Thx Campin Cajun. Looks like we settled on the 390-60 RB.

The floor plan, bedding arrangements for guests, room around the bed for easier making (no step up), and the ability to take the table out and use the dinette as a couch won us over.

The 1/2 bath sealed the deal.

We are adding window awnings (to help keep the heat out) got the 15k air, and adding a sleep number bed.

The input from the other berk owners was invaluable. Especially Phil57 telling me to get it as close to what we want upfront. #AlwaysGoodAdvice.

Jim,
Congrats on the purchase of your new Berkshire. Hope you have many fun, memorable, safe and trouble free miles with it!
Looking forward to seeing it at next years International Frog Rally.

Congrats on the new Berk!
We have the 390BH-60, got it in March and have put 8k on it so far!
LOVE THIS THING!!
We choose the bunk house due to having two kiddos 14, 10 and can close them off and be up having coffee while they sleep.
The diesel is a dream. The 360 upgrade was a good decision for us. We were recently in Yosemite and experienced some major grade changes up and down and it handled everything like a champ. A little pucker factor on my side but all's well!
Hope to see you on the road, safe travels
Stephen
