Pilgrim International, Inc. is pleased to offer the RV Industry's first 5-Year Warranty on all flooring systems utilizing the CosmoLite composite substrate.
"Traditionally, water has been the culprit in the deterioration of most RV floors," stated Dave Hoefer, Co-founder and Chairman of Pilgrim International. "Even a small amount of moisture resting on the floor of a traditional camper can result in a soft spot, and ultimately lead to instability. The multi- million dollar investment in new materials and technology has paved the path to the 5-Year warranty; this is a clear and decisive indication that we have a commitment to the future of the RV industry. We stand behind our product and we are very proud to be the first and only RV manufacturer in the world that can offer such guarantees to the end-consumer."
Pilgrim began manufacturing floors utilizing the new CosmoLite composite substrates in October of last year. It has since been featured in many articles and publications, from transportation and travel magazines to environmental white papers.

2009 Marquis
The 2009 Marquis is not exactly a coach that is easy to get your hands on. “The response has been huge,” Gudger said. By huge, he means that every dealer with a 2009 Marquis on the lot hasn’t seen the coach stay there for more than a week.
“2009 Marquis is one of the most dynamic coaches Beaver has produced in a very long time.” -Adam Gudger
“I think the 2009 Marquis is one of the most dynamic coaches Beaver has produced in a very long time.”
To back up that statement, Beaver directs attention to some very big changes this year. One of the most notable is a technological improvement with a fancy name that brings a great deal of simplification. Multiplexing is a relatively new term in the industry, and it was introduced in Beaver models in the last few years. The term is used to describe a different method of electrical wiring. Multiplexing allows the electrician to use far fewer wires because multiple signals can be passed through a single wire. It cleans up run boxes for easier maintenance and troubleshooting, and on the user end, it provides owners with a well-labeled and more convenient system of electrical control.
Traditionally, the multiplex wiring has been used in the house, and the 2007 Marquis came with house multiplexing, but for 2008, Beaver engineers have extended multiplexing to the chassis as well.

2008 Beaver Contessa
“We took the best-selling floorplans from years past and combined them,” said Gudger. “You see the result when you walk into the 2008 Contessa.”
This year, Contessa offers five floorplans: a 38-footer, a 40-footer and three all-new 42-footers, all quad-slides. Returning floorplans include the 38 Huntington and the 40 Pacifica. The brand new floorplans include the 42 Westport, 42 Rome and 42 Milan.
The cockpit features a lighted VIP Smartwheel, audible turn signals, six-way OptimaLeather power cab seats with a closed pocket on the back, and a brand new automotive-style dash with a Bird’s Eye Burl instrumentation panel.
In the living area, Gudger is quick to point out that the overhead cabinets have also been redesigned. “It gives a feeling of better balance, plus we’ve increased storage [space],” he said.

“Vacationer owners are extremely loyal.” Kevin Atkinson, regional sales manager for Holiday Rambler said. And Vacationer owners stick with their Holiday Rambler of choice for good reason. Before 2006, Vacationer was known as a value-packed gas-powered coach. Then last December, Vacationer premiered in the ’06 lineup as a diesel pusher with the look and features to prove it. After its welcome by the public, the Vacationer is back for 2007 boasting the XL value package. It’s extra large on amenities while offering a price to tempt even the squeakiest of penny pinchers.

Like all members of the Platinum family, the 261XL will turn heads wherever it goes, thanks to its unique aerodynamic design and patented one-piece fiberglass body.
The new model, based on the 176-inch wheelbase E-450 Heavy-Duty Ford chassis, measures 26 feet, 10 inches long and only 10 feet, 5 inches tall (including roof-mounted air conditioner).
The low-profile design, hand-crafted construction, R-28 insulation and superior weight distribution combine to create a motorhome that provides all the comforts of home and handles like a luxury automobile.
This downsized Class C motorhome is available in two floor plans, a Club Lounge (261XL CL) or Side Dinette (261XL SD), with either gas or (optional) diesel engine.
