Bet you're excited. Congrats on the decision.
We have the 2015 QL400 and love it.
No major problems yet. But only have a couple hundred miles on it. But camping in the yard for a few weeks and everything seems to be working very well.

The only embarrassing moment I had with mine was not being familiar with air bags and the air system. First time I took it out of the drive and down the road, I felt like I was riding a mechanical bull trying to throw me out of the seat. DOH! I didn't give the air bags a chance to inflate.

Now, life is good.

Thank you Kenny, being familiar with heavy vehicle air systems I can understand your rough ride. Currently I am in negotiations on two units both Berkshire XL BH 360, Since I do not live close to a dealer , I must go long distance to make a purchase and not knowing any thing about a dealer I feel I am at a disadvantage.
Looking forward to the new coach, this will be our second class A,our first
diesel.

You didn't mention where the dealers you are negotiating with are. So just in case, i would advise you stay away from Camping World in Akron, Ohio. While I love the coach, I didn't like their sales or service departments at all.
