Crazy what you get for the money. 6 TVs, dishwasher, washer and dryer.... etc. We had a few warranty issues like each of our previous motorhomes, but nothing serious at all. Drives well, incredible amounts of storage.

Just wanted to educate everyone about forest river berkshire xlt ca diesel pusher. They are just mine is brand new and they do not support their warranty. And their build quality is a joke. They use double side tape to install cargo bay door, mine blew off when I was driving it home from dealership. After looking closer I realized they never pulled the vinyl off of the tape, so no adhesive. Another thing was front shower glass door bottom track was installed backwards so when water ran down glass it would immediately go on floor. There's a ton more just don't have time to right about them all. I have pictures to document them all. Just wanted to make everyone aware.

We have owned and operated this motor home for more than two years. We love it. It is perfect for the two of us . On the road it is responsive to my needs: easy to steer and good acceleration. The three rear facing cameras make turning or backing up easy. The drivers seat is very comfortable. I can drive all day and night without back issues. My flat towed toad follows easily behind. You don’t know it’s there but to be sure you can put the rear camera on so you can make sure everything is all right back there. When you park, you drop the self leveling jacks, put out all four slides and hook up water, electric and water. Your all set to sit around the fire with a cold one. If your parked for a long time it handles that well. with the slides out, you have a big living area, a couch with pull out bed, separate sinks in the bath and a queen sized bed with a large closet with mirrored doors . The washer and drier will keep you away from a laundromat. An assumable warranty with approximately three years left is assumableYou will be happy here.

This brand is terrible customer service is terrible Bought brand new took it home nothing works ac, heater coolant leaking. Mitch was my service guy from Forrest river the guy is terrible and so the other two coworker. They don’t ever want to return my call or email. Kept my rv for 5 month in and out service first half of the year told me they would extend my warranty but lied over and over on everything . Rv still not fixed Berkshire should street hustler rather than anything. Took my rv home and took my lost . Will never trust this brand again

Nicest looking, most expensive Piece of %$# money can buy. 235k diesel pusher coach. Whenever it rained everything in garage got wet. Roof leaked, inverter fried, washer broke. Turn a corner drawers opened and things fell out. Undercarriage rusting bad. Wiring is not harnessed and laying all over chaffing and shorting out circuits. Everything rattles wen going down rd. If your not mechanically inclined DO NOT buy one. I could go on all day. You have been warned!!!

This coach looks, drives and handles like a dream! The air suspension feels like you are on a cloud. The Cherry wood is very elegant and easy to clean. We tow a Chevrolet Traverse and it follows very nicely, we also set it up to work off the air breaks, so it stops on a dime! Tons of counter space and the Corrin counter tops is a great touch! The double door refrigerator can run off of LP, generator and electric, plus it is very large and includes an ice maker. The con is the shower is not very large, but I am 6'-1" 280# and I have no issues using it. Pro is it's a shower/tub.

I purchased this unit new July 2019 had to leave it with the dealership for rear cap lights inoperative, unit was delivered to me had to take it back to dealership for several other minor fixes, now the engine malfunction indicator light continually stays on and having issues with the check engine light coming on with loss of power. The folks at 1800-Frieghtliner-HELP has been great with assistance but the issue is with the Frieghtliner chassis.

Love this floor plan. The dinette and sofa are across from each other and up front by driver and passenger seats so great when entertaining guests. Great having stackable W/D. Love the full length dresser in bedroom and extra large closet as well as the King size bed. Living area is very spacious. We are able to put a coffee table infront of sofa, a footstool in front of one of the chairs and a small end table next between the drivers seat and sofa and still have plenty of room to walk around and makes it very homey. Also we like having the large windows over dining table (the later models have a TV between two small windows over dinette) and the sofa areas. Extra large stainless steel sink in kitchen is really nice and the residential Refrigerator with icemaker is a plus. Cons is the Atwood hot water system as we have to run and waste alot of water before we get hot water. Weve had to replace the low flow faucets with faster flowing faucets to improve the flow of water and get more and faster hot water when showering. Another con is the window next to co-pilot (passenger) seat. It is designed so there is a bar at passenger eye level so unless you're very tall you can not get a good view out the window. This coach drives nice and tows our Honda CRV AWD with no problem. We did replace the Michelin tires that came on the coach with Toyo tires and the ride seems even smoother. This coach is perfect for two people. Although the sofa and dinette make into beds it really would be a hassle to do that every night. So we recommend this as being the perfect travel coach for a couple with no kids. Plenty of room if you have a dog. And we find that we have tons and tons of storage inside and outside. We dont even use all the storage inside. We love this coach. It's only a 340HP but as long as we are not overloaded we have no issues with power even whiling towing. We get close to 10 mph which is great and we use diesel 2 fuel. We enjoy this coach.
