Pre-Install Checklist

Good to Know
Berkshire hardware is not stated.
Berkshire cockpit chairs often swivel, so straighten the belt after turning them.
Order two Berkshire belts to match both chairs.
Tug each Berkshire belt to confirm it locks before trips.
Berkshire coaches feature large slide-outs and residential-style furniture, and their cockpit chairs typically swivel to join the living area.
A Berkshire purchased used may still be under warranty for some items, but belts damaged by pets usually are not covered.
Berkshire owners who tow a car behind spend long days at the wheel, which wears the driver belt latch plate.
The 2017-2021 Berkshire belt is separate from Seatbelt Planet's 2012-2016 Berkshire listing, which we also carry.
Rodents can find their way into a stored Berkshire and chew webbing, so check both straps after storage.
Neutral webbing tones such as gray and tan suit most Berkshire cockpit chairs.
Berkshire coaches typically ride on a diesel pusher chassis with air suspension, which smooths the ride for both cockpit chairs.
Berkshire passengers who swivel to face the living room while parked should turn back and straighten the belt before the coach moves.
A Berkshire purchased from a rental fleet often has heavy belt wear for its age.
Owners adding aftermarket seat covers to a Berkshire should make sure the belt still passes freely.
Berkshire buyers often inspect the cockpit closely, and a fresh belt shows the coach has been cared for.
A Berkshire that has sat for months may have a belt that is slow to retract until it is replaced.
The Berkshire name in Forest River's range has long signified a higher-trim coach than the brand's gas models.
A Berkshire's tall cockpit and wide windshield give a panoramic view, but also let in strong sun that ages the straps.
Forest River's network of dealers is large, but Seatbelt Planet's belts give Berkshire owners a direct alternative for this one part.
Berkshire cockpits often include a fold-out desk or table on the passenger side, so the passenger strap should be kept clear of it.
Berkshire owners in snowy states who store the coach indoors still find dried webbing after a few seasons.
