Built Differently in a BUNCH of Ways!! Brinkley Model G Factory Construction Tour

[@RVTalkTV]

Brinkley is exactly what the RV industry needed!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Glad you like them!

[@CaptainFantastic79]

You don’t think it’s way too soon to say that? Genuinely curious if the new wears off and it was all great marketing and public relations.

[@johnnyquest8710]

Phenomenal build quality! I love that they’re thinking about years beyond when you buy it!

[@CaptainFantastic79]

@@johnnyquest8710 but it will take years to know if it worked.

[@RVTalkTV]

@@johnnyquest8710 Exactly! Not many manufacturers do that, plus they have already been in business for over a year now. They have done nothing but improve the quality and take care of their customers extremely well.

Brinkley continues to impress me more with each look.

I picked up stuff going thru this I wasn't even aware of previously!

[@KMT15]

I’m only a few minutes in and I’m guessing Grand Design and the others hate the fact that this video is out there ha. This sells me even more on the 3950

Hey look Brinkley got an hour and 1/2 ad. Great Job Uncle Josh and thanks Brinkley. Now i just need that rich uncle to deliver the money.

[@Luvrdoxie]

We bought a Brinkley because of your very first video for Brinkley Josh!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Wow congrats! TY for the vote of confidence! :) Mind dropping me a quick "thank you" review at g.page/r/CdPcitNVx2nDEAg/review for the helping hand? Costs you nothing and I do appreciate it!

[@BrinkleyRV]

Thank you for putting your trust in us and thank you to Josh!

[@charleyhough4355]

Brinkley's PDI is insane. This is a company that really cares about their employees and their products. Thanks again for making this video.

[@hotscarywjm]

This video is part of the reason I will eventually own a Brinkley. The main reason is the company culture. The fact that the final 25% of the assembly is for QC and error management is amazing. My guess is none of the other RV manufacturers do that level of QC. Well done Josh...well done! wjm

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Wow.. ty

[@texillini1]

1) One word…… QUALITY! 2) Thank you Brinkley for allowing Josh to make this video. By doing so you are boldly and proudly showing your quality for prospective buyers. 3) Thank you Josh for your time and efforts in producing this project. It’s easy to see that it took a lot of work. 4) To answer your earlier question. YES! I would love to see full in depth videos from every manufacturer on how they build their RV’s. I found this to be very interesting and informative. These videos puts the manufacturers in the spotlight. Those who are confident in theirs builds should not have any trouble with you filming the tour. Those who hesitate or say no…. Well, that there alone should speak loudly of theirs quality, or should I say, lack of and therefore perhaps the consumer should stay clear of purchasing. 5) Josh, you always say that you want people to make their second purchase the first time around. Seems to me, you will save money in the long run following your advice. After watching this video showing their quality; for those who really want to buy and be in this lifestyle, I’d say….. if you buy a Brinkley, it’s one and done. Buy once, you buy for a lifetime. Worth the money spent. 6) Again, Thank you Josh and thank you Brinkley. You are definitely on my potential buy list.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY for yet another visit! I appreciate you!

[@AFMurse]

Brinkley is resetting the RV industry and they WILL be my next RV. I overbuild everything in my life and DIY a lot because industry standard often isn't good enough for me. The water shut off valves alone are amazing. My last trip on my voltage, the 2nd bathroom faucet went bad and dumped water all night. I woke up to a huge puddle of water flowing into the kitchen because it overfilled my gray tank and was dumping over onto the floor.... Brinkley speaks to me.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Oh man.. that’s an awful way to wake up

[@danrodgers6762]

Great to see Brinkley opened the factory for such a detailed tour great job Josh

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks Brinkley and josh for the tour - it’s nice to see that there are still company’s out there dedicated to quality

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Our pleasure!

[@michaelrichardson8538]

Love the Brinkley video. The rest of the RV industry has a long ways to go. Wire harnesses have been in the airline industry for years, easier to found and fix electrical problems. Brass plumbing connections instead of plastic. Its all worth the price. Thanks Josh.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY!

[@rvnuts6363]

Thank You Josh! I watched this when you first published it. Had a Jayco Pinnacle (21 model) and was not happy with the overall fit and finish and quality. I really liked the way you showed how Brinkley did their builds. So much so, that two and a half weeks ago we took the Brinkley G plant tour in person. We drove just over a thousand miles from home in Nebraska to Goshen because we were so intrigued by what you showed in this video. Needless to say in two days we pick up our 25 G3500 and are trading off the Jayco. We are like kids on Christmas Eve. My wife and I have trouble sleeping cuz we can’t wait to get this Brinkley. Mind you we are in our 60’s and have had an RV of some type for the last 35 years. We both can’t remember when we were so excited about getting another new RV. Keep up the AWESOME work you do in creating these videos as I know it is no small feat doing what you do! Thanks again!

[@sylviapowers7251]

These are exactly the type of videos I've been looking for! Thanks Josh and Brinkley!!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Enjoy!

[@montef]

Thanks, Nerd!Great work here, Josh! Thanks Nate and Brinkley for inviting Josh and his camera to the factory. Thanks, Bish’s RV for supporting Josh in making this video. I saw lots of things I liked as Josh moved through the factory. I was pretty sure that our toy hauler was going to be a Brinkley. Nothing I saw in this video made me question that. If anything, it made me more comfortable with that choice. Thanks again to everyone involved in this!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

wow.. ty so much for sharing this! Glad to know you enjoyed it :)

[@leanngoodall7602]

Thank you Brinkley. Thank you Josh. I love the detailed look at the making of a Brinkley.

[@icare7151]

Suggest they spray foam the ends of box frames and aluminum frame ends where no wood is inserted and is exposed which insulates and prevents thermal and sound transfers.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

[@juliasmith2140]

This video was the extra push we needed to buy our Model G 3500. We are so excited to pick it up in a couple of days. Thank you Brinkley for making a superior product and allowing Josh to put this video out there. We live full time in our RV and travel the country. We have been doing this in our 2022 Solitude 310GK. Don't get me wrong, the Solitude was fine. A few issues, nothing major but the way GD initially responded to the frame flex issues, really rubbed us the wrong way. I want a company that stands behind their product. Let's face it, they are RVs, they are going to have issues when you drive your house down the road at 60 mph. It's the payoff for this lifestyle, but the way Brinkley has tried to offset some of these potential issues really sold us. We wanted a company that was designing their frames differently and ultimately stronger. I think it's great they only churn out about 5 of these a day and focus more on PDI than quantity. Thanks Josh for video and thanks to Brinkley for making a superior product and also for thinking of your employees during the build process.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Glad you like it :)

[@flip4357]

Once again, you have out done yourself. Thanks to you, Bish and Brinkley for all that was involved in the making of this video.

[@leonardnelson7596]

Hey Uncle Josh, I hope you're having a great day! I'm glad that you have done a factory tour of Brinkley model G toy haulers are made from the steel frame to the finished product! I'm glad that you took us to each station1 through 40 or 42 an I have learned a lot from this video! When you was showing them putting on the roof membrane on an how they do the glue was the right way to do that step! I use to do commercial roofing, an I done a lot of rubber roofs! That is how we done the rubber roofs,we would roll the glue out onto the roof an we put glue onto the rubber roof material then we would slowly roll it out, then once we had it completely done we took a big roller and went back over the roof then we would go an use the rubber flashing on all the pipes an the AC curbs then we used a special sealant on all the seams! I'm going to go back and find all your factory tours that you have done and compare them to the Brinkley factory tour! Thank you Uncle Josh for showing us this video on the Brinkley factory tour and giving us all the steps that they do! Your number one fan and friend Leonard from North Carolina!!! #NERDHERD preferred way!!😎😄😃😀😎💪🤘🐒🐶🐕🐺🐱🐈🐅🦁🐻🐨🐼🐉🐲🐢😎

This is amazing! I've toured the factory floor at Keystone and Grand Design recently and the attention to detail I'm seeing from this video blows both of them away. Thank you for taking the time to provide this incredible deep dive into the construction of Brinkley's G series models. (And if you *ever* get the chance, a tour of Northwood Mfg would be incredible too as they're often cited as being built "better" than other mfgs)

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I definitely hope to get out there sometime

I would love to see RV manufactures implement mini-split systems. Thanks for the great video.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Some of the new Furrion units are actually pulling less juice even vs mini splits

[@stevez340]

For anyone that’s a full hookups Glamper and not an off grid camper it totally makes sense👍

[@AFMurse]

I was also wondering why manufacturers haven't jumped on the mini split train, but if Brinkley hasn't done it, I assume there's a reason lol.

[@kennethpethan8090]

Great Plant tour!!! Couple of Questions? Any talk of them building a wide body 102inch units? Also a straight line roof models, just wounding? Really like there build construction and the thinking behind it. Thanks again for your detailed video Josh!!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

The G is 101" wide and the early early rumor circulating about the pending Model R series suggests it'll follow similar sizing

[@karinporter7862]

This is a great in-depth look at a beautiful, well-made product. Thanks Josh, for spending your whole day capturing how this Brinkley is so well constructed. And thanks to Brinkley for giving you such amazing access. Sadly, one of these gorgeous creatures is not in my foreseeable future, but I believe I will be playing the lottery more often with very high hopes! Thanks again for a great video. I look forward to each one you publish and spend WAY too much time going through older ones. But I’m retired, so who cares whether my chores get done?!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

The best part of being retired you can do nothing today even if you did nothing yesterday because you weren't quite done doing nothing yet

I would like to know more about employee training, tool control, work instructions, system testing and the quality control system. Without proper tools and training, the quality of the materials won’t matter. I worked in a factory where everything had a place and was labeled. Thanks again.

[@thatdave86]

Based on your video and the shared information,is it safe to say that if all manufacturers built and checked their various RV models,there may not be the problems that have come to light with certain brand RVs,and consumer outcry to the various issues experienced by some customers,which certainly is not needed in the industry Thank you for your efforts in putting the content out there .

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks, I appreciate what you’ve done. I’ve been looking at Brinkleys. We shall see.

[@jgleim]

Thanks, Josh, for these factory tours. I get as much out of them as I do your walk through videos. We actually bought our current North Point, in part, because of your factory tour video. (That was back in 2022 P.B... Pre-Brinkley) I'm already smitten with Brinkley, and seeing the sausage made just makes me feel better.

[@raoulroberts2024]

Hey Josh! Thank you for this ultra-detailed factory tour. Your usual attention to detail is unmatched. In 20 chapters, Brinkley has over 70 glows (things they do well), but as you said, they're always looking to improve, so I wanted to point out a grow. At 57:26, it may be better to have the worker use an extendable grab hook to secure the red hooks to the trusses. Yes, you pointed out he's not stepping on the paneling, which would be worse, but by their exacting standards, every little bit helps. Not having to venture onto the roof at any point is better than the chance of stumbling and damaging the finished roof unit. Right?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Awesome. I’ll pass that along

Thank you for showcasing a manufacturer that actually puts pride into their product. If everyone built their product with this much thought and quality most everything that is made today would last almost forever. A very impressive company and a very impressive tour!

[@COMMANDER-ONE]

Automotive companies do this exact thing , (put pre-built parts together) many from companies they own 51% of. It’s cheaper this way and faster. Great video nerdle! I’m going to watch this in segments though! Love your work and I’ll be buying from Bishs RV next time !

I feel it would help navigate honest vs not so honest and people out here in CA. Would love to see about lamination and any other process.

Very impressive facility, fifth wheel, and company.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

[@jetdriver]

Great video Josh. In my view Brinkley is like a huge slap across the face of much of the RV industry that keeps building units of poor quality. Are Brinkley’s more expensive? Yes. But it’s not like a quality RV is a million dollars or something insane. And with their units incorporating as standard so many of the “upgrades” a lot of us install in our RVs the true price gap is even less. Just take the roof alone with that 25 year sealant. Why the rest of the industry insists on using a sealant that has to be inspected every 90 days is just utterly insane. I bet if we made senior execs at these companies personally inspect the roof of an RV they own every 90 days including in the dead of winter they’d do something about it. Instead we get excuse after excuse about how it’s too expensive or too hard. What BS. And as long and comprehensive and totally awesome as this video is you don’t even cover everything! Like the construction of their drawers. Most RVs even high end diesel pushers have drawers that are butt jointed and stapled with thin wood. It’s literally the weakest possible joint that could be done and the thin drawer bottoms often start coming out. But bit Brinkley. They use dovetail joints and thicker woods making their drawers. It’s exactly what you want for a drawer loaded up with pots and pans rolling down the road. And Brinkley is doing it.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thank you for watching and sharing all this!

[@dellamonagle7585]

LOVE your videos!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE Brinkley!!!!!!!!!!!! We have a 42" diesel that we love, but at this time in our lives....it's time to downsize. I'm waiting for Brinkley to engineer a smallish class C. We've already looked at a Brinkley and LOVED it. But, don't want to drive a pick-up and drag behind. It seems to me that the eastern half of the US is totally ignored by the RV industry... I'd be glad to beta test a drivable BRINKLEY!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Josh and Brinkley!! I really enjoy the factory tours, so much so that I've got three scheduled for next month. I will be touring Brinkley, Alliance, and the Rockwood/Flagstaff factories. I've pretty much made up my mind that my next trailer will be a Brinkley, but the tours will hopefully put the icing on the cake. With the current kerfuffle over fifth wheel frame failure, I was wondering if Brinkley also uses lag screws horizontally into the side walls and if they fill all of the holes there too?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I have videos on all three of those actually! The thing to remember with rockwood is their facility is older but the building doesn't dictate the product Alliance's factory is also really nice though

[@stevejonhson4947]

@@JoshtheRVNerd And I've watched all of your videos! I really enjoy your content and appreciate the effort and skill you put into them. I'm hoping to get a firsthand knowledge of each of their manufacturing processes that maybe can't be gained by watching someone else's video. I own a Rockwood Mini Lite now and I'm happy with the quality but feel the bones of the camper aren't what a Brinkley is. If I didn't want to expand our camping time, both in length and number of times camping per year, I would not be selling my current one.

If only Brinkley would get rid of all the wood like ATC toy haulers, or if ATC would add more slide outs and a better interior layout with more features. I also like how ATC uses aluminum skin with automotive grade paint so it can't delaminate, most RVs seem to delaminate before it's even paid off.

Do you plan to do an updated tour with showing the FBP process?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

These factory tours are a huge undertaking so I don’t have the cha. E to get that many or make revised footage Perhaps at some point I’ll make it happen but it’ll be some time

Excellent video Josh! Thank you. I watched the entire video with the hope of hearing that a Brinkley travel trailer toy hauler is in the works. Sadly that didn’t happen. Brinkley, can you tell me if a travel trailer Model G is coming anytime soon? Unfortunately the fifth wheel Model G is out of the reach of my budget and instead of lowering our standards and settling for a lesser fifth wheel toy hauler, we will happily wait for a Brinkley travel trailer that fits our needs. I can only afford one or the other. We plan on making our purchase by the end of this year. We need a travel trailer toy hauler that will carry my 1,240 lb. three wheel Harley-Davidson and 100 lb. mattress for Happi-Jack and still maintain a separate (not open) garage with a small half bath. I’ve seen several runner ups lately with 2000 lb garage CCC that meet the bill, but they don’t have the Brinkley quality that we want. My fingers are crossed while I wait for your answer. Thank you.👍🏼😎

Hi josh. We have a rpod 193. We yave done a few mods to it. Nothing that cant be put back to the original. We are wanting to get something bigger and do a trade in on it. Will the mods affect it at the rv dealership?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It's all subject to what you've done. You've described it like nothing invasive so it's probably fine

Thanks Josh love the videos. Hey I have a G4000 and the back heat pump won’t start it sounds like maybe it is seized. But It is not as the A/C works fine. Just the heat pump will not kick on. When I turn it off it does run the fan as to cool it, I think for like 30 seconds. The other 2 work great. Is there a reset or something i can check? Thanks guys

Apologies I'm not well versed on diag'ing things like that over a quick text communication and don't know that I'm the best source for you here

Are you saying the Z’s are not built for the GenY? And yes, seeing the lamination process would be interesting. It’s also nice to see the workers when they allow it.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

sorry if I wasn't clear Z's do not offer Gen Y from the factory but are gen-y approved
