What do you all think of the new Brinkley Travel Trailer!?! RV Madness doesn't stop!! Tomorrow i have a brand new Toy Hauler!!! Have a great Saturday!!!

[@ruthihaner1058]

Couldn't post a comment, but can respond here. I love the non-dungeon color/vibe! Totally love this one! Yay Brinkley!

[@larachamberlin12]

I have been looking at 5th wheels and travel trailers.😭 For months now. This is The 1st travel trailer that i have liked! The kitchen counter space is perfect! I love all the storage in the kitchen! The bedroom...i like all the walk around room and storage as well, even the safe is a good touch! Absolutely as cozy as cozy can get! I honestly do not have anything bad to say about it! Would be perfect for us to haul around and see the country and with it being a Brinkley, i know it would hold up! I will do some more research on this unit... i also saw there was a 295. I haven't looked at it yet. Not sure what pluses or minuses it has, but will see what it offers. I am honestly smitten with this Brinkley! Also, i enjoy your videos immensely! You have a unique style and i love the music you pair with the videos. I have added many of them to my reportoire! You are well suited for this line of work! Keep up rhe amazing work 🤩

[@littlebit8901]

Great job man! Great job

[@TheRVHunter]

Thank you!!! Greatly appreciate you taking the time to comment - really helps me out!

[@scotttaylor7211]

Don’t change anything. I think your reviews are great!!!

[@TheRVHunter]

Thanks!!! Always the great battle on watching yourself wondering how you do 😂😂😂 I’ll always be my hardest critic!!

[@TanyaRando]

I love this, I'm just stuck on the seating. I'd be tempted to add somewhere to eat on the island, with an extension, and take out the table, putting a hide-a-bed there. The ottoman are great, I really like those, very versatile. I love that the sink and cook top are centralised. I think the trash can drawer should have 2 in it, one for trash and one for recycling. Some great storage in this. The size of the desk is great. I love the height, we have a lot of 6ft 2" men in my family. nothing to dislike in the bathroom, I love a decent size shower. The bedroom is classy, I love the way the storage under the bed is set out, much more versatile. And great to have somewhere for my book and a glass! Brinkley has to be one of my favourites.

[@TheRVHunter]

I like it! Great ideas

[@ernestogallegos6503]

Absolutely beautiful. Going with a Brinkley for my next trailer. Can't imagine what they'll have in 2-3 years

[@TheRVHunter]

Right!? Going to be wild to see!

[@ernestogallegos6503]

@@TheRVHunter can't wait!

[@MrTCB62]

Well Hunter we just ordered the 285 and are super excited for its arrival! It should be here by June, and can’t wait to try it out! Thank you for the excellent videos you do! Fantastic!

[@TheRVHunter]

Thanks!!! Enjoy it, they are so nice!!! Excited for you to hit the road 💪🔥

[@rsmartin68]

Brinkley got a strike on this one. Didn't see anything I didn't like. I've had the chance to walk through a few of their 5th wheels at shows and I saw firsthand how clean the fit and finish is on these. Don't change your style. You're doing a great job.

[@TheRVHunter]

thank you!!! I agree - Brinkley is on point as always!

[@CallsignVega]

A strike? lol I think you mean a hit.

[@TheRVHunter]

On this Channel a strike is a good thing lol big bowler!

[@rsmartin68]

​@TheRVHunter that was exactly my angle 😂

[@TheRVHunter]

🤣🔥😂

[@cherylewalls8137]

Brinkley hit it out of the park once again.

[@TheRVHunter]

Agreed!

[@missstarry11596]

Perfect for weekenders they nailed it . For semi or full timers bedroom is to small king bed is needed maybe even a bedroom slide fire place in the bedroom is great .😊

[@TheRVHunter]

Agreed!

[@truchretienne8889]

Really nice. This model could make me consider a travel trailer. Thanks 🤙🏾

[@TheRVHunter]

Right!? So fancy lol

[@MRHEAT20]

Great review- thanks 🍻

[@TheRVHunter]

Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to Comment!

[@miracleyorkies4212]

Love the kitchen and all the kitchen space and countertop everything is perfectly spaced. Only two seats to watch TV.... I feel like there should be at least four. Put a loft in this thing and it's practically perfect

[@TheRVHunter]

That would be bonkers lol I agree!

[@MEK44600]

Hello from France, yes Hunter, i love that ❤, it's cool, it's really cool !! For a couple but for ONE it's just huge and really cool. Lot's of deep storages, in the kitchen and in the bedroom, and yes for washer it's really cool. Thank lot for see that. It's really a good RV, you are the Best Hunter 😂 see you

[@TheRVHunter]

lol thank you!!!

[@charlestillman2823]

Very nice loving it

[@TheRVHunter]

Me too!

[@mikedee6812]

Def my next camper. Currently have a Jayco but this blows it out the water

[@TheRVHunter]

These are so nice!

[@liset6347]

Great travel trailer and we would have waited for this one if the living/kitchen space would have been flipped so dining and theatre seats were on camp side. We do really love the bedroom fireplace and underbed storage. Wish they could do the same in the Z2900 that we've ordered. This will be our first fifth wheel so wish us luck. LOL

[@TheRVHunter]

lol good luck!!! You are going to love it!

[@danielcouturier6037]

Actually like this one! Normally I just not like the fifth wheels but this is nice.

[@TheRVHunter]

I like it also!!

[@Powerstroke98]

Some of the larger door enclosures seem to have soft close, but not the drawers, as he had to give them a full push to close them? One should have them similar to residential being added these days, with a simple push they fully close on their own...not a huge deal, but a simple convenience. Something not mentioned, that perhaps should be, is a quality fan over the stove, exiting to the outside, as that's not even something we have in our Class A motorhome! While cooking often there can be a lot of steam if cooking pasta, or if it's raining outdoors and you're forced to cook burgers inside, an exiting fan blower to push that outside is important. Also, if say you burn some toast, an exiting fan could suck out even a minimal amount of smoke so the detectors don't go off, although I know it has the big max air ceiling fan, but this above stove exiting fan can be very helpful. Didn't notice him mention any USB-C outlets within the bedroom cubby's (just 110v) which I heard the 29' trailer does? Will be keeping an eye out for if/when one comes with a King bed! Well constructed, and over the years, I'm sure Brinkley will be adding some nice features, where the actually LISTEN to it's customers!

[@sharonlamarsh-biggar8218]

They should flip the floor plan so the kitchen and tv is on the other side. Right now all the windows are looking towards your neighbor rather than campside!

[@TheRVHunter]

A few have mentioned that now!

[@MrTCB62]

Hey Hunter, is there anyway you can take a video of the inside of the Z285 Brinkley and just have the accent lights on and shut all the other lights off to see what it looks like at night?

[@user-ed2fl7rk9p]

I just found your KZbin channel. I like your style and your thorough review. As I near retirement, I am keeping an eye out for a potential full-time living RV. I love the quality materials used in Brinkley. In reviewing a lot of videos, I've learned plumbing in RVs can be a huge problem. Many manufactures plumb incorrectly, in a way that would never meet housing code, but they get away with it in RV construction. Brinkly is among those, especially on its 5th wheel 2900. I'm curious if you have any thoughts on that issue regarding the 285 Air?

[@TheRVHunter]

Thank you, happy to found the channel!! I truly wish I had an answer for you but I know next to nothing about plumping :( all I can say is I have not heard anyone speak on it to me :/ sorry I couldn’t be of more help!

[@karlwagner4418]

Brinkley has some of the best quality and innovation out there, no question. The decor for me anyway has an office feel and not a Residencial feel. My only complaint

[@TheRVHunter]

I personally like the decor but I can see what your saying

[@1ChosenchildofGod]

Price would be Super nice. But wardrobe need!! remove hooks & fp reverse for w& dryer. Then super nice!! I love dealers adding the gold hardware now in with the black n white sharper touch

[@TheRVHunter]

It’s ready and waiting for ya!

[@1ChosenchildofGod]

​@@TheRVHunterthere's one as that?

[@1ChosenchildofGod]

Cool. I haven't looked yet. But I do Love this one..Sharp inside & out

[@1ChosenchildofGod]

Is it a different stk #?

[@tbirdrob]

Love the Brinkley and love your reviews. One thing (and you say this in every video): it is not a "three stove top burner"; it is a "three burner stove top"!

[@TheRVHunter]

Hmmmmm never thought about it 😂 is there a difference? They do hire me cause I’m Friendly so maybe I’ve been wrong and don’t know it!!! Appreciate you letting me know!

[@tbirdrob]

@@TheRVHunter yeah it's not a burner with three stove tops. It's a stove top with three burners.

[@JaredJackson-bt7uv]

Have you improved the plumbing?

[@liset6347]

Can you please find a newer Z2900 and do a review? You're great at walk throughs.

[@TheRVHunter]

Thanks! I’ll keep my eyes peeled when I’m out and about!

[@dougwilliams3276]

Where are you located? This year we are wanting to order a Z3400 and like the way you do these videos. Thanks again

[@TheRVHunter]

Funtown RV - any of their locations! I’ll be in Texas next Sunday for a week!

[@TheRVHunter]

And thanks!!!

[@user-hb5ib3tw1i]

Okay, it's nice Brinkley considered well made and has light colored cabinets but this floor plans sucks, especially compared to our 2020 FR v-21 that is same size but also a toyhaulers complete with rear patio. 1st is narrow entrance that will get scratched up loading, then one has to look over island for tv. And forget that small wall dining table that squeezes people together. Next is smaller passthrough storage compared to same length v-21 that has 2 vis-vis sofa dining that handles 6 and so roomy one can sleep on or fully longer in each to watch tv and still so roomy can use as office complete with file storage at fingers and printer. Then has unique vertical shed with shelves to set up fishing poles and organize all vertically so no more digging stuff out to get at back stuff. It's all acordian upright including rugs, tents, drills, tackle boxes, ladders, bbq. And only 1 slide to maint. for king bed that even offers a bureau with on suite 2+ person bath. With 1 king bed slide all kitchen, bath, frig is completely accessible during travel and pet and toddler rainy day play running around the bed, bath open floor loop around. Brinkley would be better off putting island in rear and table in middle to open that floor plan as it's tight for 2 people. How's person at table supposed to see TV or person washing dishes. All this money for slide outs but uncomfortable layout the many days it rains. The big frig is a plus but can it be accessed during travel days? And with slide out into patio, it's pretty difficult to tether or fence the pet as have to crawl underneath slide and we ain't getting any younger. And it can't even bring a golf cart, cycle or kayaks. It's more like a lot of money to attempt to sit in a squished hotel room on rainy days where our 30 foot not only has like bedroom, large 2bath but a whole queen loft that doubles as an interior attic. On top of 6 person dining that turns into yet another queen or 2 twins along with the queen loft and king bedroom. Now that speaks adult guests or kids with grandkids all in a 30 ft. There's too much wasted space in kitchen and not enough where people actually are most of time around TV and table eating, crafts, games and filing taxes or planning route. Why does the dish washer have to miss movie?

[@MrLeftyk32]

You mentioned you did not think you had seen two fireplaces in a travel trailer before, you actually have. You did a video not too long ago on the Primetime Lacrosse 3411RK and was blown away with that model and it had two fireplaces.

[@TheRVHunter]

You are absolutely correct! Idk why I blanked on that but either way it’s super cool 😂😂 thank you! As I say, they hire me cause I’m friendly 😂🙄

[@MrLeftyk32]

@TheRVHunter We just appreciate your honest reviews, keep them coming!

[@TheRVHunter]

Thank you!!! Greatly appreciate that! I’m hopefully leaving tonight to drive 9 hour round trip for another National debut! Crossing fingers cause it’s insane!

[@stevejonhson4947]

It's nice, but I'm waiting for something closer to the Z3100 5th wheel. Refrigerators don't belong in the back of an RV where everything gets bounced around the most, seating needs to be on the camp side, the tiny, toy, plastic sink in the bathroom just doesn't fit with the quality of the rest of the trailer, and it needs a king bed option. You completely skipped over the fact that it is a tankless water heater, but I think I saw the control for it under the bathroom sink. I don't think that is a good location for it. I enjoyed your presentation but you could be a bit smoother with the camera movements. It was a bit fast and shaky at times.

[@redpoole9323]

Using the same hardware and Chinese press board and Glue as a 20k Trailer. But the advertisement is pure quality. 🤣 🤣 🤣 their all Built the same.

[@christinathomsen6981]

Where in the North East Pennsylvania area can you bring these to be serviced. That is a huge deterrent to us purchasing this. We need to know where authorized work can be done. Anyone know?

[@Luvrdoxie]

❤❤❤❤

[@stretmusic2500]

Looks nice but really similar to the reflection 297 rsts which has a lot more living room space. This seems pretty cramped together

[@christophershaffner2827]

What is that round hatch in the pantry?

[@philblock]

I was hoping it would've been a traditional rear living as that's our fav layout, but other than that I like it. I do prefer the kitchen on the non camp side tho.

[@TheRVHunter]

I understand!

[@philblock]

@@TheRVHunter any hints if my wishlist will be granted from Brinkley?

[@TheRVHunter]

@philblock there are some rumblings of some changes you will like :)

[@philblock]

@@TheRVHunter I'll keep my ear to the ground then. We have a brand new 2024 bullet 287rls right now but I'd like our next RV to be a Brinkley and I'd prefer a travel trailer honestly.

[@BrinkleyRV]

👊🔥🔥🔥

[@TheRVHunter]

You all crushed it again🔥🔥🔥

[@Tn81G]

Can you watch DVD movies on the tv

[@freeskier175]

Kitchen should have been reversed. No windows camp side, only have neighbor veiw...uggg. look at the bullet 287rls floor plan.

[@TheRVHunter]

I feel that

[@alvindorris4373]

Like see one soon in real Tk u. HUNTER

[@damnyankee656]

That north to south bed, another x Brinkley. In every 5th wheel I've seen with your name on it is out of the park. This one belongs on the zoo. No storage for clothes. So that person who is working on the road obviously has no clothes to speak of as there's no place to put them. No place for a cpap machine either. I do like the safe built into the floor. The hooks are right above the fireplace, thou electric still a fire hazard.

[@TheRVHunter]

There is a cubby for a c-pap with outlets - there’s actually a cpap in it, in this video! There is also a massive closet in the bedroom

[@damnyankee656]

Wait, you mean I've gotta buy a 5th wheel from Brinkley on order to get a slide out pantry. Seriously Brinkley, wtf. Short people will have to pull everything out just to get back into the rear most part of the pantry to get stuff out and those overhead cabinets are just as bad

[@rickvelez877]

I wish that they would install the stove from the fifth wheel in here.

[@TheRVHunter]

That would be awesome lol

[@alfrdup]

Hate the booths they are putting in these units. The color doesn't match either.

[@TheRVHunter]

welp

[@missourimule2977]

It's not just Brinkley, but almost all rvs have hooks over the toilet for your bsth towels. Gross!🤮 Who in their right minds would want their bath towel hanging there?!?!?? I figured that a male made that decision. Or possibly a woman who wasn't raised right! It's a disgusting feature, and I can't wait for someone in the industry to address this utterly unsanitary issue. As much as I like this little trailer, without a slide out in the bedroom and king-sized bed, I would definitely pass on it. Also, why only these black appliances? Come on, they don't offer any other finishes on appliances. Honestly, there is nowhere to put the machine my husband needs for his breathing machine at night. Other than those things mentioned, I admire Brinkley's commentment to qualify. I pray they don't lose or start compromising on that. At they're price point, they most certainly need to deliver. You, however, do a fantastic job of showcasing the RVs. I hope you do well an "hunny bun" finally gets those counter tops she been dreaming and hoping for!

[@TheRVHunter]

thank you!!!

[@user-gg8fd5bs7g]

You didn’t spend enough time on the exterior…like explaining the seperate manual grey tank dump for the kitchen, or covering the suspension which alot of seasoned campers care about. And if you want to lose followers, keep going with the corny bowling references. People want the facts and don’t care what your hobby is.

[@TheRVHunter]

If you don’t like me don’t watch me lol I could have done the exterior better but not going to fake it for you 😂

[@user-gg8fd5bs7g]

First and last video of yours I will watch. Its pretty clear when the person actually knows the product and cares, and when they are just going for views and likes. Have a good evening.
