01 What makes it unique
The 3400 turns the back of the coach into an indoor-outdoor kitchen. The rear galley opens through a rear wall to a campside outdoor kitchen and a Zero-Gravity rear patio — a 1,500-pound-capacity deck with electric top latches that drops down to extend the living space outside. A center living area with a workstation and chairs sits amidships, and the front holds a private bedroom with a king bed slide (queen optional). Three slide-outs open it up to nearly 39 feet of indoor-outdoor entertaining.
It is a heavier, longer plan. RVUSA lists a published 17,495-pound GVWR against a 13,898-pound dry weight, leaving a 3,597-pound payload and a 2,391-pound dry pin — figures that want a properly rated three-quarter-ton or one-ton truck. The full Brinkley build carries through on the monotube triple-powder-coated 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, a 130-gallon grey tank and the two-air-conditioner package standard.
At an MSRP of $134,128 it sits among the upper plans. For a couple who entertains outdoors and wants a rear kitchen that opens to a campside galley and a drop-down patio deck, the 3400 is the indoor-outdoor Model Z.

The Brinkley Model Z is a mid-size luxury fifth wheel built by Brinkley RV, an independent manufacturer founded by RV-industry veterans. The full line runs to twelve floorplans for 2026; eight are profiled here and four more are catalogued above. Every plan rides on the same monotube triple-powder-coated chassis with 7,000-pound tandem axles on 8,000-pound leaf springs, a CURT Touring Coil suspension with ABS and a Helux king pin, and a fully enclosed, heated underbelly, and ships with a 370-watt roof solar package (740-watt ready) with a 50-amp MPPT controller, a 16-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, brass plumbing fittings and a tankless on-demand water heater as standard — with a class-leading 79.5-inch bed and bath ceiling height. Body specifications (lengths, heights, payload, tanks, sleeping, slides and awnings) are RVUSA-verified against the 2026 structured spec records, each page fp-slug and title checked; dry weight, GVWR, payload and pin weight are published per plan, and each plan's dry weight plus payload equals its GVWR exactly. Real loaded pin weights run higher — always weigh the loaded coach and confirm against your truck's payload and rear-axle ratings.
04 What owners & reviewers report
Outdoor kitchen + rear patio
A rear galley that opens to a campside outdoor kitchen and a 1,500-lb Zero-Gravity drop-down patio deck — the indoor-outdoor plan.
Big grey tank
A 130-gallon grey tank supports the dual indoor-and-outdoor kitchens on longer stays.
Heavier upper plan
At 13,898 lb dry with a 17,495-lb GVWR and a 2,391-lb pin, confirm a properly rated 3/4- or 1-ton truck.
King front bedroom
A private front bedroom with a king bed slide (queen optional), separated from the living and kitchen space.
05 How it compares
The other rear-kitchen plan — a dual-entry bath and the biggest fresh tank, without the outdoor kitchen and patio.
The flagship — a flexible mid-coach bonus room, four slides and a third air conditioner for families.
The full-size luxury step up — a heavier coach with more length and tanks if you tow with a one-ton.
