I also have settled on Waze on an iPad. While I do like the 10" dash M10 Pilot, it interferes with the dinghy & side cameras and audio controls so I don't use it. I will also use a Tom-Tom that has lifetime maps. The Tom-Tom and Waze also can show traffic and notify of alternate routes. On longer trips I might even plug in the laptop and fire up Delorme Street Atlas USA which I used for years and really liked because you could plan your entire route ahead of time with specific "avoids" and "via." You could also zoom out for a large map for a sense of where you are in relation to the whole state for example. Unfortunately Street Atlas is no longer supported and my maps are now 4 years old.

2018 version im assuming? you bought new?

so after 10,000 miles how do you feel about it? Any issues? What sort of warranty work (if any) did you have done? Did the 10,000 miles make you love it even more or are there squeals and squeaks now?

I drove an 18 and it felt amazing and super smooth. I always wondered if that would change after a bunch of miles.

Yes, we bought it new. 2018 first half of the year design. Only a few issues but all have been taken care of. We still love it and after 10,000 miles it still smells new.

nice thread here. glad everyone seems like they like their berkshires. the berkshire seems to be a jewel among all the class A Rvs out there. Seems like if you look through all the different RV brands, there's either crappy built ones or $300-$400k ones. best bang for the buck in my opinion.

No more than when new. It will never be completely quiet. There's too many things that can make noise. That said, it's not getting any worse, so it's holding up pretty good. Chassis is solid. I have a cockpit curtain which helps muffle the rattles and squeaks somewhat. That and I turn up the radio.

I agree, the only things that really make noise are: pots and pans, plates, silverware, wine glasses, liquor bottles, potatoes chip bags and the microwave glass base. When we are on a smooth road, things are pretty quite in there. Different noises when we go down a dirt road slow to get to a campground but for the most part, far better environment than any of our other motorhomes we have owned. Even in the rear of the coach. We left early in the morning on our way home from Goshen and my wife stayed in bed in the back and slept for the first 4 hours of the trip home. It must have been pretty quite back there too.
