FOREST RIVER BERKSHIRE LUXURY MOTORCOACH
"All the amenities of a high end luxury diesel motorcoach at about the same price you would find a gas motorhome"

Forest River says: "Finally, a diesel motor home where luxury is truly within reach! Berkshire offers all the amenities of a high end luxury diesel motor coach at about the same price you would find a gas motor home. Built on a Freightliner Raised Rail XC chassis with complete pass through storage, Berkshire's standard features include: fiberglass roof, full body paint, automatic generator slide out, automatic door and patio awnings, 32" LCD front TV, and much, much more."

The first floorplan we show is the 360QS.  This has an overall length of 37'9" (with rear ladder.)  4 slides and a beautiful layout as you can see in the pictures further down this page.

The next we show is the 390QS - 2 feet longer - with an overall length of 39'9" (with rear ladder.).  The extra length gives a bigger kitchen space and extra storage.  4 slides.
(These floorplans - to maximize the space and make them as easy as possible to look at - are not shown to the same scale of course ..)

Forest River say about the two floorplans above - "Berkshire's two quadruple slide out floorplans offer plenty of room for entertainment or full time living. Available on either the Cummins 300 horse power or the Mercedes 330 engine, the Berkshire has enough power to take you anywhere."

The third floorplan completes the Berkshire models - the 390TS.  Again, this has with an overall length of 39'9" (with rear ladder.)  This model has 3 slides.

Clifford,SC :   I have an electrical problem with my lights in the hallway by the bathroom. Can anyone help me with this problem?

swaenepoel :   We bought a berkshire 360 QS and imported him to Europe. Not easy to homologate but so far so good.We have driven 2000 miles and we are very happy with our new motorhome. We use him to pull a horsetrailer of 5000 lbs, no problema...

Hershelb :   We are looking at a 2008 Berkshire model BE360QS-30 the only thing that bothers me , the one we're looking at has the Mercedes Diesel instead of the cummins. we are trading in our 99 Monaco and have had such good service from the cummins we'll probly pass on this one.

Charles E.Riverside Ca :   We own a 2008 Berkshire 36Q. I bought this motorhome last September. At the time we had purchased a 30Q by Four Winds, the Hurricane model I had two motor homes at one time. Sold my Hurricane about a month ago. The Berkshire is the best motorhome for the money. We just came back from 4 days in San Diego. Iam a newby when it comes to motorhomes,this is my sixth trip on a motorhome, and the Berkshire has been a wonderful experience for me and my wife. When people in parks see this motorhome, they think it cost about $250,000, when I tell them what i paid for it, they are amazed with the features it has. This past trip I was next to a Country Coach Intrigue, and the owner had a plexiglass shield to protect the front end from stones. Told me he wished he had the 3m shield,. I told him it was a standard feature on the Berkshire, as usual no comment from him. Great Motorhome.

Gregory Kempa :   I have a Forest River Berkshire with a Freightliner chassis. The best motorhome I have owned in a long time, only one problem came up, the Freightliner factory forgot to put the rear axle breather tube in and I was losing rear axle fluid while driving. They came to the Campground and installed it on site. Freightliner give very good service.
