freestoneangler Report post Posted September 20, 2014 Hello, This is my first post on the forum. My wife and I are looking at a 2001 Beaver Monterey Trinidad, Magnum Chassis, CAT 330 w/Allison. I would love to hear from any Beaver owners (or prior Beaver owners) and what their experience has been. We like the "liveable slide" concept in that the coach floor plan is fully functional w/o having to squeeze your way around. If you want to just stop and rest, or wait until the morning to open slides and set-up, it affords that option. Also, we simply feel a bit more comfortable with a bit shorter coach and pulling our CR-V. Looking forward to tapping into the vast experience of the forums seasoned members. Thanks, Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted September 21, 2014 Bill, Welcome to the FMCA Forum. Don't have a Beaver, but do have a Magnum chassis with Caterpillar 3126 and Allison 6 speed. Very good chassis/drivetrain. Of course at that age, as with any complex machine, how it was maintained will have a lot to do with how it will perform for you.
