Rosie and I have had our Z-3100 over a year now. We have had it to Alaska and spent the winter off grid in Arizona. We have had a few issues and the fine people at Brinkley have taken care of us. We have done a bunch of modifications. I installed drawers in the cabinet to the right of the stove as well as drawers where they put the garbage cans. We have added shelves to the pantry and shelves in the bedroom closet. Outside I put four Battleborn batteries and a 3,000-watt inverter. On the roof I put and extra 370-watt solar panel. All in all, we are very impressed with Brinkley, and we have had a lot of campers in our 53 years together. Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on you-tube.
Sounds like you’ve added a lot of great mods! Glad you haven’t had too many problems with it. That’s good to know!
@@campinwiththeconfers Rosie and I had a Solitude by Grand Design. We were fighting so many issues and then when Winnebago took over and some key people left the support ended. The frame flex problem was it for us. We are in our mid-seventies and want to enjoy our travel. I don't think the price is that bad. Burlington Bill busking on the road and You tube.
@@burlingtonbill4687 interesting. The Solitude is the other model we are considering. We currently have a Reflection and haven’t really had many problems with it. And what we have had GD helped us out with. But we need something a little bigger. Our Reflection is 29 ft and only has one slide.
@@campinwiththeconfers Rosie and I had a Reflection before the Solitude. We toured the plant and met all the owners at the time. We had pretty good luck with the unit and good backing from Micah and some of the others. The frame flex became a nightmare for GD. One bright light would be a young man named Austin Clark. Son of one of the owners Don Clark. He seems to really care. Good luck!
This is like the sixth Z3100 walk thru I've seen and you guys have showed me several, not just a couple, but several things I had not seen yet. Thanks again!
I’m glad we could help you out. Thanks for watching.

Toni and I had a chance to go through one of these at a dealer show in San Diego and we fell in love with this 5th wheel. The only thing I wish they had was an option to take that back wall sofa out and make that a desk for a workspace. Starting to wish I had bought a 1 ton truck after seeing this rig.
We are also in love with it. I think we are going to wait a year and see how they shake out. We knew when we upgraded the truck to go big so we would be ready when our full time camper came into our lives. This might just be it.
Nice detailed walkthrough guys! I really like the interconnected grey tanks and remote dump switches…
Yes we love those features too! It’s such a nice rig! Thanks for watching! Safe travels - Mike and Shelley
Outside: love the power wet bay and the 65 foot included retractable drinking use. Inside: love the frameless windows, bright colors, and the televator. Nice looking whip but currently out of our price range. Great video guys!
Yeah I think the only thing we don’t like about it is the price!
We are ordering our Z3400 with the rear patio next month.
Ahhh that’s a nice one! Love that outdoor kitchen area! Thanks for sharing!
Catching up on our CZcams guys nice rig we didn’t get the chance to do a walk thru at the glampout .Def love all the upgrades love the big cabinets 24:04 and you know I like the light cabinetry great video guys!
Thank you for watching. We love this rig. This is the second time we have been able to do a walk through. It’s definitely on the short list for our next rv.
Nice video! We really like the Brinkley!!
We agree. Its in the top 2 for our upgrade.
So we almost pulled the trigger on a z3100 a few weeks ago. They are such nice 5th wheels. Just could not see spending that money at this point in our lives. Awesome rigs though. One day we will have one.
Yeah the price is a bit much, plus we are concerned with them being a new company. Right now the plan is to hold out for two more years, see how the rig holds up, customer service etc then we will consider again. It sure is pretty though, and so functional!
How much are they…not msrp but what you would actually expect to pay?
It's a top contender for us but there's definitely room for improvement.
Azdel on interior as well, not just exterior.
6 point hydraulic auto leveling, not 4 point electric.
Bench seat in shower.
Dexter torsion axles or independent suspension.
Full body paint.
Better 5th wheel hitch
Audio system or radio with outdoor speakers, didn't see that, no sound bar?
Aluminum framed roof, not wood and use real plywood not tpo or whatever they use.
But again, I'm sure they'll improve, great unit.
Agree. They all have room for improvement but it’s a pretty nice unit. We are going to wait a year or two and see how the costumer service and improvements go.
Sound was not great on the outdoor component. Is music playing in the background? I kept having to go up and down with the volume which I rarely have had to deal with online.
Enjoy that beautiful Brinkley!
Yeah sorry about the audio. We really appreciate the feedback though! It really helps us! - Mike and Shelley
The music would have been better , if it were gone. I watch this for info ( that i wish to hear clearly ) not for entertainment ( ie music).
I've been hearing about this rig a bit lately. Looks great. Lots of stuff we like about it. Is that a Blue Heeler you have?
Yes! We have a Blue Heeler and a Red Heeler.
Very nice video. Thank u…just fyi..the music in the background is to loud
Thank you for the feedback. We really appreciate it!
Nice 5th wheel but I am happy with my Super-C.
We do love the Super-C too!!
Is the rear storage tall enough to put solar batteries in it? I want to shift that weight off of the pin.
For sure. It has plenty of room for a battery bank.
Bottom Line: While nice looking this, like every other RV, will have issues. I have owned several and regardless of price point, it is only a matter of time.
That’s true. Some more than others. It’s the customer service that makes a difference and Brinkley hasn’t really been around long enough yet to prove themselves.
There’s so much background noise and then you added music too !
I just can’t. ☹️
So sorry you didn’t like the review. We are still learning all the tricks to audio.
Mike & Shelley.
Who thought it was a good idea to have loud banjo music playing over this video? I was really looking forward to learning more about my Z but I can't hear half the stuff he's saying.
I do apologize for the audio. We did not have as much experience when we edited this video and didn’t realize that music volume would be different depending on what you were watching on. We are much better at it now but really appreciate the feedback. That’s how we improve! Hope you are enjoying your Z! Safe travels! - Mike and Shelley
@@campinwiththeconfers fair enough. Thanks for the kind reply!
In this day and age, your viewers expect a better microphone. And please turn off background music while you are talking. Love the Brinkley, however
Thanks for the feedback. We are still trying to get everything tuned in.
Microphone is fine for me, just need absence of music.
Ditch the music. To loud to hear conversations.
Price ??
MSRP is about 100k! You can usually negotiate 25-30% off of that but it is dealer dependent.
Swap to a convection oven is not that simple. Clearance and venting requirements are different, you can easily overheat, and possibly start a fire as Grand Design found out. Should have asked about something basic like an entertainment center with radio, there isn't any. Bench without a cushion? Seriously? Side by side doors on fridge make for the least efficient space utilization, and there is no reason for it. Furion ac's are not known for being quiet. Brinkley is still using the same crappy tank sensors as everyone else instead of upgrading to through the wall type. It's pretty good, but they haven't gotten this camper quit right yet.
You have made some really great points here! I could care less about the convection oven, but the tank sensors seem like that would be an easy fix. Thanks for sharing!
@@campinwiththeconfers I used my bedroom TV about five times in the last 20 years. Used it when I pulled the slides in to keep the camper from flying away in the storm, but I do like my music (inside only), and need the capability independent from a cell phone.
Lots of background noise…
I know. There were tons of people coming and going. Even with the lapel mics it was hard to get good audio.
Was there a party going on while you were doing the walk through? Very hard to understand what you are saying plus that music in the background made it even worse!
There were a lot of people there for the event. I apologize for the background noise.
