The Beaver line is one of the most coveted and comfortable Class A motor homes on the market. When we retired, a dozen years ago, we sold our house on the East Coast, and everything in it, and moved into our Beaver Contessa. I can't overstate how comfortable this motor home has been! With more storage than most small homes, we never felt like we were camping because we had everything with us. Her 400 HP Cat engine pushed us up over the highest mountain grades without feeling the tow car hanging off our bumper. We've entertained as many as 8 people (comfortably) and had friends and relatives stay the weekend with us on the comfy queen sleeper. She's big enough for privacy and small enough to slip thru even the smallest of small towns along the way. Her Onan generator assured we had the power we needed, no matter where we pulled over. The best part about a Beaver is the quality construction. Beautiful cherry hardwood cabinetry and ample storage in the the two oversized bays in the basement. If you can get your hands on a well loved Beaver, you will have a rig that still turns heads.

Fantastic floor plan for families of 4 to 6. Perfect for a family of 5 we were able to comfortably put a bassinet in the back bedroom with the double sided slide outs. The big kids loved their bunks with the TV/DVD players and having an extra bathroom made nighttime routine and on the road bathroom access great! Cons maybe every RV but you really have to focus while driving.

I will never buy another open range 5th wheel. We haven’t had it but 6 months and it had to go back 3 times to get fixed. Sold our house hoping it would be a good idea to live in this camper but it has been the biggest mistake we have ever made. AC was blowing warm air. They “fixed” that and then the Window starts leaking soaking the bed and everything under it, the heater was not even connected correctly there was a 3 inch GAP from the furnace to the silver hose.. trim is shitty and scrunched up, got it back the second time and a fuse blow and nothing works. Tried to repair it without having to take it back, but it’s still not working. Have been without my “home” 2 months so far, due to the poor quality of this camper. DO NOT BUY IT!!! I spent A LOT of money on it, all to have this many issues with it and never having it really sucks. Now I have to pay the camper payment AND rent for another place to stay while my brand new camper is getting repaired.

Let me start by saying I have had it for a year and it has 3500 miles of which 2800 have been back and forth from the shop. Had my first trip and to my surprise the living room bay was not sliding. Dropped off and when I got it back the rv had a water pump issue. Took it to get that and a check engine light fix. That was fix but now my storage bays lock with the remote but do not unlock unless you use the key. For a 300k plus vehicle I regret ever buying it. I can't wait to switch this rv. It's a beautiful concept but either I was sold a lemon or the functionality of it is horrible. Do your homework before you buy one of this expensive non working rv.

I decided to try Forest River. Big mistake. I bought a brand new 2022 Aurora off the dealer lot because of the floor plan and electric heater. I lived in it a week and noticed several leaks when it rains. One leak is from the roof into the bedroom. Numerous leaks from slides. I don’t understand how this happens when buying new. I would not recommend anything made by Forest River. There are cosmetic defects as well that I overlooked. My only hope is since it’s under warranty that the dealer and warranty company make things right. If you are looking to buy, steer clear of Forest River. I had to rate the warranty however I won’t know true rating until after I take it to the dealer on Monday.

We quite enjoy the layout! Having the extra large bedroom slide allows for ample closet and storage space. The only caveat being when you travel it's wise to move heavy items to the rear central floor. Quality. Many things are good but... within a year the bedroom slide floor was totally soft. Factory said bring it to them but that was unreasonable. Local repair shops wanted $4k plus - ridiculous. We self fixed under $200. Just like a boat, you need some ingenuity. Kitchen floor under the fridge also rotted due to the manufacturers use of garbage water line to the ice maker which called in the first year. Replaced with braided stainless and no problems since. All the caulking was garbage so we redid the entire unit. Full paint job is cracking mostly on dark paint surfaces. Keep on waxing! Overhead rear clearance light fell off and is impossible to find a replacement. Darn. My recommendation would be only purchase if you know how to fix lots of stuff! And good luck! FYI, our previous fiver was a Holiday Rambler Presidential 5 slide. Just as many issues plus it burnt down due to a fridge fire. Double darn!
