prewired for docking lights

Good morning or afternoon,

Would anybody know if a 2005 Beaver Patroit Thunder is prewired for docking lights?  

Thank you  :-/

Mike,

Brochures I have for the model one year before yours show no docking lights, nor are they an option.  The Marquis in '04 did have them, but not the Patriot.  

This doesn't answer your question, I reckon, and brochures are notoriously inaccurate since they don't reflect ongoing model changes during factory builds.  But I'd guess docking lights not to be on an options list, and either standard or not, since they require prefab ports in the body.  That said, I'd suppose no-option implies no prewiring either.

Now some Beaver out there with an '05 Patriot T will shoot me down with his prewired coach and/or aftermarket dockers.  :P

You could call Monaco and hope someone can answer the question, or try Beaver Coach Sales in Bend. : 1-800-382-2597, maybe Ken or Ty remembers.

Hello,

 I had ask this question a time before, as my 2005 is not prewired for docking lights.  I bought 4 from eBay, and a roll of 2 wire coated gray 14G wire and did the install myself. Four lights from eBay and a square dock light switch also from eBay.  Looks like a factory job.
