Notes
From page 252 of the manual, which prints one set of engine and tank figures for the whole model line: 425 hp at 2,300 rpm, 1,250 lb-ft at 1,400 rpm, 31-gallon propane tank, 4.30:1 rear axle, 160-amp alternator. Page 253 (https://www.manualslib.com/manual/958569/Beaver-Contessa.html?page=253) gives the generator as 8.0 kW on 38- to 40-foot models and 10 kW on 42-foot models, so the generator field is left empty. Chassis name, transmission model, floorplan names, lengths and slide-out counts were not on the pages read. The Beaver Ambassador Club's library also lists a 2008 Contessa owner's manual and wiring diagrams (members only).
