Title: Radiator Composition?
Post by: George H. Wall on July 07, 2014, 10:00:23 PM

I have one of the last OLD (REAL) Beavers, before Monaco purchased them. Does anyone know if these have the aluminum or steel composite radiators? I can't get a magnet to it (side Radiator) because of AC and other coolers outside and inside of it.

Radiator itself should be aluminum.

Steve,

I'm not sure of that, I thought these SMC era coaches had copper radiators and then Monaco changed over at some point to the aluminum fiasco. I am not sure of all of this.

George,
Since your coach has a Cummins engine, it was obviously made by Monaco so I can not be certain, but the coaches that were made by SMC in that era had copper cores and brass side tanks.
