Did the GEN-Y Pin Box PASS or FAIL Brinkley RV's Testing? Sharing the SHOCKING Results!

[@SmokeyBear2001]

I have had my Gen-Y gooseneck for nearly 4 years on my Reflection. Absolutely luv it. Recommend it to everyone I can...the Brinkley is awesome, looking to buy one. Great video!!!!

[@ourrvsunsets]

WOW!!!! Really happy that we added the Gen-Y to our Brinkley Z-3100. Thanks for sharing this.

[@BenjaminMedlock]

Wonder if this will help Lippert approve Gen Y for all manufacturers?

[@BigTruckBigRV]

This might be more about how Brinkley specs their frames. I had a chance to see several Brinkley frames and they were built incredibly robust. Thumbs up to them for that!

[@BenjaminMedlock]

@@BigTruckBigRV this is why my next RV will be a Brinkley!

[@GENYHITCH]

@@BigTruckBigRV To add to your comment, is how everyone should build the frames on these big fifth wheels!

[@buckwuk7984]

​@BigTruckBigRV wouldn't it be fair to say that it would benefit any frame given the results? Even if brinkley does have better built frames than others. They say in the video only changing the pin box out from a standard one dramatically decreased the stress.

[@gregstahl223]

I just called my REP at Luxe and they said that if Brinkley got it approved by Lippert that they should as well and are working on it because of this video.

[@user-wq9lq6gx3h]

Leonard Truck Accessories carries and installs GenY - we almost always get feedback from customers telling us they can feel the difference in their ride. Great products and innovation!

[@PawsForLove]

This is fantastic! We will always rock a Gen-Y Goosneck. We enjoyed it on our Alliance Valor and are putting it on our new Alliance Paradigm when we take delivery in a couple weeks!

[@BigTruckBigRV]

This is a GREAT video! I'm glad to see your testing shows great results.

[@GENYHITCH]

Thank you JD!

[@jenkinstravels354]

I wouldn’t use any other hitch we love ours. Pulls and rides amazing

[@user-uu3om9gp9d]

Great video, how about Brinkly offer the Geny from the factory for all their 5th wheels.

[@penneemw]

Yes! Our dealer did not use the GenY required bolts to install ours. They used the standard hitch bolts and we didn’t realize it until after we towed it over 500 miles.

[@Captain-Awesome]

My wife and I purchased a Z3610 from Brinkley a few months ago and moved to a Gen-Y Executive Gooseneck hitch before leaving the dealer and absolutely love it!! As of today we have a bit over 2,300 miles on it and just got back to Dallas from a Skiing trip in Ruidoso, New Mexico. Fortunately, the Gen-Y performed better than I did snowboarding. 🏂 😅 ouch!!

[@MrCasket]

This is epic and perfect timing! You’re spot on and have a great marketing mind!

[@wildrvlife]

We love our GEN-Y Executive gooseneck and these test results are awesome!! Great job with this video!

[@Aken711]

A little confused by the data. Hertz is a measure of frequency, but to measure the vibration/impact forces into the trailer/tow vehicle via accelerometer shouldn't you be looking at amplitude such as the g's or measurement of actual force? Hertz could help understand the order at which the force or noise is amplified but I don't see it being the final measure of impact reduction? Also, I'm reading the majority of the data, which is related to trailer impact forces (not so much transfer to tow vehicle aka the GenY) to suggest that the trailer suspension and in this case the sumo springs, to have had the primary factor to reducing the trailer impact and wear(?) btw good job sourcing Link Engineering. We use them a lot for automotive DV evals. I'm all for a cushioned pin box, run a goosebox myself, just didn't really see data show that factors effect.

[@GENYHITCH]

Good comment and knowledge shared. Amplitude was also measured and it had a huge impact. While discussing with the engineers in order to create this video, the graph that showed amplitude was not explained as much, so it ended up not being included. But based on this comment it definitely would have cleared that up! All the suspension systems tested had a sizable effect on amplitude versus the control. This video was meant to be a way of sharing all the results in a way for everyone to understand, but we will look into if we have permission to release the whole report. However the actual wording in the conclusion of the report made by third party engineers is “The largest acceleration change is attributed to the GEN-Y pinbox regardless of EQ setup.”

We are buying model g brinklie and getting that installed from factory can’t wait to pull my camper and Injoy life 😊

Brinkley crushing the competition 👍

[@mikewadams1]

Just purchased Z 3400 and I am having the Gen-Y installed. Can’t wait to pick it up on Saturday!

[@dougp2534]

Ordered........Great Info

[@Markhamsonthemove]

Now maybe Lippert can get on board and figure it out.

[@phillipc4865]

Nice review and results. I would believe it. I towed my fifth wheel for 10 years with an energy adsorbing hitch. I would never tow a fifth wheel with any brand of rigid hitch again. They will beat the hell out of your RV and rv pin box area.

[@RamblinReflections]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.

[@napes65]

Is there a Gen-Y approved for Z3100? Are Sumo springs approved on it as well?

[@GENYHITCH]

GEN-Y EXECUTIVE comes standard on the Model G but can easily be added to any Brinkley models, including the Z3100. We have a great partnership with Brinkley. As for Sumo springs, Brinkley would be who to ask when wondering if other products are approved by them. Their models have some sort of suspension system, but I would reach out to them for each model's specifics

[@chrisslater1936]

Please come out with something for travel trailers :). I have a z295 Air coming soon lol.

[@GENYHITCH]

We actually have the same TORSION-FLEX technology in a bumper pull hitch. Our BOSS gives you that smoother tow AND an adjustable drop on a bumper pull. We think it works perfectly with the Air models, you should check it out! 😎 genyhitch.com/product-category/boss-torsion-flex-drop-hitches/

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Great video! Are there negotiations with LCI to approve your product based on these results?

[@GENYHITCH]

Thank you! We've been having ongoing conversations for months with LCI to approve the product

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Hopefully this helps move those conversations along! @@GENYHITCH Absolutely love your products!

[@mtcook111]

Are Sumo Springs standard on Brinkley RVs? Did you perform tests without the Sumo Springs?

[@GENYHITCH]

Yes I believe they are standard on the Model G... YES the very first column on the test report "left side" is without sumo springs

[@jeffconley819]

@@GENYHITCHnice setup.

[@NEWPL]

Brinkley unofficially approves Gen Y

[@JerimiahBorkowski]

Officially. Brinkley Model G models come standard with GEN-Y with the gooseneck optional.

[@dougp2534]

Brinkley and LUXE us Gen-Y Exclusively now. Both are Top Notch RV'S 150-350k.

[@RamblinRoadies]

Is a copy of the test results available?

[@GENYHITCH]

We currently don't have a copy of the test results available for everyone to view, however nearly every page of the report is used in the video. And the pages seen in the video are directly exported from the report, so all numbers, graphs, testing procedures are the actual reporting data. The motion graphic animation is to scale with the rest of the report. We tried to be as transparent as possible with this video to share all the results!

[@RamblinRoadies]

@@GENYHITCH it looked like you were comparing various pinboxes. I was curious about how it compared to the MorRyde.

[@GENYHITCH]

@@RamblinRoadies Sorry for the confusion, the MorRyde product that was tested was their equalizers. We wanted to share all the test pages as is and unedited but the labels should have had a little more information. This testing by Brinkley was comparing various suspension systems, so our pin box was tested against a normal factory pin box but not against any competitor pin boxes.

[@RamblinRoadies]

@@GENYHITCH thank you for responding.

[@traveldawg]

Interesting that there is no mention of one of Gen-Y's major competitor - the Reese Goosebox. So - just another bogus comparison from someone thinking they did us all a favor. FOUL!

[@GENYHITCH]

Our GEN-Y pin box was tested against a standard factory pin box, not other competitor aftermarket pin boxes. Our pin box making a huge difference in the amount of vibration and frame chatter vs a normal pin box proves the usefulness of the product. The other products in the testing were various equalizers. The engineers at Brinkley did this testing to find out which equalizer setup would provide the best towing experience and keep their units on the road the longest. The GEN-Y EXECUTIVE performed VERY well, which is one reason why it comes standard on the Brinkley Model G.
