  • Keystone Tour

    Goshen, IN, July 2026 The day after the Brinkley tour, we drove up to Goshen again for a Keystone tour. We planned to tour the Montana High Country plant because that model had a cargo capacity that was feasible for our use. Sadly, they are revamping the Montana High Country product line, so they may…

  • Brinkley Tour

    Goshen, IN, July 2026 While staying in Indiana, we scheduled a tour of the Brinkley 5th wheel manufacturing plant. The plant was 150 miles one way from the park. So, it was a fairly long day. The tour lasted 3 hours. The first 30 to 40 minutes was more of a sales pitch than anything…

  • Montana High Country 2026 351BH

    North Ridgeville, OH, July 2026 We went to RCD RV Superstore in North Ridgeville, Ohio to look at a 2026 Montana High Country 351BH. The trailer is 39 feet 11 inch long and has a raised bunk house that can be converted into an office. This trailer was made in August 2025, and it does…

  • Best Campsite Visitors – David & Sylvia

    Chippokes State Park, VA, May 2026 I had an absolute treat when my Virginia cousins visited us in Chippokes State Park. I haven’t seen David in at least 5 years. Dave always makes me think of Uncle Dick because he looks so much like him. I remember coming to Virginia as a kid. We went…

  • If a Tree Doesn’t Fall in the Woods, Does Starlink Work?

    Chippokes State Park, VA, May 2026 Starlink requires open sky overhead in order to function. Here at Chippokes, the sky looks like this. That is pretty much the definition of “not open sky”. Starlink refers to this as “Partially Obstructed”, but it looks “Mostly Obstructed” to me. There is a gap in the trees to…

  • Z3515 vs 360MBI

    This is a comparison of many of features we care about in the Brinkley Model Z 3515 and the Keystone Cougar 360MBI. The weight calculations assume that we can drop 200 pounds of added shelving weight added by modifications to our current RV. The weight excludes the 500 to 600 lbs of fresh or waste…

  • Brinkley Model Z 3515 5th Wheel

    May 2025 This is similar to other posts with trailers that might work for us. The Brinkley Z3515 5th wheel is 39 feet 11 inches which equates to almost 2 feet longer than our current trailer. This trailer has a dedicated office with it’s own AC. This is the main benefit of this trailer. The…

  • Keystone Cougar 360MBI 5th Wheel

    April 2026 When you live in your 5th wheel, it takes time to find a trailer that fits your needs. You will never find something that meets all requirements. Our 1st trailer took us 2 years to find one that we liked. Our current trailer has a little bit of luck that we found one…

  • F350 vs F450

    Background When we bought our F350, the sales person guaranteed that we would have at least a 3,600 lb cargo capacity. He said it should be closer to 4,000 lbs. We were not talking to some random Ford car salesperson; we were talking to one of the commercial truck sales people. You would expect them…

  • Brinkley Z3210 5th Wheel Review & Details

    Marietta, GA, April 2026 John noticed that Brinkley came out with a new camper layout that is 34 feet 11 inches long (3 feet 1 inch shorter than our current trailer). This 5th wheel was fashioned off of the Brinkley Z3110 trailer frame. In this trailer design, the bunk room has a more versatile design…
