I have a 2008 38 Ft. Fleetwood Expedition. Due to it's age and a few other things am thinking about trading it in on a 40 ft. Forest River Berkshire XL. Am wanting thoughts and experiences on the quality of Forest River products. I really wanted to upgrade to a Tiffin Allegro Open Road RED, but don't think can afford it.

I've talked with a number of Berkshire owners and found each one of them very happy with their purchase. They all bought them new!

Currently have a 2011 FR Berkshire, after having 2 Fleetwoods (Bounder and Flair SE). Have had less trouble with FR than the others. Compared Berkshire against Tiffin, and FR was much better deal and higher quality. Would buy FR again. Good luck!

I have had terrible experiences with FR quality and fit/finish. Problems too numerous to list here. And it isn't limited to the lower end...I have a higher end trailer and have had nothing but issues caused by shoddy manufacturing processes and cutting corners. FR answers seem to be "come to our annual rally and we will fix your stuff." I don't want to drive to Indiana once a year to fix stuff that should've been taken care beforehand. Be careful, there are good ones out there but they have their share of stinkers!

I would check the Forest River Owners Forum, might get more response there. I know they have a Berkshire section there.
