How do you drain the fresh water tank? Videos and manual all talk about “the” valve. Where is this valve? I’ve found valves in the water bay and in the fresh water tank bay but nothing happens when I turn them. Please help! Thanks

Driver's side window will not slide on our 2016 Berkshire XL 40QL. The glass pane that slides is getting stuck. Has anyone taken this apart to fix on their own? RV repair says we need a whole new window to the tune of $2000, urgh. The vertical bars are hitting, see picture

I have two electrical issues with a 2022 Berkshire XL 40E that have the dealer stumped. First, all exterior lights flash simultaneously while parked and connected to 50 amp shore power. This drains the chassis batteries. This has happened three times and it appears to be totally random. The...

The low beam has failed on the driver’s side. The tech at the local shop says he has power at the plug on the assembly but not at the bulb socket. He says the voltage is on one side of a device that looks like a diode or resistor but not on the other. Anyone seen this and do you know what the...

How much is to much? I have 750 watts on the roof. Come spring I will add another 250 watt panel. All connected to one victron charger. I have another smaller charger that will handle 200 watts. Project will be to add another 200 watt panel connected to the charger. When under to much shade I...

Has anyone installed security cameras? I went with Blink. 1 door bell 1 mini mounted inside dash looking out front. 3 outside cameras mounted. Testing them now. So far they are working. I will post Pics soon.

Just purchased a new XL40C and very disappointed in lack of information that Forest River provides in the the so-called online owners manual. It is basically generic crap that doesn’t even apply to my motorhome. Are there other resources out there?

Hi. Picked up our 2018 Berk 39a. I like to drive with the rear camera always on. It let's me glance at my car on a trailer back there. Well, on my new rig the screen goes black after like 15 sec. If I touch it, it wakes up but then times out to black again shortly after. I went into the...

I called Freightliner to inform them our electronic dash in our 2021 Berkshire 34B is not turning on when the vehicle is engaged/engine turned on. They said there is a recall on this. Have any of you experienced this and was it a simple fix? We are far from a Freightliner location currently...

Hello all. As usual I’m always looking for the next possible MH. My question is about the chassis. I’m looking around the 2013-2019 years. it looks like they use the freight liner XC chassis as well as being a raised rail chassis. Also are these independent front suspension. The freight liner...

I am about to buy a Berkshire 38a (if anybody has one...) I noticed that there was a chance in the electricity during the MY2017. What kind of implications did that have? Is this important? Also, was the Trim Aqua installed in all 2017 models? Thanks!

What a coach! Took delivery 10/19 in Belton Mo and headed to Florida before turning west for home. First night we stopped at Sliver Springs RV Park in West Plains, Mo. very nice park, great dog park, gravel sites but nice 90ft pull through so didn’t have to unhook the toad. We were late...

This report discusses the updates I made to the solar panel system of my motorhome. The solar panels are often given the name “photo-voltaic,” with the acronym PV. An earlier 2015 description of my installation is at...

Hi everyone, we have decided to trade across from our 2023 Thor Tuscany 40RT (terrible quality unit to be honest) primarily due to the crappy spare couch in there not letting anyone taller than 5' sleep on it (it's a 66" jack knife - pretty useless for anyone over 5' tall). Anyway, ignoring all...

We are considering a bunk model to change over from our current coach as we have a lack of sleeping options. The Berkshire XLT 45A is a pretty nice layout as it has all the sleeping options we would want but I am concerned when I look at RV Insider reviews as that brand gets really low scores...

Hello, Staying at a park without cable, can't seem to locate the local TV antenna switch on my rv, anyone know where it might be? Thanks

Looking for a plumbing diagram anyone have one or know how I can see one. TIA
