This weekend, we will conduct a pre-purchase inspection of a 1999 Patriot Thunder. The rig has about 100,000 miles - but appears to be in excellent overall condition.
I have started a list (now 3 pages) of things that I need to inspect and test. This list has all the obvious items (tires, heat, a/c, electrical, plumbing, etc.) that I could think of. We also intend to bring the rig to a Cat dealer to inspect the C12 engine and transmission.
What I'd like to ask the group, particularly Patriot owners, is if they know of any specific areas where these coaches have known problems. I'm sure the folks here have vast knowledge in what we might need to look for.
Any suggestions and/or comments would be most welcome.
Thank You
Jim
