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...

We had a 2011 Berkshire 390bh. It was one of those that got recalled and fixed for the overweight chassis. Forest River had us drive to Gaffney, SC where they replaced all six tires and the front air bags. That raised the carrying capacity from 1,900 pounds to over 5,000 pounds.
Literally that was the only major issue in seven years of ownership. It was a good unit all the way around and it did have one of the best floor plans we had seen. No complaints about the quality of the Berkshire.
So why did we switch? We wanted to go to a tag axle coach and one that was better insulated. The Berk could get really hot inside if the temps got well over 90.
