We were camping in Vermont for the 4th of July this year and a gentleman was next to us that was in the process of driving his Airstream to the Brinkly dealer to trade it in for one! He had a Pottery Barn special edition and had so many problems with it. He showed us the wiring as he had solar upgraded by the dealer and it looked like a 10 year old did the install. The wiring was so bad and he finally decided that he needed to try something new that hopefully would allow him to camp more and troubleshoot problems less. Over $200,000 and 9 trips into the dealer for repairs. He had been an Airstream owner for over 25 years and he jumped ship due to quality.... Very sad, just hope Brinkly lives up to the hype! Love you sir and yes, we use your potty treatments!!
Really Beautiful Bumper pull Trailer...I would say a dream to store in Florida and come on down for a new part of state every winter....would be interesting to compare that cost to a condo or manufactured home with all fees. This is house quality.
Matt.. Also touching on what you said about the price. If i were to just go glamping once or twice a year, then of course I'd go for a cheaper travel trailer. For full timing... I'd go with this. It looks well made. I love the furniture as well. Hell, I may even pick one up someday soon. Cheaper than buying a house. Probably nicer than a house i could afford. 😂
You missed the silverware drawer in the dinette. You also missed the vault storage under the bed. Please know all of the “little “ extras that Brinkley puts into their products.
Hi Matt and Wil! My dislikes are I agree with you both on dislikes and my likes are living space and the ottoman/table storage and the bathroom and the bedroom are all my likes. I love the dinette and the interior colors. Thank you Matt and Wil!
I actually REALLY like this one. Alot. Absolutely right. Its set up like a 5th wheel. A really nice 5th wheel. I do agree that they could've moved the sink over, (not a deal breaker) I could live in this full time.
Will, yes you're right about the island space gained if you move the sink to one side or the other, BUT when you do that, you lose your potential for drawers on one side and the trash can pull out cabinet on the opposite side. I think you can agree, losing those draws would be a big loss. I love a Brinkley. Will I ever NEED a Brinkley? Probably not. I think asking if it's 'worth it?' is not the right question. If it's made with the best components and materials, YES it HAS to be priced accordingly. I think the question is 'DO YOU NEED TO SPEND THAT TYPE OF MONEY, as compared to your needs?" I think they are awesome and beautiful and MADE FOR YOUR FREQUENT LENGTHY TRIPS & DAILY LIFE. If you're a seasonal camper, your money might be better spent on a model that best fits that specific need. Brinkley has its place in the market. People nay-saying Brinkley are just jealous, but there's no need to knock them. There are always going to be people out there who need a reasonably priced, entry level/mid level travel trailer for seasonal/short trip camping and most importantly, their budget.
Great video, as usual. Question: Is this unit warranted for full-time living? If I spend $100K for a travel trailer, you can bet that I am going to live in it on a full-time basis. Comment: Leave the sink design as it is, but add a fold up/down countertop extension on the island's end closest to the sofa. Good job, y'all. Lou from Georgia.
Three things I like would be the over all quality. The fit and finish are phenomenal. The features that come with it are incredible. Quality furniture and bed the available combo washer. The bathroom is amazing. The look of it, from the exterior to the interior colors are first rate. Three things I dislike. The size and weight, I'd have to buy a bigger truck to tow it. I have to agree that the island sink needs to be offset for more useful counter space. The cost of it. I live in the Canadian Prairies and we get about 5 1/2, maybe 6 months of camping, so even if my Lotto Max retirement plan comes sooner, I don't think that it is worth the cost. I also do most of my camping in northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan and northwest Ontario and there's a lack of 50 amp camp sites available where I like to camp and I don't think that taking on those roads is a wise choice even if I had millions in the bank, not to mention that the majority of campsites would be a tight fit to get into. I guess that this trailer is not for me, but it is definitely an awesome rv.
How does your Liquify treatment work with toilet paper? Does it break it down? My Rv septic won’t drain ( help is on the way ). I’ll buy your product if it does a good job breaking down tp.
Seriously, a plastic sink in the bathroom?? At this price point and the “excellent quality” of the unit, having a plastic sink is almost insulting to the buyer and a lack of quality from the manufacturer
@ I’m not sure what diesel has to do with anything. You could go with a gas with a travel trailer or fifth wheel. Fifth wheels do not require a diesel any more than a travel trailer does. The reason fifth wheels are better is not really open for debate. They handle drastically better, are shorter overall, utilize more of the overall trailer length for living space, instead of wasting 4-5 feet on the dead space of an A-frame, and only have a height penalty of around 18 inches to two feet, a totally irrelevant amount for any place which can otherwise accommodate a 35-ft trailer. As for not having anything in the bed, that’s the only real argument for a travel trailer, but what are you putting in your bed that wouldn’t either fit around the fifth wheel hitch, or in the giant underbelly of a fifth wheel. My position stands, there is no real reason for a 35-ft travel trailer, and I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.
@ diesel because any gas pulling this weight or 5th wheel would get 8mpg and fill up every 200 miles while a diesel will get 12 mpg and prob get 300-400 miles per a tank because they have larger tanks. And 5th wheels have high restricted bridges and require more commercial routes while travel trailers can sneak under 12 ft bridges and go in more scenic routes. And what 5th wheel you buying if your dropping that kind of money you want trade in value so your buying 39-45ft 5th wheels and your eliminating a entire organization that uses airstreams where those are very large and heavy and built to last.
@@jshapiro34 yeah, you’re all over the place here so I don’t follow. Not sure how gas vs diesel even came up, this discussion has nothing to do with that whatsoever. You haven’t provided one advantage to a 35-ft travel trailer over a 35-ft fifth wheel.
@ not as many steps and less weight for same floor plans And a high end travel trailer is around the 65-70k mark at max after dealer rebates while a 80k after rebates barley gets you into a decent 5th wheel and typically on those prices your all electric fully loaded on travel trailer vs a 5th wheel I bet your still manual drop legs. See your complaining about 35ft but your not understanding 35 ft at maybe 11k max weight in the trailer while 11k max 5th wheel is a half ton cougar 5th wheel missing half the stuff you really want at 80k or your in a grand design or Montana at 15k weight at 90k Learn to drive and if your 3/4 a bumper pull is just fine back there and tracks just fine at 65-70mph with Goodyear tires on it
A lot of the RV today look the same they are black and white with gray and white interior. they are all cheap garbage, so it does not the much to be the best. so it the best garbage can in a lot full of garbage can.
Saying it again, take 5 minutes to check out the unit before turning the camera on. Show us some class and that you care enough to make a cohesive, well thought out, review.
Matt- you look GREAT! I am so happy you decided to get healthy! Who else will show us these fabulous campers?! Keep up the great job!

Brinkley up the auntie. I love it. The others are going to have to get with the program. I for one would pay for the piece of mind.
Three things I like Will, Matt and thier wives❤❤❤❤❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I watch Matt’s reviews and Josh’s….best in the industry!
Those blinds are awesome! Much better than the mcd shades aesthetically and functionality. They’re definitely an upgrade!
You both look so good❤❤❤❤so glad your getting healthier as you guys are awesome!!

Brinkley is setting new standards! Love them!!! Only question is, will it last as long as a Airstream?
If it truly is quality, then its worth the price.
The Christmas season!!!
Awwwe i lovvvve the blinds!!!
Ohio show dates begin the 10th. I can’t wait to seeee y’all there!!! ✨

Does that couch make a bed tho?

@@robertschneider2122 yes it will Liquify your waste!!!
Matt I’m so excited can’t wait to meet you buddy Ohio 1/8/25
Needs a King bed
Better than Airstream? 🤔
Too bad Liquefied isn't giving this one away.
That TV is way too small for a large rig like this. And if it doesn’t have a swivel arm and comes out then the people on the couch can’t see it.
$96K and no Washer and Dryer ....😮
Rather buy an Oliver or Bigfoot for that kind of cash.
Seriously, a plastic sink in the bathroom?? At this price point and the “excellent quality” of the unit, having a plastic sink is almost insulting to the buyer and a lack of quality from the manufacturer
Just get a fifth wheel. 35-ft travel trailers simply don't need to exist. All travel trailers should be 30 feet or less.
Some of us don’t want a diesel with a 5th wheel or anything in the bed. Some of us can actually drive and swing wide and back up and not hit things😂

But it's not a toy hauler
Yes. It's worth more. It's quality n that costs money worth every penny❤❤❤❤❤
Which models of Brinkley do you own?
Over priced for small upgrades.
Lol i do t watch Josh anymore eithier...no.thx not Matt n will who are more gentlemen like❤
They just have awful colors inside.
A lot of the RV today look the same they are black and white with gray and white interior. they are all cheap garbage, so it does not the much to be the best. so it the best garbage can in a lot full of garbage can.
