This is the Best RV Ever Made.....and I Bought It!!

  • This video has been a long time coming. Last year I did an inspection on this 2001 Beaver Patriot Thunder and instantly fell in love with it. While I was not in the market for a diesel pusher, I needed this RV so I purchased it. Beaver RV's were built in Oregon and were soon aquired by Monaco in 2002. Post Monaco Beaver Coaches are really just clones of Monaco products, but this is top tier original Beaver manufacturing and why Beaver RVs were so highly regarded. So join me as I take you on possibly a too long of tour through my, new to me, 2001 Beaver Patriot Thunder as I try to explain why it is the best RV made and still outshines $1 million and up luxury RVs and Bus conversions to this day 22 years later.
    Thanks for watching!

The owner must have been a pilot because everything has been well documented in logbooks all of the way back to when he purchased it in 1999. For 98 k. Everything looks brand new. Nothing has been used. Just maintained. I can't believe it. Picked it up for 10 k. so those finds are out there. Feel blessed. Thankful for recognized opportunity. Sometimes ya just get lucky. :)

Whatever he spent, was well worth the price....I especially Loved the Awning over the passenger side. The le gththwy went to cover most of the entrance to the RV, Amazing!

I'm so impressed with everything about it but especially how awesome and glossy the paint is. I also love the slide out roofs instead of the toppers. I think they should all have the molded roofs.

    Congratulations on your new to you Beaver James. Many of the items that you mentioned are also on our 2003 Monaco Dynasty and one of the reasons I keep it on the road and enjoy it vs. upgrading at this time.
    Many people think steel A/C ducted vents, simple electrical circuits and solid chassis are high on my must have list and less "fluff" to go wrong.
    We had a 1991 Beaver on the Gillig chassis and while it wasn't a power house, it was well built and was still in excellent condition when we sold it in 2007. The only thing I think we went kind of backwards in when we bought our 2003 Dynasty after selling our Beaver was the woodwork. While the Dynasty is nice, it isn't the same quality as the Beaver woodwork.
    Glad you found a gem that someone has taken care of.

    James, I’m proud for you. You definitely deserve it because you work so hard and go out of your way to help others. If you’re ever in central Florida let me know and I’ll take you to dinner.

      What could one expect to pay for this coach.

    @penney304 2 года назад +6

    Very impressive! If anyone deserves a find like this, you do. Because of all the honest information you provide the RV world. And also because of all the hard work you do fixing other people's RVs. Hope you'll have time to enjoy it!

    Congratulations! Lovely RV! I missed out on a Beaver Contessa that had lived most of it's life in a warehouse, only going on a few trips... Low miles, amazing paint, but if you don't move on it, someone else will, and it's gone!

    Love your enthusiasm, I have a 1998 Monaco Windsor and love it and it also has some nice features that my friends with new coaches don't have. Mine has the one suite slide and it works good closed.

      I toast you as I have the same. His rig is deluxe and mine has been in the weather. Dual pane windows on the south side are ruined and my tile is broken. I have removed the window treatments and changed the green carpet. I also changed the fridge but it is still a metal 98 Monaco Windsor 36". They are all the same now from that period but now we can remodel them as we like. Even make them electric drive. I believe it is a good base motothome with a lot of potential to refurbish.

    Congrats on your beautiful Patriot Thunder! I nearly bought one exactly like it in 2010 but just could not swing it at the time. It was and is the nicest coach I’ve ever seen and drove like my Corvette. (Almost). I found a 2001 Holiday Rambler Endeavor with the same floor plan and slide configuration as yours and while it’s not quite as fancy or powerful, it is also extremely well built and fully serviceable with both slides in. My favorite floor plan with all the windows and curb side booth dinette.

    I really enjoyed this video. Your tips are helpful and show your careful and thoughtful approach to driving a big rig. I admire you; you are tackling a big adventure with class. We share the same CAT engine in our rigs, it will treat you well. Thanks for sharing your adventures, we look forward to following you.
