Horse Trailer reviews

Floor plan is great for two. Murphy bed allows for comfortable sleeping with lots of space during the day. Full kitchen and bathroom make trailer feel like it’s much larger than it is. Full bathroom provides plenty of room. Tanks are good sized for smaller trailer. Show less

We purchased our Cougar 25RDS brand new (custom order) from a local RV dealer in 2021 and have used it for various trips May - Oct each year. It's ideal for a couple, but we have brought our 6' adult son with us on a few trips. He was able to sleep on the large convertible dining table. The openness of the living area is fantastic. However, the tight bedroom drives me crazy. We had to immediately replace the horrible mattress. The fridge broke 3x. The roof lining bubbled even though we cover it every year and check sealants. These occurred within warranty but not all repairs were covered. Keystone resists paying for warrantied items. There are other minor items breaking that my husband can fix. Show less

Great starter RV for a family. Has everything to get going and camping. Light enough to be pulled with anything, and small enough to fit anywhere. Attention to detail is absent. Cabinets peeling almost immediately, plumbing iffy, with leaks found and needed to be fixed. 1st long trip, the underbelly panels were shattered by the wind. Bed is an engineering oversight, as it cracked on the first night laying on it, but easy to fix and reinforce ourselves with metal angle. Bathroom yellowed within a month. Show less

It was purchased new and mainly a couples camper, but have had others stay a night. Had to have the bulb seal around the slide out replaced before purchase as it was coming off near the bottom of one side. Also had to return to the dealer, for a water line behind the shower that was not correctly installed. I noticed the noise when connecting to water and quickly shut it off. It was fixed while I waited. The slide fuse was installed too deep and the electric tongue jack went bad in about month 7, both were repaired/replaced while I waited (about 2 hours). There are odd and ends things that have needed attention that I have addressed (door hinges, latches, etc.) The TV antenna doesn't seem to work which we typically stream so have not addressed.

Before we bought our Brinkley, I looked at a few comparable brands; Grand Design, Alliance, and Keystone Cougar. When I saw the Brinkley and the fit and finish along with inside storage we were sold. From the dovetail drawer construction, to the solid wood dining table, to the soft close and super strong magnets on all the drawers and cabinets, Brinkley just can’t be beat in my opinion. Also, I talked with Brinkley and they said that they constructed the trailer with the ability to haul it with an empty or completely full fresh water tank without having to worry about the tank dropping out. Again, this trailer is over constructed for a travel trailer and I am sure will last for years. We personally owned a Highland Ridge Open Range travel trailer for 3 years and put about 25,000 miles on it for work so we are not just weekend warriors nor are we full timers. We decided that we wanted to buy a trailer to keep for years and not upgrade and that was why we chose the Brinkley. The livability got a 4 star rating for a few reasons. There is no real coat closet in the rig. We removed some shelves next to the fridge and created one, but it doesn’t naturally have one. Also the external storage space is another issue. You only have the front pass through (that is amazing and large) but not enough for everything. We do have the back of my truck for storage as well, but feel like the trailer just needs a little more space. Also, the speaker system in the trailer is by the company Boss. For such a high end trailer, it seems like that is a fairly low quality speaker system. One thing I have seen on some Cougar trailers is the ability to connect a table or Blackstone grill onto the side of the trailer. That would be another great addition. Overall, we love our trailer and the interaction with the Brinkley care team is also amazing and it is fun being a part of the Brinkley owner community. We have met some great fellow owners and are super pleased with our purchase. Show less

We have owned this RV since June 2023 and logged approximately 27000 miles traveling to CA, AK, and Nova Scotia all from PA. We have had minor issues, such as slides on drawers failing and other small issues but overall we are very pleased with this unit. The dealer we purchased this rig from has been excellent had any inquiry. Their response has been quick and very informative! When asked if I would buy another Rockwood or 2205S the answer is yes.

The floor plan is perfect for us as empty nesters. There is a spacious living area, a large bedroom and a decent sized bathroom. Have owned it just over a year and it has never made it a trip without something breaking. It went to the dealer approximately 7 different times to repair rattling plumbing behind the shower, replace one vent fan, repair another vent fan, reattach living room wall board to framing, repair 2 blinds that had holes in them, fix the waterpump as it was loosing prime constantly, fix the loose dinette seating back support wall, fix the annoying squeak in the bed framing. All of that was fixed under warranty. They couldn’t find anything wrong with the air conditioning, but it has an airflow issue that prevents it from keeping the trailer cooler than 10 degrees below outside temp. I will perform the DIY diverter assy to remedy that. Our last trip had the support that hold the counter top piece in place w hen the tv is stowed under the counter. I will fix that myself. I have owned 2 other trailers and they all had lots of issues also. Show less

The roof has loose decking boards and protruding fasteners and Jayco refuses to fix the problems. Their 2/3 year warranty is worthless unless they will honor it. I can not recommend Jayco. The Jayco dealer in Tulsa Oklahoma has been trying to get Jayco to honor their warranty to no success. Show less

Immediately after purchasing new last year the front cargo area filled with water and water leaked from the front window onto the bed. Took it back to the dealer (who has since been bought out during it;s bankrupcy) and they said factory did not seal it the front cap. This took 2 months to resolve. At the beginning of this season I had the roof inspected by a licensed tech and inspector and discovered the TPO membrane completely delaminating and bubbling. The RV dearler said roof needs replacement. KEYESTONE DENIED coverage multiple times. I still own the trailer, still using it and watching the TPO bubble off. Many other issues like water pump, on demand heater. This trailer is garbage. Show less

Great RV! Had no major issues with it. Routine maintenance is all that is needed. Great brand! We enjoy how much storage space there is throughout the camper. Overall great RV. Only complaint is we wish the speakers on the outside would be closer to the door. Show less
