Shortly after leaving the army in 1972 Rosie and I started kicking around the idea of camping. Soon after getting back on our feet financially working 7-day weeks and long hours we bought a tent camper and headed around the country. 50 plus years later and now on our eighth fifth wheel we are still on the road at least six months a year. I like to busk and hit jam sessions and open mics, so it really has been good. We currently own a Z3100 by Brinkley and love it. Enjoy your travel and no regrets! Burlington Bill busking on the road and on my you tube music site!
I think you will enjoy it for a long time, but as stated by other families when your children want to get involved in a more organized school programs. It becomes an issue especially if you have gifted children that could lead to them College Scholarships they are not privy too in a home schooled environment, while constantly moving. Don’t get me wrong. We are an older couple with 7 children and soon to be 9 grandchildren As retirement approaches we will transition to full time RVing. It’s going to be great to be able to spend 6-8 weeks visiting family spread out from Texas to Florida to Alabama to Kentucky and boondocking in the West
It was our pleasure, thank YOU for showing it off 😊 We hope your fulltime adventures take you to amazing places together and we hope we see you down the road again soon!
Congratulations on starting your next adventure. My wife and I retired in May of 2022, bought an Airstream and started traveling in June. We bought our Brinkley last July and love it. Brinkley RV is a great company and their customer service is second to none. Enjoy your travels with the kiddos and stay safe.
Congrats! Wish you the best on your journey. We just started full timing a few months ago. It was a toss up for the Brinkley or the 2 bedroom model we ended up going with.
Looking forward to your CZcams channel. My husband & I are not full time yet. We travel in our Tiffin Zephyr , but love the Brinkley. We watch Wild RV Life, with Victoria & Craig who also have a Brinkley. Also, we are from Houston too, well The Woodlands. Safe Travels!
Hi we loved this video! We are always in amazement about how large the RVs are in America they are about the size of a small apartment here in England 😂. Our motorhome would like tiny next to that RVs. We loved the tour and video. Thank you for showing us around. All the best Chelsea and Mike 😊
What are the AK axles and disk brakes you mention? Would love to get more information on what you feel is a superior axle and brake set up. I believe Brinkley should offer at least a disc brake upgrade to those that want it right from the factory. This is a big heavy rig that deserves the best suspension possible for full-time rv owners.
Most fifth wheels come standard with 7k axles and drum brakes. If you upgrade from the factory to 8k axles it also comes with disc brakes and the new capacity will reflect on the trailer's weight rating. Thanks for watching!
Yep, @rvyourway is spot on. We chose to upgrade from 7K to 8K axles which also included an upgrade to disc brakes. With a rig this size we can use all the stopping power we can get!
Thanks for the house tour, always neat seeing how. & why people buy what they buy and how they make it their own. That being said, is that a Giant Schnauzer? We aren't full time yet, we hope to do so sooner rather then later.
Beautiful rig. Just to big for the two of us. We have a Torque T26 travel trailer and did purchase the patio tent before they were discontinued. We still have it and love it. Good to hear they are looking to be back in stock. Happy travels!
Please make sure that you weigh your fifth wheel and truck at a minimum to make sure that you’re running the correct tire pressure. And just to make sure you don’t have too much weight on any axle including your pin weight. To make it easier to power reel your cord in use a clean rag or cotton towel to keep the cord clean as it goes in as a dirty cord will make it bind and hard on the motor.
Brinkley is great about customer feedback and people weren’t wild about the comfort of the u-couch. There’s a new L-shaped option coming in the 2025s. We prefer the U simply because there are so many of us, but the new sofa looks amazing!!

@@rvyourway What is a clam?
@@sashabenoit1518 Quick-set Clam is a pop-up tent screen room. They are really easy to setup, just takes a couple minutes. We love ours!

He’s a Bouvier Des Flandres but he gets mistaken for a giant schnauzer all the time! 😂

It's beautiful for sure 😊 The patio tent is great!

Great tips!
We have seen this floorplan but wondered how the couch area would work living in it fulltime. Great tour!
Brinkley is great about customer feedback and people weren’t wild about the comfort of the u-couch. There’s a new L-shaped option coming in the 2025s. We prefer the U simply because there are so many of us, but the new sofa looks amazing!!
Being a family of 6 I didn't see a washer/dryer
It’s in the master bedroom! I’ll post a more in-depth tour on our channel so people can see the nitty gritty of where all our stuff goes 🤪
