Hello, my name is Cory Gabel. I have been in and around RVs since I was about 6 years old and In 2016, while I was still in college I was given the opportunity to start working in the RV industry as a salesman with Custom RV Inc.. In January 2024, I decided to switch things up and make the move to Fun Town RV.
I always strive to educate my customers on everything to do with the RV lifestyle instead of just selling RVs like a high pressure used car salesman and I ALWAYS put safety before the sale with any customer. There is so much more to RVing than just picking out your dream RV like how to operate it and maintaining it.
I truly believe every RV ever made is the “best” for a different reason and that is my main goal of this channel is to showcase both where each Rv featured in the channel is great at but also where they may lack in some way or feature.

So with the bed tilt controls you actually aren’t supposed to use them while in bed. It can damage the mechanism since these aren’t a residential bed base. That’s why they don’t do that
The idea in keeping the interior simple is so no matter what colors you prefer or choose to add (pillows curtains etc.) it would go well with the cabinets and furniture. Also the dinette lights are great, they actually provide more lighting at night with less shadows than some other ones out there.
This is a nice rig. Too big for our needs, but like the thought they put into the layout and details. Like the addition of soft closing doors and the complete wash/dry dishwasher. I agree with you that they could move the entryway door and slide the steps more towards the living / kitchen area. Great review, thank you!
Retro look is too cool along with the front window. On the other hand I like a nice bed and probably 2, this has horrible beds. Also no bathroom sink so brushing your teeth, shaving, make up in kitchen sink. The kitchen sink needs a double basin.
Currently there is not an option to swap the sofa for a different piece pf furniture. There is nothing that says you can’t haul these on regular camping trips. Most people use them as permanent residences or seasonal vacation homes.
I am living full-time in my G3500 #482 and absolutely love it. I've added a few items here and there. That's the beauty of Brinkley. They make the interior decor easy to change as you like. No frilly nonsense. The build quality with Brinkley crew support is top-notch. I've toured the factory, and it's very nice. They definitely take care of their employees. No regrets.
Why are the kingpin sections built like garbage and collapse so often? Is it certain brands or are all 5th wheel campers only connected to the kingpin section with 2"x4"x1/8" wall tubing welded on the sides?
What you’re referring to is called frame flex. It’s only on certain campers built with the old style Lippert frame. How you tell the difference is if it doesn’t use a Rhino Box pin box (or the space saver frame if they used an upgraded pin box) then they have the old style frame. It’s mostly happening on Grand Design and select Keystone RV models but 99% of 5th wheels don’t have that issue.
I’ve never been a big fan of those. It’s basically a hard sided pop up. Anything that I have to assemble when I get to the campsite after a long drive (not talking about running slides or leveling the camper) is a no go for me.
@@RVingwithCory I understand that they’re not for everyone. I like the idea of the trailer being lower for towing. It takes only 5 lbs of strength to “unfold” the Trailer Manor and about 15 minutes to get the interior ready for use. In the areas that I enjoy camping, a Hard sided trailer is mandatory because of the wildlife. My truck is a 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab with the 6’ bed. I like the idea of having a lower and shorter trailer for towing. Less drag so my 318 horsepower and 295 lb ft of torque doesn’t have to work as hard driving on the freeway. Anyhow, to each his own. Safe travels and enjoy your travels ! Cheers
Just bought one used in 2024...and I'm excited to see if ours has some of the same features that I didn't notice when we saw it yesterday. Thanks for the video
Does the AC run off of the solar power? Or do you have to be hooked up to power to run it? Everything on ours is running off of the solar except for the microwave the AC :(

@diaperdood1 they can’t do block foam in those areas because the fiberglass batten insulation is easier to work with in these areas with the curvature.
@@RVingwithCory i was always curious about that because why does lance and coachmen use block foam on the front cap, back walls, sidewalls, floor, and ceiling?
I believe there would be if you load it through the side door. You might have to take the front wheel off or if you have folding bikes it might work better.
Thank you I was trying to avoid carrying it on the hitch,however I went and purchased it the other day and take delivery next week, I’ve looked at 29 and 3100 initially wasn’t sure if I wanted or needed the patio , however went with it and it’s a nice addition to be outside without leaving camper, I mostly go to state parks and although most may not accommodate the patio being down but when it is down it will be well worth it
Not to bad things I don’t like are televator they always break, hate side by side fridge, and no inverter is pretty sad. It costs so little for a manufacturer to put 600 watts bare minimum or more worth of solar panels on the roof done correctly from the factory with the mount points marked and wiring ready to add more panels if customers want to or not keeping with the roof warranty. You don’t have to put a bank of batteries just what you normally do because every customer will put the kind of battery system in they want. For instance I prefer 48v rack system lithium batteries, a little more expensive but 3 of those will be equal to 10 AGM’S or 6 to 8 regular lithium batteries taking up so much space is ridiculous. But a 2 or 3 thousand watt inverter should be standard.
Thank you for the comments. The reason they don’t do the inverter is because of the 12 volt refrigerator. It doesn’t need one. Most people are telling the manufacturers they don’t need the extra batteries because most people don’t go dry camping in these and are going to RV parks.
