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. :)

    We got a Beaver Monterey a few years ago based on no DeF and how many reviews in forums. Man we lucked out with a well maintained 2 owner unit. I thought it was the one I'd buy until I upgraded but she's a keeper. And we spent so little, that upgrades are easy to justify. I feel James pride in finding the best RV value on the market. Congratulation James.

    James, I have been watching your inspections and repairs for a couple of years now and I just came across this video. I couldn't be happier for you because I purchased a 1999 Beaver Patriot Thunder 425 in Jan. of 2021 that had 43,765 miles on it, in immaculate condition as yours. l added 1300 watts of solar, a 3000 watt inverter and 60 amp charger with 4-100 amp hour Lithium Ion batteries so that I can camp anywhere I want with no hookups. I am so proud of my Beaver and my family loved the trip that we have took from Cali. to Montana and the trips to Monterey Ca. that we have enjoyed. Look forward to many more and I couldn't agree more that they don't build coaches like this anymore.

He passed 3 years ago, and this thing has sat in the same lot for what would be 5 years next month, if I weren't pulling out before the end of this month. Yours would make a much more serviceable full-time home - especially for a 64 year old with limited mobility. That is BEAUTIFUL! I hope you enjoy!

    I made my own magnetic blackout shade just like here in this video. But it wasn't for a RV. It was for my old college dorm tv room area that had constantly running florescent ceiling lights. We had no control over the lights in the common/tv room so if we wanted to chill and watch a movie at night the place is just brightly lit. So I went to Walmart, got fabric, attached magnets to the edge of it and it worked beautifully. We called it "lights out." So someone would say "let's get light's out so we can watch a movie." Anyway I like this guy's smile in this video. His excitement for this coach is contagious.

    They had one similar in bend when I was shopping and almost pulled the trigger but found a 06 mountain aire tag. I truly think these pre emission coaches are still some of the best made and thought out chassis and engineered to last. Nice find man, get yourself a radar detector now.

    Just finished our 1st year ownership of a 2001 Beaver Patriot, I spent 5 months upgrading, repairing, and polishing it up. My wife and I have been on the road full time for 6 months now and absolutely love this thing!!! I’ve been watching your channel for advice since we bought it and I’m thrilled that you bought one and have such good things to say. You’re absolutely correct when you say they don’t build them like this anymore, we wouldn’t contemplate trading in our Beaver for anything else! Enjoy the new rig! Love the vids, YOU ROCK!

    Holy cow. Beautiful. I felt you on this one. Two years ago when we fell in love with and bought our 2005 Ambassador. Now yours is obviously a couple of steps up from ours but you cannot beat three prior owners all of whom loved and cared for the rig. Cannot imagine how the paint held up so well as we are only California sun and have a bunch more checking under the clear. But hey only 60965 miles so may have suffered from under use, but we are making up for it with 14000 miles so far barring diesel price getting too much worse, we have between 8 and 10k on the calendar for this year. We think all the owners so far believed in the medical moto of first do no harm. Your rig has certainly been that way too. Congratulations.

    Hi James, that Beaver is incredibly awesome and beautiful! It's great to see how happy and excited you are about this motorhome....and I don't blame you. 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. I loved the longer, comprehensive tour. I look forward to seeing additional videos of the motorhome. Congrats and enjoy!!!!

    I am so proud of my 1998 Beaver Patriot Monticello. So I completely understand your pride. You talking about all the features make my buying decision back in November as you have said “a game changer.”We have just completed 7201 miles from Maryland to Fl to around Texas to New Mexico into Arizona where we had our windows done in mesa at auto boss for snaking. We then went back through NM to Ks to Ak to Al to Fl where we are now. Time to change the oil and all the filters. You should do a video on maintenance for these Cat engines. You did very good on your beaver. Congratulations.

    I can tell how excited you are about owning this and I would be too! I'm almost 30 and as much as these shiny new RVs look cool to me because there sparkly and brand new, they also look cheaply made, much like a lot of newer things that are coming out nowadays. I'm planning on potentially moving into an RV full-time and this is perfect besides the fact it's not a 5th wheel which is what I'm looking at the most. It's still absolutely beautiful! Looks like it was really well made both inside and out, and that's what a lot of newer RVs are missing. You truly hit the jackpot!

    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.
