The Brinkley Model Ix 20X Travel Trailer is Brinkley’s smallest, lightest rig with a ~24-ft length and 7,400-lb GVWR, designed to be half-ton towable. Highlights include a new Murphy bed, 10.7 cu ft 12V fridge, Furrion Chill Q 18K BTU A/C, painted aluminum laminated walls, and a 60K BTU tankless water heater for true small-coach comfort.
The wait is over, Brinkley delivers a compact travel trailer that you’ve been dreaming about! It’s lighter and easier to tow. The Brinkley Model Ix 20X is the smallest and lightest travel trailer Brinkley has ever built — a design created for half-ton truck owners who still want all the craftsmanship, comfort, and durability this luxury brand is known for.
This isn’t just a scaled-down Model I — it’s a completely re-imagined experience that packs big-rig livability into a lightweight, sub-25-foot floor plan.

Walkthrough: Living area & seating options
A Murphy Bed System That Changes Everything
The Ix 20X keeps the “big Brinkley feel” with campsite-view windows and your choice of buckskin theater seating or an optional hide-a-bed. The fold-away dining desk converts from clear countertop to 2-person dining or solo workstation in seconds — without cutting off the walkway.
Entertainment that swivels
A pivoting TV pairs with Brinkley’s portable Bluetooth speaker (dockable), so movie night can move outside under the stars.
A Smarter Murphy Bed
Brinkley’s all-new Murphy bed system might be the best in the business. Unlike many fold-hinge setups that force you into thin, uncomfortable mattresses, this one uses a solid mattress that simply bends — making it easier to replace or upgrade.
A hidden foot-release switch drops the bed smoothly, revealing full under-sofa storage that remains accessible even when the bed is down. The system is strut-assisted, so even with a thicker residential mattress, one person can easily lift it.
Built-in headboard cubbies and USB/110 V outlets make this a perfect reading or device-charging zone.
Brinkley created a layout that feels open with natural light, and soft-touch textures. This floorplan may have a small footprint but it feels anything but small!
Kitchen Functionality That Feels Residential
Compact Kitchen, Big Functionality
The Ix 20X’s kitchen proves that compact doesn’t mean cramped. It features thermal-foil countertops, pocket-screwed cabinetry, and Brinkley’s signature paper-towel / trash-drawer combo that keeps essentials organized.
You’ll find:
- A three-burner sealed cooktop with range-hood ventilation
- A convection microwave + air fryer combo
- A 10.7 cu ft 12-volt compressor refrigerator
- Dishwasher prep under the sink
- A toe-kick for easy cleanup
Every inch was designed with practical campers in mind — right down to the power outlets tucked inside the pantry.
Real-talk: the cooktop does consume a lot of space but there’s plenty of storage and it provides the three higher-output burners for cooking your favorite homecooked meal!
Bathroom Built for Comfort
Bathroom Comfort Beyond Expectation
The bathroom delivers true big-RV luxury in a compact footprint. There’s a fiberglass one-piece shower, porcelain toilet, and thoughtful storage, including a full linen cabinet and fold-down hooks. The skylight adds crucial headroom, and the XL vent fan keeps air circulating even on those hot and humid days!
Climate, power & construction
Climate control comes courtesy of the Furrion Chill Q 18,000 BTU A/C, one of the most efficient systems in the RV world. It’s quiet, inverter-ready, and able to run on 15-amp household power — perfect for driveway camping or off-grid plug-ins.
- A/C: 18,000 BTU Furrion Chill Q (efficient, quieter “cruise” mode; driveway-friendly on 15A)
- Heat/Water: 60,000 BTU tankless on-demand water heater
- Solar: 200W panel standard
- Chassis/Ride: Hankook radials + Road Armor suspension; enclosed/heated underbelly
- Walls: Painted aluminum laminated over composite core for better long-term appearance and easier bodywork than typical fiberglass
- Serviceability: vacuumed compartments, brass fittings, clean plumbing runs
Construction That Sets a New Benchmark
The Brinkley’s exterior quality shows through:
Painted aluminum laminated sidewalls with composite Azdel substrate
Hankook radial tires with Road Armor suspension
- Heated / enclosed underbelly
- Magna-hold slam-latch baggage doors
Small details like vacuumed plumbing compartments, brass fittings, and zero visible screw heads — just reaffirm Brinkley’s obsession with refinement.
Road Mode Access
You can reach the kitchen, pantry, bath, and desk with the slide in, but the bed isn’t usable while traveling.

Brinkley Model Ix 20X FAQs
Is the Brinkley Model Ix 20X half-ton towable?
Yes. At ~24 ft and 7,400-lb GVWR, it’s commonly half-ton towable when properly equipped (confirm payload, axle, hitch, and tongue weight).
What’s different about the Ix vs the Model I?
The Model I is larger, 50A, solid-surface counters, drop-frame storage; the Ix 20X keeps painted aluminum walls and premium finishes in a smaller, lighter, 30A package.
What size is the Ix 20X fridge?
A 10.7 cu ft 12-V compressor unit — fast-cooling and heat-tolerant compared to absorption fridges.
Can I run the A/C on 15A power?
The Furrion Chill Q 18K is efficient enough for 15A in many scenarios.
Does the Ix 20X have a tankless water heater?
