History of the Beaver Brand?
Tommy Gibson:
I understand Monaco took over Beaver in early 2000's. Was my 2007 Beaver Contessa built in the Beaver Facility in Bend or was it built in another plant and where?
Steve Huber:
Tommy,
If it's got an OR plate near the entry door it was probably built in Coberg, OR.

Hey guys. Brand new here. Brand new to BAC, RVing, and this Forum. Any Forum, actually. Anyway, I have a 1994 Beaver Patriot Yorktown, 40' Diesel. I've been looking at all the history stuff and trying to figure out exactly when my coach was made. If you look at the NADA chart, the Yorktown didn't come out t'ill 1995. And there are two different brochures on the Patriot. One says Beaver motorcoach up top. And one has Beaver Motorcoach an SVC company....or something like that. Maybe Safari started on them too and they still had some original ones on the line being built. IDK. But if you look at the brochures, mine is the one with the black bra on the front(still looking for that). So, I guess it's a 94, And maybe one of the last ones built by Beaver before it got taken over?? Thoughts....
Joel Ashley:
Hi Thomas-
The date of manufacture should be on one or more labels low on the wall beside and behind the driver's seat. SVC you mean to be "SMC", for Safari Motor Coach, or Safari Motorcoach Corporation. That should be on the label also.

Thomas James:
Thanks Joel. Really looking forward to getting out and traveling around in this thing. I also heard that Beaver was going to start up production again sometime in 2018. I wonder if anyone knows any more about that. I would really like to be there if/when they crank them out. Again, thanks for the good info.
