Honest Review of Our Brinkley RV (& Factory Tour!)

After living full time in our Brinkley RV for 10 months, we're giving you our honest review of what we like, don't like and finally answering the question... Do we regret buying our Brinkley RV Model Z3100?

We're also taking you along for our favorite parts of the Brinkley RV Factory Tour in Goshen, Indiana and showing you some of the interesting things that Brinkley does different.

*Who are we?*
We’re Victoria & Craig, a full-time travel couple currently living the RV lifestyle! In 2021, we realized life was too short to wait to chase our dreams, so we purchased a used fifth wheel camper and completely renovated it. After selling our house in Florida, we set off on our journey as full-time RVers. Full time RV living has taken us across the United States, Baja Mexico, and Canada, where we’ve fallen in love with boondocking in stunning locations and living an epic adventure travel lifestyle. In 2023, we upgraded to a brand new Brinkley RV Model Z 3100.

I am laughing so hard that Craig can change breaks and do all of that other maintenance but didn't fix the cabinet door. You both are so funny and a pleasure to watch! Thanks for sharing your adventures! 😊

I’ve been thinking of buying an RV for 10 years, but hated the interiors. Brinkley is mind blowing, finally a company gets it.

[pvdogs]

As a Business/IT Analyst, I found their problem solving/solutions/testing techniqes and the fact that they are sharing this information all very interesting.

I am also very impressed that they quality check EVERY UNIT. That definitely does not happen with other brands. They'll check every so often, but not every single unit. I also love that the owners of this company actually camp and use RVs so they know what common issues are and better functioning for layout and user friendliness.

[lindseye]

I am very impressed with how they keep their stations clean and vacuum up sawdust and pieces of wood and plastic and screws etc. as they go. Nobody else does that it seems. Other brands we have had constantly drip/shower sawdust and pieces of junk out of the roof, vents, and cupboards every time we drive down the road and we have to vacuum and wipe everything down each time. It is a pain! So glad to see these guys taking care of each stage and making it clean and easier on the customer.

The 3610 is also my favorite model too! ✋ ❤

You all are a breath of fresh air. Love your videos. Thanks for the factory tour! We're retired and just get up and go, ...wish we could have done it when we were your age! Go get those memories. Thanks!

[randallgriffith]

That was really good, folks. One thing I noticed over other factory tours is how clean everything looked. We've done several factory tours and we were constantly stepping over stuff on the floor (sawdust, screws, wiring pieces, etc.). The inside of the units being built was the same way. Brinkley seems to be a step above on so many levels. Brinkley (Z3610 and G3500) are on the short list for our next rig. Thanks for an honest review; makes the decision that much easier!

As an RV Salesman, I love showing the Brinkley's! Watching peoples eyes pop out of their heads is always fun! When people who have had multiple RV's walk into a Brinkley and start testing the fit and finish and they can't believe how well it's built, It makes this job so much fun! Looking forward to following your adventures. Talking price point, For the build and the overall quality of the Brinkley's, they're price point is amazing. There are other brands that are ALL AROUND nowhere near as well built that are 10, 20, 30k more for the same floor plans.

I have been waiting for this update. So glad it came out great. We have decided to order the Z3400 for our Full time home this year. With a matching new GMC Denali 3500. You can only spoil yourself once.

[TNWisky]

Love what you Guy's have been doing and I started while You were in Mexico and I always keep up with You. Please keep on doing what You Do. The Personalities go so well. God Bless You Both

[grayfox]

I'm glad they repaired it to your satisfaction! Good work on the tour! Hope the doggies are doing OK>Y'all have fun!!

[camrodger]

The OSB floors concern me. Airstream moved to composite flooring a few years ago.

[Road_Warriors]

Love watching you-all. We aren't full-timers but we have a z3100 no. 538 off the line and your right in that they corrected a lot of little things as they built more units. Their customer service has been just great. Response time is really fast. We love everything about Brinkley. Thanks for sharing your factory experience with us.

[glaflamme]

Another great video! Happy anniversary! Amy and I are buying a 3100 and finding your channel has been informative and fun. If you're coming through Kingman Arizona, we have a nice piece of land in the mountains with a 50 amp service, water and a place to dump. Feel free to contact us if you'd like to park awhile and enjoy the cool pine forest👍

[liset]

Thanks for this update, we've ordered a Z2900 and are looking forward to our first fifth wheel after numerous travel trailers. So happy to hear all the positive comments. Safe travels.

[robinghunt]

Great update on the Brinkley. I’m going to the Tampa show this year and can’t wait to see all the offerings. Thanks for this video and please know, there are more nice people out there than mean people. Thank goodness!

[RVUntethered]

I like the eternabond sealing! That’s a nice touch!

The shower/caulk issue has been a problem on our last 2 rigs!! What an easy fix! 😢 We look now..unfortunately.

[tammydoughertyreyes]

Great update and tour! I, too, have followed Brinkley for quite a while but had to wait on a bumper pull as we can't leave behind the fishing kayak and gear (and do not have a dually). We put an order in on the Z Air 285....sight unseen! That's just how much we've loved and appreciated the finishes we've seen on all of their other models. Can't wait to follow you up to Alaska! I've cruised and flown up but not driven! Safe journeys to you both!

I've only been RVing since last April & got new Jayco.. What I can say is no one beats the 2+3 year warranty..
