2026 Brinkley Model Z 2700 Luxury Fifth Wheel Review | Compact Comfort & Smart Design

Brinkley Model Z luxury fifth wheel RV side profile showcasing sleek white and charcoal exterior, aerodynamic front cap, dual awnings, and high-end design details for premium modern camping.

Overview & Concept


The Brinkley Model Z 2700 turns the traditional idea of RV luxury on its head. At just 30 feet tip-to-tail, it delivers the same rear-kitchen and mega-living-room experience found in Brinkley’s 40-foot Model G toy haulers.

Engineered for park-hopping couples, this lightweight fifth wheel proves you don’t need size to travel in style.

Built with the same DNA as its larger siblings, the 2700 offers luxury finishes, exceptional storage, and high-end construction inside a nimble frame that fits into state and national parks with ease.

Final Thoughts

Living & Entertainment


Step inside, and you’ll understand why this layout has become undeniably popular. The living room features quad power recliners facing a 65-inch smart TV with hidden storage above and below.

A space heater fireplace adds warmth, while large panoramic windows bring in natural light and campsite views.

Brinkley Model Z fifth wheel multifunctional desk and dining space featuring a pull-out table with modern black metal legs, folding chairs, and a minimalist workspace under large windows.

The multi-function dinette is a clever touch — it slides, extends, and folds to serve as a workstation, two-person table, or even a cozy pet den below.

Every window includes blackout night shades with radiant foil backers and day shades for customizable light control.

Hidden control panels and magnet holdbacks keep the interior sleek and clutter-free — a Brinkley signature aesthetic that blend form and function.

  • Quad power recliners with direct sightline to a 65″ smart TV
  • Hidden storage above and below the TV + electric fireplace heater
  • Panoramic campsite windows; blackout night shades with radiant foil + day shades on opening windows
  • Multi-function dinette: slides/extends/folds for dining, dual-monitor work, or a cozy pet den below
  • Clean look with concealed control panels and magnet door holdbacks
  • Main-cabin comfort: dedicated 18K BTU Furion Chill Cube A/C + XL rain-sensing vent fan

Kitchen & Storage


Brinkley Model Z fifth wheel kitchen featuring modern cabinetry, dual windows for natural light, pendant lighting, stainless steel appliances, and a central island with fruit bowl décor for a residential feel.

Brinkley is known for building real residential kitchens — and the 2700 delivers. Its rear kitchen mirrors the Model G 3950’s famous layout, featuring:

  • Solid-surface countertops throughout
  • 16 cu. ft. 12-volt compressor refrigerator with a mirror-finish front
  • Double trash can drawer for trash and recycling
  • Removable pet dish drawer below the cabinetry
  • Flip-up counter extension with a built-in sensor that prevents slide damage
  • Soft-close, dovetail drawers and pocket-screwed cabinets
  • Rain-sensing XL vent fan and dish-towel bar (yes, finally standard!)

All the storage is deliberate with drawers below, cabinets above, and a pantry — maximized efficiency, usability, and visibility.



This kitchen is the perfect blend of luxury and practical design for those who enjoy cooking on the road, with your furry friend next to your feet!

Bathroom Design


Compact yet thoughtfully engineered, the bath features a one-piece fiberglass shower with exceptional headroom (79.5 inches in the upper deck).

You get a porcelain foot-flush toilet, solid-surface countertops, and ample linen storage without sacrificing walk-space.

Plumbing details matter here too — the Brinkley team uses PEX-on-PEX brass connections, individual shut-off valves, and smart angled designs that keep pass-through storage unobstructed. Magnetic door holdbacks keep everything secure in transit.

  • One-piece fiberglass shower (extra tall) with dedicated lighting (no leaky skylight)
  • Porcelain foot-flush toilet; platform/angle keeps pass-through clear and adds a side heat duct (not in the floor)
  • Solid-surface vanity with thoughtful linen storage depth (easy reach)
  • PEX-on-PEX brass fittings with individual shut-off valves for hassle-free maintenance
  • Proper pre-manufactured flex lines for slide-mounted sink (no crimped hack-jobs)
  • XL vent fan for fast moisture evacuation; magnetic door holdbacks for travel

Bedroom Suite


The north-south true queen bed (60 × 80 in.) offers easy side access and full functionality even with slides closed. It features a closet slide, motion-sensor night lighting, and built-in CPAP-friendly nightstands with power outlets and USB ports.

Brinkley Model Z bedroom featuring a 60” x 80” true queen bed with overhead storage, nightstands on both sides, and soft lighting for a residential, hotel-style comfort feel.

The closet rod itself is a light fixture — a signature Brinkley touch that turns organization into illumination. Overhead storage is fully enclosed, and a standard bedroom smart TV comes factory-installed — a rarity in a non-slide bedroom model.

  • True 60×80 queen (north–south) usable with slides closed
  • CPAP-friendly nightstands with household outlets + USB at both sides
  • Closet slide with excellent drawer/cab space; closet rod doubles as the light
  • Motion-sensing toe-kick light—no blinding overheads during night trips
  • Standard bedroom smart TV (rare without a bed slide)
  • Fully enclosed overheads; no “ankle-breaker” step around the bed
  • Single, discreet floor heat duct (only spot you’ll see one in the coach)

Road Mode & Usability


In road mode, the Brinkley Z 2700 requires a quick setup step — remove one of the recliners and store it under the dinette before closing the slide.

When closed, access to the fridge requires partially opening the campside slide — but the layout still keeps most essentials reachable for quick travel stops.

A thoughtful balance of form and function makes this coach a true “couple’s cruiser.”

Who is the 2700 For


The Brinkley Model Z 2700 is built for couples who want it all — luxury finishes, residential comfort, and park-friendly size. It’s ideal for:

  • Extended-stay travelers who want comfort without a massive rig
  • Park-hoppers who frequent state and national campgrounds
  • Remote workers and weekend warriors who value quiet, spacious interiors
  • First-time fifth wheel buyers ready to step into a true luxury brand

If you want a bit more length and washer/dryer prep, Brinkley’s Z 3200 offers just that — but for many, the 2700 hits the sweet spot of size, price, and premium design.

Frequently Asked Questions: Brinkley Model Z 2700 Fifth Wheel


1. How long is the Brinkley Model Z 2700?

The Model Z 2700 measures approximately 30 feet tip-to-tail, making it one of the most compact luxury fifth wheels on the market—perfect for national-park and state-park camping.

2. What is the difference between the Model Z 2700 and the Model Z 3200?

Both share the same rear-kitchen and living-room design, but the Z 3200 adds:

  • A king-bed slide instead of a queen
  • Washer/dryer prep in the front wardrobe
  • Slightly more length, weight, and cost

If you want to stay under 30 feet, the Z 2700 is the better fit.

3. What kind of truck do I need to tow the Z 2700?

Fully loaded, the Brinkley Z 2700 has a GVWR around 15,000 lb and an estimated loaded pin weight near 2,400 lb.
You’ll need at least a ¾-ton truck (2500/250) with sufficient payload and rear-axle capacity. Always verify with your specific truck’s tow ratings.

4. Is the Z 2700 a four-season RV?

Yes. Brinkley uses fully enclosed and heated underbellies, insulated tanks, dual A/Cs, and heated pass-through storage. The model’s solid-surface countertops and brass plumbing fittings also help resist cold-weather fatigue—making it an all-season coach.

5. Can I work remotely in the Z 2700?

Absolutely. The multi-function dinette doubles as a spacious workstation, and the 2700’s robust 12-volt system with solar prep and dual A/Cs keeps devices charged and comfortable anywhere you park.

6. What is the price of the Brinkley Z 2700?

For Brinkley RVs, the advertised price must match their MSRP, meaning dealers must display this price even if they can offer a lower one. Pricing varies by dealer and options, but Bish’s RV offers transparent, no-hidden-fee pricing — contact us directly for current discounts and availability.
