History of the Beaver Brand?

<< < (6/10) > >>

Bill Sprague:
I can also find away to email you the audio track of a 2010 presentation.  

Additionally, Tye Kelly at Beaver Coach Sales put together an interview event with Beaver founders a couple weeks ago. He posted here asking for questions.  My understanding is he hired video professionals and they are working on it.

Bill Sprague:
I saw this old topic in the sticky section and noticed there was not a link to the video I made of Mandy telling the Beaver story at Harrisburg. 

I apologize for the quality of the lighting and audio, but you can watch it here:  https://vimeo.com/75646929.

So far, 254 people have watched it!  Enjoy!

Jerry Emert:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_Motorcoach_Corporation  is a start.

Steve Huber:
The Wikipedia article is incorrect re the Beaver Solitaire. It was built in 2000 & 2001, prior to Monaco's acquisition. I pretty sure Monaco canceled the model w/o building any.

Bill Sprague:
I don't know how to do it, or who should do it, but that Wikipedia article seems to need some corrections and a lot more additional information.  It appears to be a quick research paper with the primary references being a few easy to find online newspaper articles.  There is a lot more to the story. 

Two things I saw on a quick read are that Navistar did buy the Beaver brand even though they elected to not produce any.  And membership approaches 2,000 people since most members are a "couple".
