up in quantity over quality.
I wish they would have the button for the televator by where your sitting in all rigs and that they need to have a button in every rig that you hit the button once, not have to hold it all of the time.
Having the built in garbage and recycling bins is huge for anyone who spends months in their rig. Very nice rig and I'm thinking this is going to be the replacement for my Arctic Fox 275L.
Beautiful unit, but that General RV is actually in Green, OH. They are a sorry excuse for a General RV. They dropped the ball from the very beginning of our purchase and left a lot of repairs half-assed. They had the unit for over 2 months, and we still had to take it elsewhere for resolution.
I love this RV so much! The main thing I don't like is the no washer and dryer. Literally has everything except that. I wonder why they didn't put one in the kitchen closet, bottom half of the closet in the room or something. Space is perfect especially for just a couple. Having that couch that turns into a bed is also cool because people can stay over comfortably. Also wish there was a long mirror in the back of either the kitchen door or room door but you can customize the glass.
Matt even mentioning General RV in Utah is pathetic when they were convicted of fraud ripping off customers he is such a hypocrite going back to work for General after all the fraud garbage that went on
I’m happy that Brinkley is showing the RV industry what quality construction looks like. However, minus the automotive graphics on the exterior, it looks like any other mid profile fifth wheel.
Did they correct the plumbing issue where they were using clamps on flex hose to pex piping which is a no no. Also since there are water lines going under the slide which would be a challenging fix
would it be possible to clarify if the AC units in the reviewing RVs are the whisper quiet or the common RV AC units. Quiet AC units are nice to have. less noise one could actually have a conversation and listen to TV.
Was you in a hurry today Matt? Seems you were rushed. You left the light on in the closet. Loved the fifth wheel though but we are looking for a class C motor home. Thanks for your videos.
Why would Brinkley put the auto level system panel so far back? Am I going to be running back and forth to see if I need to go up or down a little bit more?
This is really nice, I love the colors and style (except the color of the recliners) I really like that mirrored medicine chest. If you guys shaved once in a while you'd appreciate how great it is. You can give me hell for that comment when I see you at Hershey.
I really want to love Brinkley👍but my “best” $100,000-$200,000 premium RV would NEVER use cheap spongy OSB in their body construction and on their roof😢😢😢
Love that storage in the back, love the belly storage for a small unit they got some good space. Worst place ever for the autolevel. H rated tires are nice but that is crazy overkill for such a light unit. Love the flush floor kitchen slide. That lighted bar in closets is cool. Tons of cons for the wife and I High msrp yet filled all the cheapest furrion chinese trash there is just like much lower priced units. Water heater that runs on propane only and waste water and propane like crazy. AC's that freeze up, Low profile on the front unit that freeze and are noisy, worthless windows that let in little to no air. Blinds are horrible, "Screens" that let in bugs through all the holes, televator is the worst waste of space ever. What is with those god awful furniture colors? Looks like a 1970's mobile home. Weird toilet. Solid wood bench, that has to be comfy to sit on. 102K yet the cheapest solid hitch made, even a rota-flex would be a serious upgrade. At 102 you shouldn't have to buy a hitch before you even take it from the lot. I wouldn't buy it if it was cheaper then the others
@@dank8017 LOL NOT AT ALL You cant even put quality and furrion in the same sentence without making it a joke. Yes I looked at the brinkleys but they had too many things that were a hard NO for the wife and I. I listed a few of them. Also my avenue is going on 3 years old has had little to no issues and its got over 125 trips out and over 10k miles. I do keep looking at every brand and with the cheap junk they are filling that camper with it would have to be cheaper then the other choices before we would even consider it. But with a televator, those horrible colors inside and windows that dont let in much air it would have to be A LOT CHEAPER before we would give it even a second look, especially considering how much furrion trash is in it.
I certainly won’t take away that it’s not nice like other types of rv’s no matter what they are but at the end of the day whether it’s Brinkley, gulfstream or any other that’s brand new or not they’re either gonna have a serious amount of problems or minor, none the less it’ll give you a headache from hell. And unfortunately they can’t make them on an assembly line like cars. I bought my motorhome brand new two years ago, ordered it, had it inspected and was wowed with it. This is my forth rv and the wow factor lasted about the first year. 😁. It’ll be my last. Good motels and good restaurants here I come.
Beautiful rig. Don’t know if I missed it, but are those windows dual pane? I love the light but picture the heat radiating in….I would probably end up trying to figure out how to put up insulating curtains.
One advantage of integrated blinds is that they don't flop around. Most blinds in trailers are cheap anyways so as long as it works and is out of the way, it's fine.
NOT SOLD on the absurd toilet placement. Who puts a toilet in the doorway? You literally have to step around the toilet to enter the bathroom! They are supposed to be unseen, in a corner, far away from the door.😢
I’ll continue to rant about lack of competition in the rv space with lippert being the best example. Matt loves lippert but they are the lowest common denominator. A Furrion hot water heater. Truma is the best in the business but Furrion was chosen instead. This is an LCI thing and shows Brinkley is more concerned with profit instead of using the best products. Vendors like Brinkley who want to do the best should not stick with suppliers because of profit and price point.
I think the Brinkley’s are so Beautiful, but I wished that they would make a wide body dropped frame for better storage. They also need to make more Coaches to choose from. I’m keeping my eyes on Brinkley, because I feel that they are the ones to over take the market.
Surprised you didn't mention the quality of the drawer construction - dove tail joints and smooth finished edges on the wood. Compare that to what you get in an Alliance which used to be be my #1 choice. Not sure I like the lack of fresh air flow from the windows though.
"I love these"......Matt didnt really get into the tires, but they are "Real" tires......either 14 or 16 ply like they use on trucks......much less chance of blow out.....
What the heck were they thinking with the window shades?! Dealbreaker for me. Otherwise it is absolutely beautiful! And my dog is named is Brinkley so she would love it 😀
Announcing that you’re the “first” comment is kind of like standing in front of the door at the liquor store and waiting for them to open. Seems a bit desperate and you might have a problem.😁
As someone who doesn’t watch TV very often when RVing, I personally love the fact that you can hide the tv when not in use. I wish all 5th wheels had televators. I understand that it’s one more thing that can and probably will break at some point, but it’s worth it to me. To each their own. Cheers!
When you do these videos do a little preparation. Have everything unlocked in advance and pull it out in the open not squeezed between two units like a sardine.

Thank god Matt found the exact name of that color of gray on those cabinets, that could have been a disaster!🤦♂️😂
I know right.
Very mindful of him, LOL
I found that very valuable since it told me that it is Sherwin Williams color SW 7016. That means locally available touch up paint!
I love the look of all the Brinkley models. Well worth the price difference. They are beautiful and very residential looking.

I build and fix them in final forest river. Brinkley is a step above!

We have our tickets. We'll see you at the Hershey RV show!!! My wife and I are looking forward to some selfies, hahaha
19:15 how did you not start laughing? True pros
And Matt and Crew, we love you and your reviews. Just sometimes the truth is needed. That’s all….
I prefer the old way you began the review videos. Thanks!
Beautiful unit!!
Matt even mentioning General RV in Utah is pathetic when they were convicted of fraud ripping off customers he is such a hypocrite going back to work for General after all the fraud garbage that went on
Haha Matt is a glorified used car salesman! 🤠
@phatgringo2.0 I agree, but RV salesmen actually have a worse reputation than used car salesmen…and for good reason.
❤️ Love the kitchen ❤️
I’m happy that Brinkley is showing the RV industry what quality construction looks like. However, minus the automotive graphics on the exterior, it looks like any other mid profile fifth wheel.
Very nice unit!❤

Did Matt boom one while putting ottoman back?
LOL! 19:43 (nice rip buddy!)

This video I'm lovin' it 😂

The color of the cabinets is Mindful Gray by Sherwin Williams.
This is really nice, I love the colors and style (except the color of the recliners) I really like that mirrored medicine chest. If you guys shaved once in a while you'd appreciate how great it is. You can give me hell for that comment when I see you at Hershey.
I wish they would make these in the drop frame. So that you get more space in the basement area.
Dropped frame and a wide body would make this Coach perfect
Hey Matt - why did you skip climbing the ladder for a roof-top tour?
I was gonna say that!
I really want to love Brinkley👍but my “best” $100,000-$200,000 premium RV would NEVER use cheap spongy OSB in their body construction and on their roof😢😢😢
Depends on the osb. Some types are superior to using plywood.
@dank8017 True, sometimes it is stronger👍 My only concern is the swelling when exposed to water which 90% of RVs eventually are in one way or another.
Love that storage in the back, love the belly storage for a small unit they got some good space. Worst place ever for the autolevel. H rated tires are nice but that is crazy overkill for such a light unit. Love the flush floor kitchen slide. That lighted bar in closets is cool.
Tons of cons for the wife and I

It sounds like you wish you waited to buy this one and you regret buying your Avenue 32rls. Quality is what selling these units

the included blinds are reflective on the outside to cut the heat
Why no cup holders in the stadium seats????
NOT SOLD on the absurd toilet placement. Who puts a toilet in the doorway? You literally have to step around the toilet to enter the bathroom! They are supposed to be unseen, in a corner, far away from the door.😢
Beautiful! I would pay more for better quality

*I meant more floor plans in their lineup, not more coaches lol
You need to start doing 'road mode' like Josh the RV nerd. Where's your wife, she was cool
Welp didn't pass pooping position/shower too small*** its a wrap for me
Do they make a handicap type rv?😊
Surprised you didn't mention the quality of the drawer construction - dove tail joints and smooth finished edges on the wood. Compare that to what you get in an Alliance which used to be be my #1 choice. Not sure I like the lack of fresh air flow from the windows though.
the windows actually open wider in this unit than competitors. These open to 6" vs 3".
Thank you
Actually if you look up the color ecru it's pretty much the colour of the cupboard doors.
Matt is that pedestal that the toilet is sitting on is it plastic?
Well guys I gone and done it, I fell down the stairs and broke my sacrum! Uggggg I might not make the Hershey show 😢
Hope your ok! 🙏
@@cherjohnson6808 Thank you so much! 🥰
Oh No, I hope you heal quickly, God Bless🙏🏼❤️🕊️
The only 😢it's missing is the dish washer.
"I love these"......Matt didnt really get into the tires, but they are "Real" tires......either 14 or 16 ply like they use on trucks......much less chance of blow out.....
Yeah based on your dislikes I don't think Brinkley believe you're their favorite😂
What the heck were they thinking with the window shades?! Dealbreaker for me. Otherwise it is absolutely beautiful! And my dog is named is Brinkley so she would love it 😀
The back cushion at the dinning table is meant to be removed (Velcro) off the wall and put on the bench to sit on
Didn’t see a washer/dryer area.
not an option in this floor plan
General RV Matt, is way more expensive than most and lousy on trade in as well.
If I come I will be in a wheelchair
The bright side is you'll get the best parking spot.
“That’s what she said!” 😁
@@scottmichaels12 Ba dum bum!
Yes!? I knew there was an up side ❤️
IDK if that color is really as green as it looks on my monitor, but on my monitor it looks very institutional. Like a prison infirmary.
Hinges on outside of pantry - dislike. Steps to second floor look like they’re a tripping hazard coming inside the trailer - bigger dislike.
I commented first , what do i win??? :)
Announcing that you’re the “first” comment is kind of like standing in front of the door at the liquor store and waiting for them to open. Seems a bit desperate and you might have a problem.😁
lol - was making a fun joke, but if it makes you feel better to chime in, go for it - btw a sense of humor is free :P
@@scottmichaels12
It’s nice, but I’ll stick with Alliance.
Still crazy expensive at $100,000+
Tiny taillights. No gen or solar. Anti lock brakes, stackable w/d nope, hidden auto level control?
I believe 370 watts of solar is standard.
they are gen prep

I don't like the windows, chairs and the recliners. Shower to small. I really hate the TV elevator.
Can I ask you sir why you hate the TV elevator?

At last, an RV/Trailer that isn't covered in multiple ugly textured shades of brown!
Brinkley is bringing American trailers out of the 20th century! 😂
