BrinkleyModel R

The Model R is a full-profile fifth wheel. Its first floorplan places the living room at the front and the bedroom at the rear, with residential-style appliances and storage throughout. It adds layout choices to Brinkley’s lineup alongside the Model Z and Model G.

The Model R moves into the full-profile fifth-wheel segment, with an emphasis on more interior headroom and storage space. It currently has one floorplan: the 3710, with a front living room and rear bedroom. Brinkley specifies 86 inches of ceiling height in the front living area, with storage behind the entertainment center and in the exterior basement compartments.

Air conditioning is a key difference. The R uses an under-mounted split system designed for vehicle use, freeing roof space for its taller interior. Brinkley describes quieter cooling in the sleeping area. Current Model Z builds discussed with Brinkley use rooftop Chill Cube equipment; the arrangement depends on the floorplan and build date. Listen to both systems during a walkthrough and check airflow in the rooms you use most.

The R preview lists independent suspension, disc brakes, solar and an inverter. It also brings substantial size and weight: 41 feet 4 inches long, with a 23,500-pound GVWR. Compare the Z’s actual weight ratings, included equipment, configured price and your tow vehicle’s capacity. The better fit depends on your layout, budget and travel plans.

The first Model R has the living room at the front, the kitchen in the middle, and the bedroom at the rear. Storage includes space behind the front entertainment center, bedroom closets, and exterior compartments. Review the floorplan and walk through the unit to check how the layout and storage fit your daily routine.

Yes. Moving the AC equipment below the coach allows more room for interior ceiling and slide-opening heights. Brinkley specifies 86 inches of ceiling height in the front living area of the preview model.

Interior headroom and overall travel height are separate measurements. Confirm the finished RV’s exterior height when planning routes and clearances.

The Model R uses an undermounted split air-conditioning system in a protected housing. Brinkley identifies it as a vehicle-oriented system with flexible refrigerant hoses and sealed connections intended to accommodate road movement.

For ownership planning, ask about access for maintenance and where the system can be serviced, along with its cooling performance.

Brinkley reports cooling a test unit’s interior from 118°F to about 75°F in 90 minutes. The outdoor temperature, sun exposure, humidity, and full test procedure have not been provided to us.

That result is a reference point, not a prediction for every campsite. If you plan to camp in extreme heat, ask about performance under conditions similar to your destination.

Brinkley describes the system as quiet outside, including at higher fan settings. We don’t have a documented sound measurement with enough detail to compare it fairly with other systems.

Listen beside the RV and near the outdoor seating area with the AC running at different speeds. Recordings taken close to the equipment may sound different from what you hear at a campsite.

Brinkley describes low AC noise in the bedroom, but we don’t have a measured interior sound level to share. During a walkthrough, listen from the bed with the system running at different fan settings. Check both the sound and the temperature where you will sleep.

Brinkley lists MORryde independent suspension with disc brakes and shock absorbers as standard Model R equipment. Confirm that equipment on your unit’s final build sheet and ask the delivery team to review its maintenance requirements.

The truck and RV need to be evaluated together. Use the specific RV’s certified weight ratings and cargo label, and have your truck and hitch ratings reviewed before committing to a purchase.

The comparison section provides preview specifications as a starting point. Confirm the figures for the finished unit and the load you intend to carry, rather than relying on another model’s ratings or a general truck recommendation.

Brinkley identifies 400 watts of solar, a Victron inverter system, an onboard battery, generator prep, Firefly controls, and Victron monitoring as part of the planned equipment. Verify the final package on the unit you are considering.

Generator prep is provision for a generator, not an installed generator. We do not have a verified battery-runtime figure for the AC. If you plan to camp without hookups, ask for an assessment of the installed system against the appliances you want to run.

Brinkley identifies the washer/dryer as an option. We have conflicting information about whether the dishwasher is standard or optional, so its inclusion needs to be verified for the unit you choose.

Request an itemized equipment list with your quote. Have the dealer distinguish installed appliances from hookups or prep so you know what is included in the price.

Brinkley plans a gradual start on a production line shared with the Model G. Initial production will be limited while the team moves from pilot builds into regular production.

For buyers, that means availability may vary by dealer allocation and build schedule. Ask for the status of your specific order and complete a delivery inspection when it arrives.

Brinkley’s initial production target is the week of November 9, with a limited first run allocated across retail orders and show needs. Confirm the latest production schedule with the dealer.

Your delivery timing will depend on your order, allocation, build completion, and transport. Ask for an expected arrival date for your specific RV before arranging travel.

Brinkley plans a rear-kitchen layout next, with an April production target following the initial November launch. A front-bath layout is a possibility for the following fall.

These are development targets, and the designs and timing may change. If one of those layouts is essential to your purchase, confirm its availability before making plans around it.

Brinkley has not included a side deck in its current Model R plans. The side-deck design it has discussed is for the Model G. If a patio is a priority, compare the specific floorplans that offer it.

We do not have a confirmed Model R floorplan under 35 feet or without slides to share. Additional layouts are planned, but their details should not be assumed. If length or slideouts determine where you can camp, base your decision on a confirmed floorplan.

The confirmed product name for this page is Model R. We do not have a verified separate product or option package called the PRO Line. Check the exact model and package names on any quote you receive.

Request an itemized quote for the specific unit and options you want. Ask which equipment is included and which taxes, fees, or other charges are additional so you can compare the total purchase cost.

The pricing section is a starting point for exploring options and requesting current numbers from the team.
