Ultimate Brinkley RV Shakedown: A Colorado RV Summer Road Trip

Показать описание
Come along for 3 months of boondocking in luxury through Colorado for the ultimate RV shakedown trip! After buying our new Brinkley RV Model Z3100, we immediately took it on an epic summer RV road trip through the mountains of Colorado.

What is an RV shakedown trip? It's usually the first trip in an RV after you buy it (or after it's been in long-term storage), where you get to test everything and get to learn your new RV. Typically, you'll find a few things that need to be fixed and might make a few mistakes (we sure did!).

This video is a compilation of all of our videos from our series last summer. We hope you enjoy watching us break in our new RV!

*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 love how when you face adversity you don’t argue or get attitudes with each other. 💕

Respect! I'm South African... we don't have small apartments to tow over mountains with trucks! Really fun watching your trips!

We are full timers in our Brinkley Z3100 and love it. Only minimal issues and Brinkley customer care handed it no questions asked.

We keep about a 4 gallon clean bucket in the shower to collect the water until it gets hot. Then we use the water in the bucket for washing dishes.

Enjoying your videos. 😊 We've lived in colorado for 25 yrs & we're SO thankful when it rains, because it really doesn't rain that much... plus it's so dry here & wild fires are a great risk for us. I grew up in N.
Central Florida & talk about rain! 😮

C Clamps are definitely easier on the hands but a monster pair of pliers works too. I'd highly recommend pulling an oil sample & oil analysis if you are running to 15k on your oil change interval. Also turn your wheels to the left to get a little closer to the oil filter. Love seeing people do their own maintenance!

For your roof tear, don’t be sad, there is a tape made for that, and not only for that, it’s recommended to seal roofs all around . It comes in 4 and 6 inch wide . Eternal bond . YouTube it to see how to apply it .

To save water take a “military shower”. Soak yourself with water, turn the water off, lather up and wash everything, then turn the water back on and rinse off.

Hi Deborah! I'm binge watching you. I have been wanting to so van life for a number of years. Came home to care for my 90+ year old mom. She passes away 8 days before her 93rd birthday! So I am closer to getting in that van. Watching you for inspiration. Thanks so much!

Craig, next time you work on your truck with the wheel off, please put the wheel under the truck. So if the jack fails the wheel will stop the truck from crushing you.❤

Fun video. Something to try when changing your oil, I remove the air box and tube to the turbo. Gives you easier access to the oil filter from the top. Put a zip lock bag around the filter and remove it without spilling any oil. Personally I don't go 10k miles between oil changes, normally 7500-8k without oil sampling. Good luck with your equipment, safe travels and enjoy.
