It's a Done Deal,

Thank you all for taking the time to share your experiences with us and answering question after question.

After spending a few hours in it on Saturday and going back today to look it over with fresh eyes we took a road trip in it.

Long story short, signed the sales agreement, left a deposit, and set up a day and time for next week to take delivery. And oh yeah, pay the balance due.

Don't think we did too awfully bad:
New 2018 Berkshire XL 40B
$321,900 MSRP
$172,900 Discount
$149,000 Sale Price (plus TTL)

Thanks to all of you. We look forward to picking it up and transferring everything over for the Wildcat to the Berkshire

Then a summer of road time education for some grandkids.

Done Deal

How in the world did you get a brand new Berkshire 40 for that price? I have looked for a used one in the states year 2015 and cant locate one, using it for price comparison. I have a 15 Berkshire 40 XL bath and half loaded. From what I see I could sell it fairly fast about 135 or so. Not selling but just curious. My insurance co. values it at 179K 8 months ago. Did you get an engine with yours?

I guess the secret was that I wasn't looking to buy one. I was actually looking at 5th wheels and noticed that there was a link to a motorhome inventory. I had never seen a Fun Town RV that carried motorhomes so I was curious. Low and behold there it was 40' of Berkshire XL, quad slides, bath and a half and priced at approx. 52% off of MSRP. Heck, I thought that it was a misprint, but it wasn't. So I tried to talk them down, but they wouldn't budge. Leaving me with only two options, walk or step up to the plate. So I stepped up and did the deal.

Oh yea, it did come with the engine.
