2026 Brinkley Model Z2670

The 2670 is where the Model Z line starts, and the plan that opens Brinkley’s mid-size luxury to the broadest range of trucks. At about 10,691 pounds dry it is the lightest coach in the line, yet it carries the full Brinkley build: the monotube triple-powder-coated chassis, 7,000-pound tandem axles on 8,000-pound leaf springs, a CURT Touring Coil suspension with ABS, a Helux king pin and the fully enclosed, heated underbelly. The layout is rear-living, with a 72-inch tri-fold sofa, heated wall-hugger theater recliners and a sliding dining table in a single flush-floor slide, mid-coach pass-through storage, a front queen bedroom and full bath, and a campside outdoor kitchen.

Its numbers make it the easiest Model Z to tow. RVUSA lists a published 13,995-pound GVWR against the 10,691-pound dry weight, which leaves a 3,304-pound payload and the lowest dry pin of the line at 1,891 pounds — figures a properly equipped half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck can carry. Two air conditioners (an 18,000-BTU rear Furrion Chill Cube and a 13,500-BTU front unit with a heat pump), a 16-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, a 370-watt solar package with a 50-amp MPPT controller and the class-leading 79.5-inch bed and bath ceiling height all come standard.

At an MSRP of $103,322 it is the most accessible Model Z, and Brinkley dealers commonly sell well under the placard. For a couple who wants Brinkley’s residential interior and automotive exterior in the shortest, lightest, easiest-towing package — with a real rear living room and an outside kitchen — the 2670 is the line’s natural entry.

The Brinkley Model Z is a mid-size luxury fifth wheel and one of the most talked-about new entrants in the segment. The line runs to twelve floorplans for 2026; the eight highest-demand layouts are profiled here in full, and the remaining four are catalogued on the line hub. The 2670 on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 75-gallon fresh tank is roughly 19% of the 3,304-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 2670 with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry pin weight of 1,891 pounds is 18% of this floorplan’s 10,691-pound dry weight. Fifth-wheel pin weight rides in the bed of the truck, so it comes off payload rather than off tow rating — and it rises with the trailer as you load it, not in proportion to what you put over the axles.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 13,995-pound GVWR the 2670 is towing 3,304 pounds more than its 10,691-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 75 gallons of fresh against 90 grey and 45 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Of the 11 Model Z floorplans profiled here, the 2670 is the lightest by GVWR at 13,995 pounds — the entry point to the line and the one most likely to suit a vehicle already at its limit.

Either side of it in the same line: Model Z 2680 matches it exactly at 13,995 lb GVWR.

1 other Model Z plan shares this floorplan’s 13,995 lb GVWR, so the ranking above separates plans that tow to the same ceiling. On a shared chassis the figure that actually differs between them is cargo capacity and where the weight sits, not the rating.

Against the 2670: the Avenue 32RLS is 5 ft longer and sleeps 3 fewer; the Reflection 311BHS is 7 ft longer and sleeps 1 fewer; the Cougar 364BHL is 5 lb heavier and 9 ft longer and sleeps 3 more. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest fifth wheels from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the Model Z floorplans profiled here run 10,691 to 14,859 pounds dry and 30 to 42 feet of exterior length across 11 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Model Z line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 17 of them for the 2670. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: interior height, tire size (a tire description is published, a size is not). If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (98%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
