Newmar vs Berkshire - Diesel Bunkhouses
I've been in the market for a Newmar Allstar, but they are somewhat few and far between. I'm considering a Berkshire 390bh, but can't seem to find much about their build quality. I also like the Tif...

When searching for a motor home we did look at the Berkshire line. I found the quality to be lacking, sorry not trying to offend Berkshire owners. One thing that stood out in one Berkshire DP we looked at was the construction of the bathroom.
In the bathroom the counter top with the sink had Formica (or product equivalent) with particle board as the base. For me particle board in a wet/humid environment was not the best idea. Along with that numerous interior walls actually flexed when you applied moderate pressure with the palm of you hand.
We also looked at Newmar and under all the fluff a much better quality build than that of the Berkshire . No flexing walls or particle board in the bathroom.
But what it all boils down to is what you want. It's your choice, choose what meets your wants/requirement/budget.
