Mid Door Beaver

I didn't even know Beaver made a mid-entry coach until ran across this one. If I were looking I'd be salivating.

I'm not sure if this has the 425 or 455 hp C-12 engine but either is a hot rod.

    We just replaced our '96 Allergo Bus with a '06. I really miss the mid entry and driver's door. Loading for a trip is a real pain! Jumping out to buy fuel was way easier! Oh well, other wise it was a good move for us. Bob

    mid to upper end diesel pushers dont have driver doors

    My friend has a 2001 beaver PT 450Cat.nice unit,well built although i find mid entry is a waste of floor space and would not want one.
    just my opinion.I know some people like them.I guess its like white cars and black cars some people love them and some hate em



    Oh I get it, the Newmar Mountain Aire is a low end coach..


    seriously did not know a mountain air diesel pusher was available with drivers door.Never seen one nor heard of one.I looked at several newer to new ones this winter when i was thinking of upgrading
    of course Iam talking semi current to current models not something produced 13 or 14 years ago.I have looked at a lot of A,s over the years and have only seen gasser units with drivers door

    My Vogue is Mid-entry and it works out well for us. With that being said, the price I paid for it close to 11 years ago, I didnt much care where the entry was.

    That's beautiful! We have a 2002 Newmar that is mid-entry and I haven't seen any others. Still looking just because!
