Eric,

They did make Patriot Savannah's with side radiators.  On my coach the vents are there at the left rear with only the transmission cooler behind them.   I don't know what all my coach has been through in its life so it may have had some modifications.  According to Dave Atherton my engine was a replacement one so he can't tell me much about it.  I know that most things were left stock, but I do have a extra pair of shocks up front.  Fortunately the wiring harness seems to have been unmolested.  I guess that it is possible the replacement engine had a radiator change.  Mine is reported to be the 330 hp version, but who knows.  I know that it is a much peppier coach when it is not towing, and the temps are lower too.

Without the side radiator and accompanying fan how do they move air through the transmission cooler?

It has its own electric fan.

May have been, but the AC system was disconnected when I bought the coach and I haven't felt the need fix everything when I can run the generator and the overhead AC units.  I may get to it one day, but it one of my less pressing wants.
