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!

Do I or will I ever have an RV? Nope. Did I just watch this entire video just because of his smile and infectious happiness....yep, sure did! Now i want one,lol
LOL Thanks!
DITTO ....DITTO.....DITTO !!!
totally ... same lol!!
AWESOME job thanks for sharing
😂😂😂😂😂
My face is hurting from smiling because watching you is like watching a kid in a candy store! I feel your pride of ownership and I'm very happy for you!👍👏😊
Thanks Lee! I am very proud of it
you took the words literally out of my mouth!
It's great to see somebody appreciating something, knowing it will continue to be well taken care of.
@@JohnO318 As well with classic autos, care and upgrades are the most
Important to something lasting. A outstanding RV for sure.
It's beautiful! I'd be proud too. Enjoy! : )
Its hard to tell which is better, the rv or how much this guy appreciates it.
The RV :D
🤣🤣🤣🤣
His face expressions remind me of Jim Carrey 🤣 love it ❤
So tired of his strutting, I couldn't finish the video. Hey, each to their own.
i think the latter
Don't feel like a brag, I just bought a 1999 fleetwood south wind. 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. :)
I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran. I love this RV. It is nicer than my apartment.
Thank you for your service, you're awesome!!❤😊
I have to say, the Americans know how to build RVs. This vehicle is beautiful and I love the commentary. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
We did. Not currently. Everything is junk now lol
I love it when people can't stop themselves from smiling even if they try. A sign of true happiness. Congratulations on finding your dream RV.
Thanks for watching!! :)
It helps the sun is in his eyes 🙂
Like so many others have stated... I watched this video till the end not only because it is an amazing rig but because YOU were such a joy to watch... you are such a proud owner and im sure you will enjoy and care for that beautiful machine for many years. Only someone who has worked on and understands these rigs would be able to know THE ONE. I have watched a few of your videos as I seek info for my hopeful future purchase. Your knowledge and great personality make your videos worth watching. Thank you for such a great video and experience.
I don't hv an RV. I may never hv an RV. I am watching this video mesmerized by the quality of the rig and the passionate delivery of all the details. She's 🎉a beauty- Congratulations 🎊 👏
Thar was the only other manufacturer thar built their own chassis. Now Newell Coach is the only one left in the USA that builds their own chassis. 😮😊
WOW! 21 years old and looks better than 2022 RVs. The solid, rich cherry wood is something you won't find on most RVs. You have a beautiful RV....
I'm always happy to see it!
Nothing better that a vehicle that was loved and cared for

Awesome Content! 🎉
Dude, it’s been 2 years and until this day, we have yet to see a better RV! And we are only halfway through with the video!
And you sir, should be ashamed of yourself, ASHAMED! (Sarcasm) Showing off this wonderful vehicle like you are. (Sarcasm) The nerve of you sir! (Sarcasm) Do you regret posting this video?
Thank you so much for sharing! ❤❤❤
Now I’m in the market for this specific vehicle especially.
The more I look and the more I see, the more I realize how right you are about this coach in every way. This coach is in the sweet spot, with quality features and price. You found it.
I appreciate that!
It is perfectly acceptable to have pride in such a nice machine, it isn't boasting. I like the lengthy description, because it gives me more ideas of what to do to my rig (or future rig).
I wrote him almost the exact same thing without even reading yours!! Great minds think alike! lol
Exactly, i do not even have an RV but can appreciate a great find in anything like this or anything else and a man or woman who can truly appreciate it and explain to others why... this is definitely not bragging at all
This is absolutely THE BEST RV I've ever seen and I've been "window shopping" for many years, decades even. Excellent attention to detail in the upgrades and video as well. I don't blame you one bit for the immense joy you have with this purchase.You scored a diamond with this purchase. Enjoy 🎉
Wow, thank you!
I do agree, A Diamond. I have seen many, subscribed to many RV channels, and this one is the Best one I have seen to date. Don't know how much, and I don't want orneed to know. 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! Hope you have enjoyed and keep enjoying this one of a kind RV. Thanks for sharing this. It also gives me and helps me with ideas of my own, and what to look for, if I ever decide to by one. Have a Safe, Blessed and Wonderful day. Angela from eastern North Carolina but live in Colorado now. Oh, and this is probably my 4th or 5th time watching your video...😊
This reminds me of when we were looking for our class A motorhome. Beaver was desired but out of our price range. We ended up (happily) with a 1996 32 ft. Rexhall Aerbus. Now, it's time to give someone else the pleasure of owning/using our rig. I'm putting it up for sale this year.
I don't own an RV, and will never be owner of one, for some reasons, but I watched the whole video, and boy... the pure happiness of this guy, making a careful, detailed review of his new acquisition is mesmerizing, and getting that one is such incredible, almost mint condition, even more, the past owners really did took care of it, and the minimal blemishes that it has is something even more astonishing.
You can bet that this guy will take care of it, as much as the past owners did, congratulations and may it will last you a long time, problem free
I understand you thanking us for sticking around through the lengthy tour, but you're teaching us what to look for in quality builds and upgrades. I'm working on a van build, and your channel helps me understand and calibrate my thinking to a higher quality home. It's not about the specific items you point out- it's about the reasoning behind it that adds to my my knowledge and lean to forward thinking.
You absolutely deserve to have an RV that nice and that well cared for. You have nothing to be sorry about. If it wasn't you that got it, it would've been someone else. The great part is, you know how to work on all of it, and how to continue to take great care of it. Enjoy every minute of using it and having great travels.
Congratulations on your recent acquisition. Clearly The Good Lord above has landed a huge, golden RV upon you. You, being an experienced RV Technician, has the experience and capacity to appreciate what you have, and how well it has been kept up to be in tip top condition. This goes to show you that age is no barrier to quality.
Good score dude. You probably got a smoking deal on it as well. Don't feel too bad about sharing your enthusiasm. You know what they say, "If you got it, flaunt it". Being an RV tech, you are the kind of guy who appreciates this kind of find. Maybe the universe was waiting for a humble person like you to come along. That Beaver's got some good vibes, and many more miles to go. Good Karma to you and yours. Happy motoring!
It is always such a pleasure to watch someone whose hobby, work and passions all line up. Enjoy your new toy!
This coach is in unreal condition and the fact it's been enjoyed and still in that condition and the condition of that roof wow! Great purchase James! Had to have been stored indoors. Extremely personal I know but would be interested in what you paid for this coach.
I looks like all of its owners have cared for it a lot and its most likely had its place that has kept it out of the weather when its not used.
WHAT A FIND! I'd love to know the cost as well. IM ABSOLUTELY GREEN with envy.
I’d love to know the price as well! Come on James, let us know ballpark🤣
Its likely in the 60-70k range.
How delightful to see a magnificent vehicle go to a man who truly appreciates and can maintain it. Hope you and your family enjoy it for another 20 years. A true classic.
I just have to say this is the best RV tour video I've seen. Your attention to detail is really nice, and I appreciate the little details in your video production that some may miss or take for granted (like the transitions on the underbody lighting and the driving view for the passenger side windows). I know what goes into making a good video, and your skills are second to none.
You obvious pride and excitement over your awesome RV find is refreshing and heartwarming.
I've liked and subscribed, and look forward to watching all your videos!
Thank you Dave! That's very kind of you to say--I think of my editing skills as self-taught and novice but I appreciate the compliment! :)
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.
This RV is in great shape and in good hands!
Your enthusiasm for your beautiful RV is palpable... please don't apologise for it! 🌟I wish you many, many happy hours in your new home away from home! 💝
Thanks for watching!! :)
James I am very happy for you, your exuberance comes through in the video. Glad you found it, now you need to make sure you take time and use it. It does look beautiful. I love the cabinets, I do not like the really shiny high gloss they are not for me, love the cherry look. I hope you get time to enjoy it often and have fun. I did not think you were bragging or anything, just a happy person that really is proud of the coach.
2000-2007 Beaver and, later Monaco motor homes are among the highest quality, most comfortable coaches ever produced. I’ve had a Signature and a Marquis. You have to be able to pay cash, as they’re too old to finance. You also have to be willing and able to either work on them or pay for someone else to. They are all old enough that lots of stuff will need repair or replacement.
Congratulations James! I think that through the whole video, you had the biggest smile on your face I’ve seen in any of your videos. As you well know, the worst thing you can do to an RV is not use it. So, enjoy it. Respectfully, Kevin
James, this is an absolutely wonderful coach. I can understand your pride in it. Congratulations.
Watching how excited you are about this RV is so freakin awesome. I'm so happy for you!
Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I'm jealous! My husband and I bought our 2003 in 2017, and the day we were leaving on our first trip, he collapsed. We were going to be full-timers. 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! (And the pride of ownership shining in your eyes shows that baby is in good hands! We know she will be well taken care of!) Congratulations on the treasure you have found!
Thanks for watching! :)
Melody that’s so sad about your husband I am sure you guys were looking forward to your future together in your new RV stay strong and God Bless you.
Hi, I love your channel. I have a question I want to upgrade my headlights. I have a 2002 HolidayRambler Scepter they look very similar to the beaver. Do you think they will fit ….. god bless you great videos all the time
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.
No pricing for us?
How much ?
@@williamcarty8900 yea, how much?!!
Man, you are a lucky dude. What, may I ask, did you have to put out for the one you bought?
My husband found you when researching a 2005 Monaco Camelot 40PDQ that we did indeed buy, in part thanks to you. Your excitement for your coach is a beautiful thing to see. Congratulations!! Our rig needs some work and my husband has already reached out to you, to which you responded right away (regarding our missing screen door). We love your videos and hope to meet you someday soon! Please keep doing what you do!!
Congratulations on your new rig. Great walk through. Learned a lot from you pointing out all the good of a classic unit. The care of this DP is extraordinary. With all you do for those of us that appreciate your vids, I am very happy for you.
Joe
Thanks Joe!
Happy man!🤩older stuff it works! Yay! Classic, love the icons all over the place… and padded - smart. Love the updates.
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.
Awesome video and RV. I mean this in the most innocent way when I say you seem to have a great personality and someone who I could hang out with and drink a beer. My wife and I are thinking about fulltime RVing and that's how I found your video. Thanks again.
Thank you!!
I remember the inspection on it. That is a beautiful Rig no matter how old it is. Congrats on getting it. Now it time to injoy it James!
Just found your channel. The RV tour was enjoyable and your pride in ownership is well deserved. A beautiful home, to many happy travels and journeys.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for Watching!
I must say i thought i saw some very nice RVs until i saw this one it is the best ive ever seen in my life 2001 and to know it one of a kind year older then mine the one i own all i can say they don t get any better. oldy but goodie . And im realy set on finding that year .
Great to see your coach bro! That is in the wrapper!! We need to get some RV Drag races going 🏁
Absolutely!! Glad you got to enjoy it!

If RV drag racing ever takes off. Please notify us in Tennessee. I will not miss a one. Lol
Congrats , that unstoppable smile of a truly proud owner. Super nice rig.
Nice! The part that made laugh was near the end about the higher end coaches still have plastic ac vent covers!! I don't give a rats a#s about that particular feature as long as the AC works!
That is an amazing RV! And you should be damn proud to own it! And with the owners pride that you show in this video it looks like this RV has found the right home and the right owner. Cheers!
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!
Thanks for watching! :)
That’s a fantastic coach! My first coach was a 2000 Safari Serengeti that was almost identical to yours. I absolutely loved that coach, such quality that’s hard to find today! Congratulations on your find, you will love your time in it!
Those are great RVs too! Thank you!
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!
I really appreciate all that the previous owner did for you.
Congratulations on the new Beaver. I just bought a 2002 marquis emerald three months ago. Makes me feel good to know you speak so highly of Beaver. Thanks for showing us.
Those are even a whole level better than this for sure. absolutely top of the line unit you got!
@@AZExpert how do get in contact with you to do a inspection? I’m looking at a 2001 beaver marquis 42’ with the 500 cat engine I believe it’s the “amethyst” model it’s in Phoenix Az.
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.
this is the BEST RV I have ever seen. the amenities --- what can I say? LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!
“LOVE THE BEAVER” as a person that loves quality but has limits on justified expense I was quite impressed with your coach, I did some shopping and was pleasantly surprised definitely a hidden gem.
Wow! A Tiffen AND Beaver fan boy! I can't imagine a better scenario for finding the best Class A diesel pusher out there than by doing inspections. Congratulations, James. You've got a keeper.
You are so humble and appreciative.
I hope you enjoy your RV, and how many places!
I am drooling over this magnificent beast. I would sell everything, park it on a wooded lot and live there til I die. Congratulations on your magnificent acquisition!
Thanks for watching! :) We love it too
I am very happy for you. May you create many pleasant memories in your Beaver. Your employer is a lucky man to have someone like you to depend upon. The world would be a better place with more people with your enthusiasm and love of life.
I'm my own employer :)
@@AZExpert What's your business.
Your love for this machine is beautiful to watch - thanks for sharing. Only someone who works on them can appreciate all the small details that makes this YOUR castle, enjoy!!! #Beaver 🤓
Thanks for Watching!
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!!!!
Thanks so much!
Your enthusiasm is palpable ❤ you definitely found a treasure, and your appreciation and care honors the previous owners and the people who designed and crafted this beautiful RV❤
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.
That Kansas to Alabama via Alaska was probably a doozie of a drive! lol (j/k. Pretty sure it was AR, or your odometer is a little off). Either way, that was a nice trip.
Gotta love the Oregon craftsmen and women back in the day. As well as the folks in Washington who made the Chinook brand. Congrats James. USE IT and enjoy it. Well done.
The magic that was happening in central Oregon in the 90's was pure genius that will most likely never be seen in the Rv industry ever again.
You can say that again Bubba, this kind of craftsmanship holds up over time.
We just bought one and we love it 😍
Congratulations on finding such a great & time-tested coach James. Beaver Coach was truly a second-to-none manufacturer. The quality is amazing. You can tell the owner not only was a regular user of this coach, but was also meticulously maintained and upgraded over the years... and don't even get me started on that C12 Cat Engine. You hit the jackpot my friend & no one deserves this more than you do!!! 👏👏👏
Well said!
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.
I worked at Beaver in 1999-2000 and did plant tours and I have forgotten a lot about the construction of these coaches but it still impresses me on how advanced these coaches are for quality and convenience of use. We bought a 2001 Marquis in 2016 and I still feel as excited about it as you were when making this video! Truly the cream of the crop! Ours had a lot of aftermarket upgrades as well for livability and we are grateful for them. I'm really glad I came across this video!
Great video, I've owned a 2000 Beaver Marquis and loved it. Sold it and upgraded to a 2007 Beaver Marquis Moonstone III because of the layout. Beaver made a solid RV and it shows through time. Keep up the great video's James. Greetings for Tucson, Az and look forward to your next videos.
Congratulations very nice love the bay doors. U can see the previous owner really took pride in ownership.
We agree!
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.
James, you look and sound like a Christmas morning with this rv.
Congrats on such amazing find . Definitely take us for a drive.
What a sweet coach. I've always loved Beaver interiors and overall quality. The beaver symbol..is still the coolest badge in the RV world.
That is one sharp rv sir!!! 🤩
If i owned it i would be mighty proud. Thank you for sharing!
I truly love your RV better than all the others you've shown. I much prefer the older models. Just as you mentioned, there are many high points that make this RV unique. I'm jealous! Congratulations!
James, congratulations on your new RV your like a kid in a candy store😎. I know you have had this for a little while now as Andrew let the cat out of the bag a little early😂 Could not happen to a nicer guy, very happy for you.
Wow what a beautiful RV. Have fun stay safe
Andrew can not be trusted! 😂
This thing is impressive! We have a 2000 Country Coach Affinity and we love it
Your mechanic qualified details and sincere enthusiasm makes for the best RV video. Had you been trying to sell this RV, it would be sold instantly. RV sales folks can use your video as a bible for sales presentations. Thanks for making the video and enjoy your great find - you and RV deserve each other!!
Wow! Thanks :)
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.
Absolutely Love My HR!!! They are built really well also...just here to see another brand's set up lol
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!
Congrats and thanks for such a thorough tour. I'd never heard of the Beaver brand before.
Thanks for watching!
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.
Oh woow... You're joy is just contagious, this was such a great buy. Congratulations. I'd love to have one of these
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 those doors
Aww Man, that's nice! I'm happy that you're so happy 😊 and, it's cool knowing that you're going to take care of her. Thanks for showing us!
Thanks Suzanne!! :)
Congrats I’m happy for you also you’re showing your viewers they don’t have to have a Prevost or Newmar to have a nice RV that you’re gonna be proud of and enjoy that’s a beautiful couch but I’ve got to admit the plastic on the carpet reminds me of back in the day when people covered the furniture in plastic (you can see it in the TV show everybody loves Raymond his mothers house)
My mother use to keep the plastic on the lamp shades. Very funny. The thing about motorhomes is replacing the carpet is very simple and quick. It is probably easier to put down a new piece of carpet than to clean the old.
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.
Thanks for watching!! :)
it's beautiful... and it needs someone like you to appreciate it. congratulations... hope it brings you joy for many years.
I know it will! Thanks!
compared to todays RVs, you can't help but notice how the quality has gone down, and how cheap they look. This looks so solid and radiates reliability. It looks like a real house inside, love the large kitchen area. Wishing you many happy miles with it!
Thanks for watching! :)
I like Beaver!
Wow you lucky dog!! That is so impressive,the upgrades and factory attention to detail. Is so awesome,man I want it!! Clean impeccable.
It's the best!
Great video. Having owned two Motorhomes (1-33', 1-40') I can appreciate all the little upgrade and standard (but high-end) features that you showed. One little concern I hope you might go into a little more detail is the condition of all the mechanicals. Especially the milage on the engine, as the 180K whether that is a lot or not.
Thanks again and glad you got a great deal.
I will go into more depth in later videos. These are meant to go for much longer than that and this was well taken care of
@@AZExpert What did you pay for it? Operatiional cost effectiveness compared to other new and used comparable RVs?
Congrats on the nice Beaver. I just bought a 2001 Beaver Marquis Emerald that is 42' with the tag axle and the 505 HP CAT. It amazes me how many more features the Marquis has compared to the Patriot Thunder. Mine has two previous owners that always stored the coach inside. It needs some upgrading since it is completely original. I live in it full time and get to enjoy it everyday. I'm just going through and servicing all the systems to make it perfect.
Do you know how to pull the in dash heater core? Mine has a small leak and I feel like they installed it before the front cap went on.
I’m looking at a similar 42’ with the 500cat motor, it’s a 2001 amethyst I believe.. how do like yours? Anything you’d recommend to check? Likes dislikes? I’m currently trying to find mr Az experts contact info ?? I’d like to have him do a inspection!
I’m jealous. It’s a pleasure watching you show it off, and obviously enjoying showing it off.
Congratulations!! It's a dream come true!
Love it! You are just so happy giving us all a tour of your great place! It is in pristine condition and you are so fortunate to be it's new owner. Enjoy every minute with your great buy!
Thank you so much!
All other RV representative pale in comparison to this gentleman. Extremely knowledgeable, professional and dedicated. Never have I seen such enthusiasm about a product. He very well may have a stiify.
I didn't, I'm far too professional and dedicated
I have a 98 Chinook myself and I get the love this guy has for his ride.
Nicer than a lot of homes people live in! Love that you’re so excited about it. Congratulations and enjoy your new rig.
Congrats on a BEAUTIFUL RV!!! I'm quite jealous!
