Speaking of Warranties...


What kind of a warranty comes with a new Berkshire?

Welcome to the Berk Family Andrew! That Horse Hobby is definitely all encompassing that is for sure! My brother's X wife was horse obsessed (Hence the X before wife). She is a Barrel Racer but has done jumping too. She sometimes travels with Tiany Schuster doing massage therapy on Tiany's horses. Tiany rides futurity races. It is a full time job keeping those horses fit.
I think you will enjoy the freedom having a Motorhome allows you. It definitely beats staying in hotel rooms! Good Luck with the whole sales process and pick up of your new MH. Keep us posted on how it all goes.

We bought ours from Motorhome Specialists in Texas. They had the best price and gave us the best trade in amount. We were very happy with the dealership and the service. Our salesman was Mitch Bennett. Mention our name and he will give you $500.00 more off the price of the coach. Tell him Stevenson 11157 sent you. It is worth a look anyway. It is a big price to regret if you pay too much!

The warranty depends a lot on what accessories you have. Freight liner has one warranty period and the a/c units have a different one. I bought an extended warranty out to 7 years. 100 deductible after the factory warranty expires.

Happy with my choice when everything worked out. Was looking at lesser options brand new for the price. Fit our needs and timeline

1 year on the home. Chassis and transmission have 3 year usually (or 50k) miles. Generator has as far as I know 500 hours. Not sure. Home I bought was 800 hours so out of warranty. I never got into warranty conversations when we were looking at new options since we never fell in love when we were shopping to take to next step in the conversation. Someone else that knows more will prove me wrong I am sure.

The Horses are a pain for me (husband, and probable father if the wife gets her way). My resort is a good beer, and now Louis, what the wife wants to call the new toy, Lost that one too , I can at least grill some good food and do some work when we are sitting at a show waiting.

Been Lurking for a little bit - Hopeful New owner of a 2014 390bh

Chalk another one up for Total Value RV in Elkhart, IN. We met the Berk owner two pads down from us. His name is Ken and he's from Ohio. He has a 2015, 380 RB. it has bunks and 1-1/2 baths. It looks like a 38A.
So I had to ask him how his experience with TVRV was. He told me about picking the coach up three months ago. Ken and his wife parked up front at one of TVRV's pads, went to the grocery store to pick up a few things. When they got back and opened the refrigerator there were no shelves in the fridge.
I guess bad service is consistent with those folks at TVRV.

Thanks for holding off till after I closed the deal with them 😜. Still happy with the mh even if I am worried about the seller. Is what it is. Thanks again for taking great care of her. I know I have someone to call if there are issues. 😀
