2026 Brinkley Model Z2900

The 2900 is the first triple-slide Model Z, and the rear-living plan for a couple who lives in the main room. The back of the coach is an inviting rear living area with a 72-inch tri-fold sofa and theater seating across from a televator and an electric fireplace; ahead of it sits a center kitchen island with a farmhouse sink and an 84-inch pantry, and the front holds a private master bedroom with a queen bed, a wardrobe slide and a spacious bath. Three slide-outs open the living, kitchen and bedroom in just under 33 feet.

It keeps the line’s lighter end despite the extra slides. RVUSA lists a published 14,995-pound GVWR against an 11,985-pound dry weight, leaving a 3,010-pound payload and a 2,193-pound dry pin — easy figures for a properly rated three-quarter-ton truck. The full Brinkley build is unchanged on the monotube chassis with 7,000-pound tandem axles, a Helux king pin and brass plumbing, with a 16-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, 370-watt solar and the two-air-conditioner package standard.

At an MSRP of $118,385 it sits in the lower-middle of the line. For a couple who wants three slides of rear-living space, a center island galley and a fireplace — in a coach that still tows under 12,000 pounds dry — the 2900 is the natural rear-living Model Z.

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 2900 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 21% of the 3,010-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 2900 with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry pin weight of 2,193 pounds is 18% of this floorplan’s 11,985-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 14,995-pound GVWR the 2900 is towing 3,010 pounds more than its 11,985-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.

Ranked by GVWR, the 2900 sits 4 of 11 in the Model Z line: 14,995 pounds against a line that runs from 13,995 to 17,695 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.

Either side of it in the same line: Model Z 2810 matches it exactly at 14,995 lb GVWR; and Model Z 3100 is 500 pounds heavier at 15,495 lb GVWR.

1 other Model Z plan shares this floorplan’s 14,995 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 2900: the Avenue 35RKS is 4 ft longer and sleeps 1 more; the Eagle 360DBOK is 10 ft longer and sleeps 1 more; the Reflection 360FLS is 6 ft longer and sleeps 1 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 2900. 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.
