2026 Brinkley Model G3520

The 3520 takes the 3500’s layout and rotates the entire living room 90 degrees. Where the 3500 puts a four-seat party sofa on the campside wall, the 3520 splits that seating into two double recliners with heat and massage facing a televator TV and an electric fireplace — a conversation-and-TV arrangement built for full-time living rather than a weekend party. Dual opposing slides are floor-flush, so there is no slide step to cross, and the chef gets the same waterfall island that converts to a peninsula with a spice rack and a pull-down utensil tray. The 11-foot garage carries a max-space half bath with fold-away walls plus a loft, and a washer/dryer-prep option deletes the half bath for loading length.

It tows like the 3500. RVUSA lists a published 22,000-pound GVWR against a 17,496-pound dry weight, leaving a 4,504-pound payload and a 3,150-pound dry pin. The full Model G running gear is standard — the single continuous I-beam chassis on three 8,000-pound axles, the 30,000-pound Gen-Y pin box, SumoSprings and disc brakes — and the front private bedroom carries a king bed slide-out, under-bed drawers with motion lights, a dresser with hidden storage and a walk-in closet with cordless-vacuum prep.

At an MSRP of $210,828 it sits just above the 3500. For a full-timing couple who wants the same chassis and garage but a living room arranged for watching and talking rather than a big party sofa — with floor-flush slides and a televator — the 3520 is the layout to choose.

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 3520 on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 150-gallon fresh tank is roughly 28% of the 4,504-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 3520 with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry pin weight of 3,150 pounds is 18% of this floorplan’s 17,496-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 22,000-pound GVWR the 3520 is towing 4,504 pounds more than its 17,496-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 150 gallons of fresh against 156 grey and 85 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Ranked by GVWR, the 3520 sits 3 of 7 in the Model G line: 22,000 pounds against a line that runs from 22,000 to 23,000 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 G 3500 matches it exactly at 22,000 lb GVWR; and Model G 3950 is 1,000 pounds heavier at 23,000 lb GVWR.

2 other Model G plans share this floorplan’s 22,000 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 3520: the Momentum 394G is 500 lb heavier and 5 ft longer and sleeps 1 more; the Cyclone 3913 is 1,000 lb lighter and 6 ft longer and sleeps 2 more; the Nightfall 397NHD is 1,000 lb lighter and 5 ft longer. 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 G floorplans profiled here run 16,967 to 18,700 pounds dry and 38 to 46 feet of exterior length across 7 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 G line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 17 of them for the 3520. 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 (97%) 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.
