I have a 97 Beaver Savannah with 146,356 miles on it. I am the original owner and I changed the pads just about 8000 miles ago at Pete's tire store in Gardena. They said I could have gone another 30,000 thousand miles at the rate they were wearing. I keep my Pac-Brake on most all the time. Most of my trips have been to Ames, Iowa from California to see our Grandchildren, and the coach has not had any break downs in the last 17 years. I believe good maintenance, and proper use of Pac-Brakes have been the results of my brakes pads lasting so long.I have had quite a few coaches in the last 45 years ( Cortez, 2 of them, GMC, and others) and this Beaver Coach is by far the best coach I have ever owned. It runs better now then when I first bought it at the BSC location in Bend, Oregon (Beaver Factory at that time). I dread the day I have to sell it, but going on 88 the day will soon arrive. In the meantime I will see you all at Seven Feathers in September.
