Does anyone know the cost to repaint a beaver 35'? I am looking at one that needs to be re clear coated over one of the two colors or possibly the etire coach repainted, not sure.

Also, do these coaches ever delaminate? I was told NO by the seller.

Thanks for any help.

Try zep or red max pro, much cheaper, and you'll be amazed at the result


Alaska is next! Still trying to fit the pontoons to the RV so We can get to Hawaii!

Regarding your delam question, they are all fiberglass with internal steel or such framing with foam insulation..delam coaches used a luan foam filon type sandwich....consider yours built similar to a boat, with different framing materials....delam occurs for several reasons, and on the filon wall types, high temps such as with darker decals would cause separation, as would moisture infiltration, such as below a window..in these cases, when the filon wall was cut at the mfg for windows ect, it puts the bond at risk, and is a common failure point. Cant say delam WONT happen, but is usually localised due to improper fg layup, and is fixable, and wont cause a critical problem

What year is your Beaver? I believe Beaver coaches had aluminum sidewalls until they were purchased by Monaco. Aluminum siding does not delaminate.
Check you sidewall material.

I believe the buttom quarter of the coach is aluminum, just like my Scenic Cruiser. The upper three quarters is fiber glass.
