DISTINCTION
You’ve looked at other motorhomes,
but you always get that seen-oneyou’ve-seen-them-all feeling. Until
now. The 2009 Contessa grabs you
from across the lot with its deluxe
full-body
paint,
new
graphics
and enormous PanaviewTM 1-piece
windshield. And once inside, you
know why Beaver owners are the most
loyal in the industry. From its plush
furnishings, to its gleaming polished
surfaces, to its exquisite decorative
details, it’s all there. And that’s when
you realize — in the Contessa, the
only thing missing is you.
ART AND CRAFT.
The first thing you notice in a Beaver
coach is the beautiful wood cabinetry
and trim. Handcrafted from the world’s
finest woods, the details create a
stunning effect — and a level of quality
you won’t find anywhere else.

REFINEMENT
At the
heart
of the Contessa is its kitchen and dining
areas. Whether you’re preparing a romantic
dinner for two, or raiding the fridge for
late-night leftovers, you’ll enjoy all the style
and convenience of home. The polished
solid surface countertop gives you plenty of
workspace and is complemented by a beautiful
tile and Corian® backsplash. A legless dining
table completes the picture, along with two
cozy upholstered chairs.

you’ll luxuriate in a roomy queen bed or the
incomparable comfort of an optional king bed. In
either case, a Select Comfort air mattress makes a
great option for customizing your level of firmness
for a great night’s sleep. Spaciousness reigns in
the bathroom, too, with a large round one-piece
shower or an optional neo-angled bathtub.

POWERED BY Caterpillar ®
Behind the beauty of a Beaver Motor Coach
is the brawn of a Caterpillar® engine. The
legendary power and durability of a Cat® is
backed by a 5-year/200,000-mile warranty
with no deductible. No one else even comes
close to that kind of warranty. Plus, with
ACERT® technology, the Cat® not only is
the cleanest running engine
and fully compliant with all
EPA standards but also saves
you money with the lowest
operating costs in the industry.
CONTROL
At the helm of the
Contessa, every feature

Equipped with a steel firewall and steel
stepwell for added safety.
2
Three monitored leveling sensors (two
in the rear, one in the front) continually
adjust the air pressure within each air
bag to maintain a level ride and eliminate
nosediving, weight transfer, and floating
on curved roads.
3
The Cushion Air Glide suspension
features 10 gas-charged shocks and
10 air bags, 8 of which are outboard
mounted. (RR10S)

Tires 295/80R/22.5.
is organized to give you the utmost safety and control.
Highlights include the lighted, multiplexed Smartwheel®,
color rear vision with audio and optional GPS navigation.
A new feature this year is an in-dash stereo/CD player with
an iPod/MP3 player connection. New electric solar screens
eliminate dangerous glare at the touch of a button. Shown
below is an optional full pass-through slide-out storage
tray, for easy packing and unpacking.

Anti-Lock Braking System with front disc brakes and
rear drum brakes. Automatic Traction Control (ATC)
eliminates wheel slippage in slick conditions and
heightens control. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
gives you superior stopping power, especially on steep
grades. Together, these sophisticated systems offer the
very best safety on the road.
Frame rails are constructed of 3-1/2" by 6-1/4" by 3/8"
100,000 PSI steel for greater strength; a side-mounted
aluminum radiator and intercooler reduce weight, won’t
rust, and deliver better heat transfer than steel
cooling components.
Our exclusive raised rail design provides for larger full
pass-through storage bays with flush floors.

11 Multiplex wiring, used throughout the house, replaces
cumbersome bundles of wire with separate modules. These
modules communicate via a single wire, making
servicing easier and reducing the overall
weight of the RV. A service technician can
simply hook up a laptop directly to the
modules for easy troubleshooting.
