01 What makes it unique
The 3500 puts the kitchen in the middle of the coach and builds an 11-foot garage behind it that sleeps five with the loft included. The galley is the centerpiece — a waterfall island that converts to a counter peninsula, a pull-out pantry and a GE Energy Star 19-cubic-foot refrigerator — flanked by a combined kitchen-and-living space with a heat-and-massage sofa, a fireplace and a TV. After the toys are unloaded the garage becomes a lounge with independent dual sofas and a Fold-N-Stow table; up front, a private bedroom with a king bed slide-out, a walk-in closet and under-bed storage closes the coach. A bath-and-a-half adds a second toilet for a crowd.
It carries the most cargo in the line. RVUSA lists a published 22,000-pound GVWR against a 16,967-pound dry weight — the lightest dry figure of any Model G — which leaves a 5,033-pound payload, the most of the seven profiled plans, against a 3,320-pound dry pin. The full Model G build is standard: the continuous I-beam chassis on three 8,000-pound axles, the 30,000-pound Gen-Y pin box, SumoSprings, disc brakes, triple 13,500-BTU heat-pump air conditioners, 800-watt solar and the FlexPower 5500 generator. Three patio awnings shade the campside.
At an MSRP of $203,009 it is actually the lowest-priced Model G despite the bigger garage and bath-and-a-half. For a family or full-timer who wants the most usable payload, a real second toilet and a garage that doubles as guest sleeping, the 3500 is the value heart of the line.

03 The Model G floorplan family
The Brinkley Model G is the brand's luxury fifth-wheel toy-hauler line — a residential interior and an automotive exterior wrapped around a multi-purpose garage/flex space. The line runs to nine floorplans for 2026; the seven with published weights are profiled here in full, and the two front-office plans are catalogued on the line hub pending weight publication. The 3500 on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page.

The Brinkley Model G is the luxury fifth-wheel toy-hauler line from Brinkley RV, an independent manufacturer founded by RV-industry veterans. The full line runs to nine floorplans for 2026; seven are profiled here and two front-office plans are catalogued above pending weight publication. Every plan rides a single continuous I-beam chassis on three 8,000-pound axles with 8,000-pound leaf springs, a 30,000-pound Gen-Y Executive Torsion Flex pin box, SumoSprings and disc brakes as standard, and pairs a residential interior with an automotive exterior and a multi-purpose garage/flex space with a Zero-Gravity ramp door. Each ships with a 19-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, triple GE low-profile 13,500-BTU heat-pump air conditioners, an 800-watt solar package, a FlexPower 5500 dual-fuel inverter generator and a Rockford Fosgate audio system. 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. A toy hauler's real loaded pin weight runs well above the base figure — always weigh the loaded coach and confirm against your truck's payload and rear-axle ratings.
04 What owners & reviewers report
Most payload in the line
A 5,033-lb net cargo figure — the most of the seven profiled Model G plans — against the lightest dry weight in the lineup.
Garage sleeps five
An 11-foot garage that sleeps five with the loft included — plus independent dual sofas and a Fold-N-Stow table once the toys are out.
Waterfall island + bath-and-a-half
A mid-coach waterfall island that converts to a peninsula, plus a second toilet — kitchen and convenience for a crowd.
Lowest MSRP, more coach
At $203,009 it undercuts the shorter 3250 despite the bigger garage and the half bath — the line’s value play.
05 How it compares
Mechanically near-identical with the living room rotated 90° into dual recliners and a flex garage — conversation-and-TV layout instead of a party sofa.
A 45-foot plan with a 16-foot “Garage-Mahal,” loft and half bath — far more garage at a higher weight.
The sub-38-foot entry with a garage-and-loft flex space — less garage, lower pin, easiest to place.
