2008 Beaver Marquis Motor Coach

"Our goal is to cater for those who want more -
unlike any other RV on the road today"

Beaver motorcoaches stand apart. Beaver say: "We were never going for mass appeal. At Beaver, our goal has always been to cater to those individuals who want some more. Something special. So we create luxury motorhomes that are literally like no other."

The 2008 Marquis has been enhanced with beautiful five-color exterior painted graphics and fades plus new floorplans including bath-and-a half layouts.

The 2008 Marquis comes in two lengths - 41'7 and 45' - and with a total of 5 floorplans. We show 2 of these floorplans below.

The base MSRP for the Marquis starts at around $559,000. Beaver make around 50 to 80 coaches per year and delivery time is about 2 to 3 months.

2008 Beaver Marquis 40 Pearl IV
This is the shortest Marquis with an overall length of 41'7".
This arrangement has 4 slides with several options. The queen bed shown can be replaced with a king, the dinette and chair arrangement can be replaced by a dinette and computer desk arrangement or a modified dinette with j-lounge arrangement.

2008 Beaver Marquis 45 Moonstone III

The Moonstone has an overall length of 44'11".
(These floorplans - to maximize the space and make them as easy as possible to look at - are not shown to the same scale of course ..)
The virtually full-length drivers-side slideout gives a wonderful arrangement with even the bed as part of the one slide. There are 3 slides in all, with a longer bedroom slide adding to the huge bedroom area, which has a fabulous walk-in wardrobe.

HL Roach : Owned 2000 Beaver Marquis......electrical nightmare.....other than that we liked the coach......it was beautiful.......2009 and we now own an American Eagle......so far it has been great.....

Thom R : We've had motorcoaches for 30 years and I just want to say that Beaver is the best we've had. I think we've had 8. We've had this 2000 Marquis since new and I would trade it for a new one but I think I wouldn't do any better. We've done 84,000 miles and they've been effortless with the 425 hp cat. No problems other than usual maintenance. We had air leaks on the magnum air suspension but we cured that (I did it myself). Great coach, perhaps the best. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5.

Richard : How about some new propulsion technology???

Ed H : Get a Beaver, they are the Lexus of motorhomes. I have 30 years RVing experience and I know you get what you pay for.
