2026 Brinkley Model Z3610

The 3610 is the largest and most flexible Model Z. Its centerpiece is a mid-coach bonus room that Brinkley sets up as a bunkhouse, office, game room, second bedroom or open flex space — a whole extra room amidships rather than a fixed bunk zone — with a 72-inch tri-fold sofa and a private front bedroom rounding out a plan rated to sleep up to ten, the most in the line. Four slide-outs open the living, kitchen, bonus room and bedroom across nearly 42 feet.

It is the heaviest standard Model Z, and the only one with three roof air conditioners. RVUSA lists a published 17,695-pound GVWR against a 14,859-pound dry weight, leaving a 2,836-pound payload and the line’s highest dry pin at 2,591 pounds, with a third 13,500-BTU mid air conditioner added to cool the bonus room. The full Brinkley build carries through on the monotube triple-powder-coated chassis with 7,000-pound tandem axles, a Helux king pin, brass plumbing, 370-watt solar and a 16-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator.

At an MSRP of $138,268 it is the most expensive standard plan in the line. At nearly 42 feet with a 2,591-pound dry pin and a 17,695-pound GVWR, it wants a properly rated three-quarter-ton or one-ton truck. For a family that needs a flexible extra room and capacity for a crowd — in Brinkley’s luxury build — the 3610 is the flagship 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 3610 on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page.

A full 75-gallon fresh tank is about 626 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 22% of the 3610’s 2,836 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,210 lb (221 lb per rated berth). Across 11 Model Z floorplans the water share runs 17% to 32%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Model Z 3420 at 22% and Model Z 3300 at 32%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
