  • As one of the "newer kids on the block" there have been a lot of questions as to how Brinkley RV makes their Model G fifth wheel toy haulers. I was granted access behind the scenes & able to showcase a LOT of different ways Brinkley goes about construction their RVs
    I know this video is LONG, but I also know if I were going to spend that kind of money on an RV, then I'd also want to know exactly what I was getting for my money and would want all the details I could possibly get myself!

    Thanks Josh.

  • @texillini1
    @texillini1 Před měsícem +3

    1) One word…… QUALITY!
    2) Thank you Brinkley for allowing Josh to make this video. By doing so you are boldly and proudly showing your quality for prospective buyers.
    3) Thank you Josh for your time and efforts in producing this project. It’s easy to see that it took a lot of work.
    4) To answer your earlier question. YES! I would love to see full in depth videos from every manufacturer on how they build their RV’s. I found this to be very interesting and informative. These videos puts the manufacturers in the spotlight. Those who are confident in theirs builds should not have any trouble with you filming the tour. Those who hesitate or say no…. Well, that there alone should speak loudly of theirs quality, or should I say, lack of and therefore perhaps the consumer should stay clear of purchasing.
    5) Josh, you always say that you want people to make their second purchase the first time around. Seems to me, you will save money in the long run following your advice. After watching this video showing their quality; for those who really want to buy and be in this lifestyle, I’d say….. if you buy a Brinkley, it’s one and done. Buy once, you buy for a lifetime. Worth the money spent.
    6) Again, Thank you Josh and thank you Brinkley. You are definitely on my potential buy list.

    Hey Uncle Josh, I hope you're having a great day! I'm glad that you have done a factory tour of Brinkley model G toy haulers are made from the steel frame to the finished product! I'm glad that you took us to each station1 through 40 or 42 an I have learned a lot from this video! When you was showing them putting on the roof membrane on an how they do the glue was the right way to do that step! I use to do commercial roofing, an I done a lot of rubber roofs! That is how we done the rubber roofs,we would roll the glue out onto the roof an we put glue onto the rubber roof material then we would slowly roll it out, then once we had it completely done we took a big roller and went back over the roof then we would go an use the rubber flashing on all the pipes an the AC curbs then we used a special sealant on all the seams! I'm going to go back and find all your factory tours that you have done and compare them to the Brinkley factory tour! Thank you Uncle Josh for showing us this video on the Brinkley factory tour and giving us all the steps that they do! Your number one fan and friend Leonard from North Carolina!!! #NERDHERD preferred way!!😎😄😃😀😎💪🤘🐒🐶🐕🐺🐱🐈🐅🦁🐻🐨🐼🐉🐲🐢😎

    Thanks, Bish’s RV for supporting Josh in making this video.
    I saw lots of things I liked as Josh moved through the factory.
    I was pretty sure that our toy hauler was going to be a Brinkley. Nothing I saw in this video made me question that. If anything, it made me more comfortable with that choice.

    Hey Josh! Thank you for this ultra-detailed factory tour. Your usual attention to detail is unmatched. In 20 chapters, Brinkley has over 70 glows (things they do well), but as you said, they're always looking to improve, so I wanted to point out a grow. At 57:26, it may be better to have the worker use an extendable grab hook to secure the red hooks to the trusses. Yes, you pointed out he's not stepping on the paneling, which would be worse, but by their exacting standards, every little bit helps. Not having to venture onto the roof at any point is better than the chance of stumbling and damaging the finished roof unit. Right?

    Based on your video and the shared information,is it safe to say that if all manufacturers built and checked their various RV models,there may not be the problems that have come to light with certain brand RVs,and consumer outcry to the various issues experienced by some customers,which certainly is not needed in the industry

I'm waiting for Brinkley to engineer a smallish class C. We've already looked at a Brinkley and LOVED it. But, don't want to drive a pick-up and drag behind. It seems to me that the eastern half of the US is totally ignored by the RV industry...

    Josh, when did you record this video, especially the jigalator 9k portion?
    I ask because I toured the Model G Plant on April 24th and my new Model G4000 #872 was on the jigaltor 9k that day.
    Also, I thoroughly enjoyed your video! Thanks to both you and Brinkley RV.

    Great video Josh.
    In my view Brinkley is like a huge slap across the face of much of the RV industry that keeps building units of poor quality. Are Brinkley’s more expensive? Yes. But it’s not like a quality RV is a million dollars or something insane. And with their units incorporating as standard so many of the “upgrades” a lot of us install in our RVs the true price gap is even less.
    Just take the roof alone with that 25 year sealant. Why the rest of the industry insists on using a sealant that has to be inspected every 90 days is just utterly insane. I bet if we made senior execs at these companies personally inspect the roof of an RV they own every 90 days including in the dead of winter they’d do something about it. Instead we get excuse after excuse about how it’s too expensive or too hard. What BS.
    And as long and comprehensive and totally awesome as this video is you don’t even cover everything! Like the construction of their drawers. Most RVs even high end diesel pushers have drawers that are butt jointed and stapled with thin wood. It’s literally the weakest possible joint that could be done and the thin drawer bottoms often start coming out. But bit Brinkley. They use dovetail joints and thicker woods making their drawers. It’s exactly what you want for a drawer loaded up with pots and pans rolling down the road. And Brinkley is doing it.

    • @mrsteve4569
      @mrsteve4569 Před měsícem

      The 2900 is close to the floorplan we want. We want to stay at, preferably below, 30’, and we don’t want opposing slides. From various factory tours for various manufacturers, it’s hard to beat these guys. For us, build quality will override some of our wants, but if we can get both, then it’s a big win.
      Currently,on our radar is the Arctic Fox 27-5L and the Grand Design 270BN.

When I turn it off it does run the fan as to cool it, I think for like 30 seconds. The other 2 work great. Is there a reset or something i can check? Thanks guys

    Thanks Josh and Brinkley!! I really enjoy the factory tours, so much so that I've got three scheduled for next month. I will be touring Brinkley, Alliance, and the Rockwood/Flagstaff factories. I've pretty much made up my mind that my next trailer will be a Brinkley, but the tours will hopefully put the icing on the cake. With the current kerfuffle over fifth wheel frame failure, I was wondering if Brinkley also uses lag screws horizontally into the side walls and if they fill all of the holes there too?

I'm hoping to get a firsthand knowledge of each of their manufacturing processes that maybe can't be gained by watching someone else's video. I own a Rockwood Mini Lite now and I'm happy with the quality but feel the bones of the camper aren't what a Brinkley is. If I didn't want to expand our camping time, both in length and number of times camping per year, I would not be selling my current one.

    Excellent video Josh! Thank you. I watched the entire video with the hope of hearing that a Brinkley travel trailer toy hauler is in the works. Sadly that didn’t happen.
    Brinkley, can you tell me if a travel trailer Model G is coming anytime soon? Unfortunately the fifth wheel Model G is out of the reach of my budget and instead of lowering our standards and settling for a lesser fifth wheel toy hauler, we will happily wait for a Brinkley travel trailer that fits our needs. I can only afford one or the other. We plan on making our purchase by the end of this year. We need a travel trailer toy hauler that will carry my 1,240 lb. three wheel Harley-Davidson and 100 lb. mattress for Happi-Jack and still maintain a separate (not open) garage with a small half bath. I’ve seen several runner ups lately with 2000 lb garage CCC that meet the bill, but they don’t have the Brinkley quality that we want. My fingers are crossed while I wait for your answer. Thank you.👍🏼😎
