This is one of my favorite campers I've seen since I have been watching Josh all these years.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

wow!

[@randygrossman9990]

I agree. Really nice and well thought out. Only thing I couldn't figure out is if those nice big windows in the living area open? It didn't look like it which would be a little weird.

[@briandonald]

I concur!

[@ChicGeek222]

WOW!!! No one does it like Brinkley!!! THIS is why they're a the top of my list!!!! Thanks for sharing! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You bet! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@91CavGT5]

I had the pleasure last week of walking through the big Brinkley travel trailer. It reminded me as a high end Lance RV in that the fit and finish of EVERYTHING is just about perfect, storage is AMAZING as EVERYWHERE that could be used for storage has been used. The bedroom storage……. I’m speechless!!! I’ve never seen such great bedroom storage short of an RV with a bedroom slide. The shades actually cover ALL of the window instead of letting light shine around the edges like most RVs do. Brinkley has DEFINITELY raised the bar with what can be done in an RV. Bravo Brinkley, bravo!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Love this feedback! TY so much!

[@CaliAAA72]

Man you can tell he genuinely excited about this model. He was a kid on Christmas, a kid in a candy story!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It's facts! I get SO numb and bored looking at Rvs all day.. something new and exciting GENUINELY interests me

[@10a3asd]

This thing is gorgeous. Make it with no slide and I'm all in.

[@Erin-Thor]

❤❤❤❤❤ Brinkley just said “HOLD MY BEER…” and created the BEST DESK/DINING SOLUTION of ANY RV. While I’m not a fan of projection screens, I have seen good ones that just worked! The ability to plug your laptop into that projector/screen is AWESOME! The desk space is also AWESOME!

[@kfh227]

Agree on the projector but if I go out with my trailer, I better not be concerned about the TV being a priority.

[@Erin-Thor]

@ - I can see that, but I like to spend a few hours looking at my investments every day. A proper desk and big screen is a productivity need not a want. A projection screen is my biggest concern about this. I would need to see that in use to make a purchase decision. Add that being able to watch the morning news, weather, etc. in the mornings is something I love. So while vacationing, YES, a TV is something to be avoided… while traveling it becomes a tool. I’ve altered our travel plans several times due to weather forecasts.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

lol I know! That dinesk setup is great and is something they're doing in several of their 30ft FW models as well

[@Erin-Thor]

@@JoshtheRVNerd- If they make a unit around 26’ I’ll be transferring funds and buying one ASAP. 😊

[@jenniferwilliams-perkins6413]

I actually like that open space above the dresser in the bedroom! Feels more open!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I do too but I also respect the storage comments other had for it

[@rustyoak8860]

and I would prefer the extra hanging space. I'd use the under the bed hanging for jackets and rain gear, stuff you don't use daily. But being a golfer, I have a lot of polo shirts, pants, stuff like that, and would definitely appreciate the extra hanging space.

❤😮 WOW 1/2 ton and beautiful 😍❤️ For ME, this is the perfect couple's camper. This glamping is exactly what I want to do with that special someone. I love the contemporary styling. ❤

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It really does redefine luxury in such a compact space!

[@chrismis2062]

Brinkley is creating all kinds of new ground that the other manufacturers are going to be forced to imitate, or get left behind. This model is gorgeous and innovative and ideal for couples' camping. Thanks so much for giving us a tour!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think you're right!

[@MrSlinki52]

Unlike some others who don’t seem to understand physics, I’m genuinely impressed. This is clearly a small, couple’s camper and the two-seat dining/media arrangement works very well. It leaves the floor plan open and provides media facing seats. The overhang would take some getting used to, however EVERY rv has a component that takes getting used to. As I have a family, I’m not in the market for this one, but kudos to Brinkley. Fit and finish looks amazing.

[@htschultz]

what does physics have to do with anything here and why is it important to you to have such a wide open floorplan in that living area? i understand i'm likely in the minority here, but as much as i can appreciate the desk/table area, i'd actually prefer a traditional dinette, even at the risk of being old-fashioned, giving up precious floor space, and not truly understanding physics.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

"who don't seem to understand physics" got me snorting over here

[@MrSlinki52]

@@htschultz Where physics come into play, is simply that you have limited space and weight in order to maintain 1/2 towing. A dinette would be larger, meaning you either extend the trailer to accommodate, or you shrink the kitchen space to accommodate. I use the kitchen daily, where as I will eat outside, on the sofa, or the table. I go entire camping trips without using our dinette, so I don’t want to lose kitchen space for dinette space. As for making larger, well, it would now be longer and heavier. Likely no longer 1/2 ton towable. Lastly, as far as why I like open spaces, that’s my preference. Have a great day!

[@MrSlinki52]

@@JoshtheRVNerd My work is done here!! 😂

[@htschultz]

@@MrSlinki52, first of all sir, thank you for your response--I appreciate the clarification. I do like the contemporary look of the table/desk, but if the weather is decent, we're cooking/eating/hanging out outside regardless. But when the weather is crummy and we're forced inside, then we're likely cooking/eating/working inside, and in those situations, for us, given the choice (if there was an option), we'd opt for function (dinette) over form (table/desk). All that being said, it's a moot point for us as I previously shared, as the weight is simply far too heavy for our TV, so I'm not really their target demo with my lightweight MB GLE SUV, as this beauty requires some sort of robust pickup truck. Thanks!

[@mikecoulter9030]

WOW!!! Brinkley nailed it. Thank you for the in depth coverage. I also appreciate how you do the road mode.

[@betterwithrum]

This is very exciting, not because this unit is for us, it's not, but because it opens the possibility for some additional floor plans that are smaller, and hopefully 🤞family friendly. Love it, here for it Brinkley! Keep them coming!

I saw a similar concept bed with a step down walk in closet probably 15 yrs ago on Pinterest. I've tried to figure out a way to incorporate into a RV since I saw it. Congratulations Brinkley for doing it. I absolutely love this rig. I'd have to sit in the bathroom space to see if it'd work for me. I love the reclining theater seats but if they were in fabric 😘👌.

Great job Brinkley🎊

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Glad you like it! :)

[@Uncle_Bob_K]

I really like it but I think a couple of tweaks could make it perfect for me. No window in the door is fine, I'd keep the shade pulled all the time anyway. Besides, you have that big window right next to it to peek out of. I like the under-the-bed storage as it is but changing the tall dresser into a wardrobe with drawers would be a good idea. Also, I'd move the pantry to the other side of the theater seat leaving the fridge in the kitchen area. The seat would be between the pantry and the fridge so that the view screen is more centered on the seat. That's it. That's all I would want to change to make it perfect for me.

[@13bellhop]

im not a projector person, rather have a tv, but i appreciate the ingenuity

[@Erin-Thor]

Me too! I wish they would have put a mechanical (spring release) Televator instead of a projection screen, I’d love a big 43”+ 4K screen instead of a projector screen personally. But this could work great, I’m just a bit skeptical 🤷🏽‍♂️👍🏽😎

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Owners could certainly place a LARGE tv across from that sofa thankfully!

[@kimochristy3635]

@@JoshtheRVNerdyou might have mentioned that the window has an electronic component-magnetic function that allows for a clear see-through as well as a frosted glass function that is operated by a switch.

[@d1ja6]

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think it's just too deep to do that as one piece and would require awkward chair height/sizes. This design allows you to use pretty normal chairs

If you can please do a more detail in depth video once your excitement wears off. (Lol). 2. Can you do a video on how someone like me from Texas can buy an RV like this one from you? The process, pros, cons, etc. I absolutely trust you so I’m sure you do an excellent job explaining the ins and outs and the good and bad of buying an RV out of state even from you. Great video Sir.

[@tinaprice4948]

[@TanyaRando]

I love the look of this, the kitchen is centralised in its appliances, which is how I like it. I would have hide a bed, which keeps the versatility for me. I'd have to get the kids to teach me how to use the projector. I love that the desk extends, and would make the space for the kitchen be massive if you wanted it to be, you may be batch cooking or having a buffet etc. I love the kitchen window over the sink. The kitchen storage is very good. I'd give up a dishwasher to have an oven to be honest. I like the planned ideas for the pantry. The bedroom looks bright and open, and I love the nightstands. Mine would be my chargers and devices and anything I wanted to hide from the OH or kids! I don't think I'd use the hanging space under the bed, I'd rather have totes, or zipped bags. I like having the option to hang stuff in the newer plan. I don't have much to hang up, particularly if I'm camping. The width of the living area looks huge as you're walking out of the bedroom. I love the bathroom, great features, nice space, decent size bathroom sink (for a change!!) And plenty of storage, with a fabulous shower. I really, really like this, I'd be hard pushed to find something I don't like. Any negative observations have been the lucky variety #nerdherd #rvnerdherd They could string some plastic tubing in the shower and have a washing line for delicate hand wash stuff😂😂 Brinkley A+ Does the indoor/outdoor entertainment thing mean that if you're having a movie night inside, that passers by can see what you're watching? That confused me a little bit.

[@kimochristy3635]

You have the option of watching the projector either inside or out. Josh didn’t touch on the window which has an electronic component that makes the glass clear or frosted. This is activated by a dedicated switch. When watching inside you will use the pull down shade as your screen.

[@magedojo]

Thinking about doing some nomad work from a travel trailer. That dinette pullout would be a perfect desk setup. Could even use that projector as a second large monitor. Just throw an actual desk chair in there (e.g. Herman Miller Aeron) and all set!

[@jonathanbier2638]

Beautiful rig 1. Love the bathroom layout. 2. Unique approach in entertainment is interesting, worth the try. 3. Storage is great. Negatives: 1. Counter space is limited. I do wonder if they would be better off going with a two burner stove given the lack of the oven. A vertically oriented stove would really open up some counter / prep space. 2. It would be great if you could rotate table so you could sit across from someone rather than just "next to someone".

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I love that stove idea..

[@lindataylor4122]

Thanks Nerrrrrddddd!!!!! This trailer is amazing! It is so innovative! But that is a synonym for Brinkley, isn't it. You did mention that the recliners will be completely manual. I would prefer the kind with heat and massage. When you are my age, that would be a desirable option. Bravo Brinkley on putting in that trio refrigerator. It is my preferred type of fridge. (Why does fridge have a d in it, but refrigerator doesn't?) I can't tell from the video, but is there enough room a combo washer/dryer could be fit in either the bathroom or even in the fancy new walkdown closet? Thanks again and great job!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I ask myself about Fridge/Refrigerator all the time W/D units just wont' work in this rv as it turns out

[@Knightairman1]

I absolutely love this!!❤❤🎉. Only thing in would want is a bigger window/projector screen. I think this is very well thought out and wonder if it will be copied.

[@geneschneider606]

1) i wish the dinette/desk slid all the way in, even if the cabinet needs to be larger. I see too many bruises happening to me with the current setup. 2)Take out the double chair with center armrest, put in a loveseat and make the slide 6-8 inches smaller to be able to reach the bedroom in travel mode. The lack of skylight in the shower is brilliant. Overall I really dig it 😀

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

MOST rv theater seats are made "piecewise" meaning you have 3 pieces there which are hooked together.. meaning they can usually be unhooked and re-arranged. So you'd be able to remove the armrest or put it off to the side

[@joepeach997]

What a sweet RV! Like the saying goes, "You get what you pay for" (not always, lol, but it is true here). If you budget allows, paying a bit more over an adequate RV can make the difference of enjoying every trip quite a bit more. Just wondering, could it be beefed up a little more for winter use at the factory or dealer?

[@julperkamoze9828]

Maybe its something I commented before, but when you put a projector against a window, or the screen is just in front of a window, you have to put a grey one to see it better. Grey screens are made to help maintain black levels in brighter rooms, or help black levels with low contrast projectors, so yes, it helps for getting better contrast when there is a more brighter ambient.

[@NickLevine-e4s]

Super excited for this unit! It checks all our boxes especially with the 'sofa bed' option! Just confirming, is the only exterior storages the pass through? I don't see a lot of options for more, but even a single compartment for legos and such would be a great option when it gets to production.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Correct on the exterior storage. That's common among most travel trailers. Thankfully this is an extra large drop-frame compartment

[@htschultz]

Thanks for sharing Josh--it's a beautiful trailer and I'm delighted to see Brinkley move down-market with this 1/2-ton towable trailer, ala Alliance Delta 6 months or so ago (the more competition, the better for consumers). Unfortunately this one doesn't work for me due to weight (our TV has a max capacity of just 7700#). Other than that, love the 2 AC units, design innovations throughout, anti-sway tech is cool, appreciate the upgraded equalizer, but for me, the Hankooks (I'd immediately swap them out for Goodyears) and leaf spring suspension are both big misses (why no torsion?). And while we're at it, while I suspect most consumers will appreciate the versatility of the desk/table arrangement, we're OG and still prefer a traditional dinette, so we can eat ACROSS from one another and see/talk to each other more easily than being next to one another. It's also easier (for us at least) to play games, cards, etc.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It was definitely heavier than I expected. I think I talked about that in the video. They opt'd to step up everything like the chassis and running gear a step above what would be commonly found though which I also respect

[@donnajoyce5074]

That office setup/dinette is genious! It's exactly what i want because I have a two monitor setup for work. I'd even do 3 monitors if I could. I need screen real estate! And the higher shelf for monitors is fine. It would probably be at the sme levels as my monitors right now. Needs a cuddle compliant couch though!

[@BrinkleyRV]

[@charlesklaus6290]

Thanks Josh for another great review! By the numbers you put up I'm seeing about 9,600 lbs loaded? That's no problem for me with an F350 but more than I can see towing with most 1/2 ton trucks. Is there a hide a bed option? We occasionally have a guest or 2. So excited Brinkley is finally making a TT under 30'! Thanks again!

[@charlesklaus6290]

I see you answered my sofa question! I wrote too soon!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It 100% depends on the truck and circumstance. A 3/4 ton would likely be a solid fit most of the time but there are plenty of half-tons that would handle it fine in many scenarios What is "half ton towable" where I live and half-ton towable in mountains are two different things for instance

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

There is a hide-a-bed option. It'll change to cloth-touch like a model z hide-a-bed. I mention that briefly but in a 40min video it's easy to miss

Love the setup except for the table top setup. We looked at a pull out table top setup in another brand where the table was stored behind a drop down drawer front. The table pulled out and then a half flipped to create a full table top. It was nice to store the table when not in use and to be able to get to the storage below easier.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Sounds like maybe a cougar setup. This is a little different

[@Snowman119]

@ Correct. 260MLE. Like that type of setup better. Fold and out of the way.

[@CheriL25]

If they installed a ceiling mounted hanging rod for clothes into the pantry, it would add optional full-length closet space. Also, a flip-up side to the kitchen counter, and I agree, it needs dedicated wastebasket area under the sink. But this one is almost perfect.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Great concept model. The other guys should be looking at this. Love the decor tone. Not sure on the projection tv. Like the concept but don't want to share with neighbors at night and iffy viewing outside in bright conditions. Foot well under bed storage - great idea. Pull out dinette - great space saver. Dishwasher ready - eh. Put the trash pullout there and provide more/different drawers where the trash pull out is. Dresser rework to upper hanging space - sure. Ceiling height, ac, fans - yes. TPS monitor should be standard - safety first.

I really like this RV we have a 39’ open range roamer and we’ve been wanting to go smaller great camper hoping the price is not out of sight like so many RV s today

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Without question it'll be one of the more expensive 30ft models out there but that's what it takes to have all the extra features and heavier build you get with one of these

[@kayleen9110]

Anyway,love the camper..only thing is..not much seating?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Really made for couple's. Not made with a lot of guests in mind. i'm sure they'll have others

[@lisaturner4741]

Really nice! Dont care for the projector idea..rather have tv..but otherwise..great!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thankfully with that big open counter across from the theater seat you could place a HUGE tv as desired

[@lisaturner4741]

@JoshtheRVNerd Very true...just what I was thinking!! 😊👍

[@Pheas100]

Nice Trailer! I think I would prefer to sacrifice the storage next to the recliners for a larger sofa option similar to the Alliance 252RL… Josh, how is the floor constructed? Wood or composite? Thanks!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Same as the Z Air - Azdel/composite/aluminum

I am shopping for a 5th wheel and not a travel trailer, but if I was shopping for a trailer, this would be it! If I had to nitpick, I'd ask for a little more factory solar, I feel like they can throw a second panel there pretty easily. Couldn't get a clear look inside the freezer compartment of that fridge, did it have any shelving or racks or was it just a giant hole to throw things into?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Bottom chest. Sliding shelf above

[@kayleen9110]

Very nice! Price??

[@BrinkleyRV]

Preliminary MSRP is $69,505

[@Erin-Thor]

@@BrinkleyRV- You hit a home run on this! That dinette/desk/TV with HDMI is PERFECTION!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Our folks at www.bishs.com/rv-search?brand=MODEL+I&stocknumber=265 can get you a discounted sale figure below the 69k msrp btw

[@MrAnubus27]

Uncle J in the house!!!!!! Nice job. Love this presentation. I have been eyeballing the OutdoorsRV backcountry 20BD in Titanium. Now this has me curious. Do we know is this model a 2 season or 3 season?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

This is 0-100 degree rated. All the same efforts to insulate/heat you'd find in their fifth wheels exist here

[@alars2847]

I really like third trailer! My only issue is the slide out dinette table. I think it only needs to be half the size so that it will slide all the way into the counter.

[@d1ja6]

I was thinking they should have just made that cabinet the same depth as the rest of the cabinets. Then the table could slide all the way in. That would also provide better access to the space underneath.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I can so it going either way. I don't mind it as-is so that it creates extra counter space and open as needed

[@FredRoeder-p2p]

Perfect....except I need a regular TV and a retractable shower door

[@ShawnPatterson402]

This is perhaps the nicest trailer I have seen yet that slips in just under 30 feet (right where I am with our Cougar 26RBS--perfect max length for our travel needs which includes a lot of government parks that often have smaller sites)..could well see one of these in my future. One question...It has solar on the roof, but is there a zamp plug somewhere else on the trailer to be able to plug in portable solar panels? We have a few of our favorite off grid camp spots that are in the shade, so I use a couple of portable panels that I can place away from the trailer such that they get some direct sun. Great review. Will be having a close look at this model once it starts hitting dealerships.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah I agree. It's crazy forward thinking and modern vs most of the marketplace I don't recall seeing a portable solar plug.. though those panels can usually hook directly up to the batteries rather than run thru a plug

[@donhaas8547]

I really like this trailer. Does Brinkley plan on any other half-ton floor plans? I really need the bathroom next to the bedroom.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

of course. This is just the first of the Model I series in the same way the 3100 was the first of the Z series

[@jamesstever8335]

Great smaller size alternative. The aluminum may turn out to be a real winner.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I'm VERY curious to see how that performs

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Kind of you to say but.. no thanks lol Never cared for politics

[@didibolter9362]

@@JoshtheRVNerd Just think Uncle Josh, if you were President you could make us all have a 5th wheel! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@NG-fg6qf]

Love this trailer. No notes. All the little extras give the sense that the manufacturer isn't nickel and diming the buyer on a purchase equivalent to the median American annual salary.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

wow nice!

[@rustyoak8860]

Does the rack and pinion slide mean you can sit in the recliners when closed? If you couldn't get to the bed, could you just recline the seats and take a nap there? I do love these Brinkley's RVs!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

No. It means you cannot as it turns out

[@mikehorner3488]

Brinkley does it again! (Knocks it out of the park) this is awesome for what it is! However... 😊 needs to hold more fresh water & I too don't really get the pull out/slide table. Overall fantastic design tho! Now hopefully Brinkley is working on a pull behind type toy hauler in the 32-36 ft range with 100-150 fresh tank, Pull down bunk in the rear. OH... the projector tv.... 🤯

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I'll be very curious to see what else happens with the Model I lineup

[@paulhiebert1887]

It's not just a bathroom sink. It's also a baby's personal bathtub!!! I really like this one...but it would be great if they offered a bedroom door to make an easy stealth mode overnight travel stop possible.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It seriously could be a baby bath. It's big enough The bedroom door idea is cool but would eat into that MONSTER window

[@seaphor665]

I bought a 2018 Bullet and the propane line goes all the way down the bottom of the frame to the back, so no where to put a jack on the frame and I've been told NOT to jack up the rv via the axle- is that true and any suggestions?
