Technical Support / strange settling "bump"

« Last post by Ante Peros on March 06, 2026, 02:20:00 PM »

We have a 2008 Beaver Patriot Thunder (Brandywine) and have been parked and leveled for a couple of months. Everything has been running pretty smoothly, but when we get up inside the coach and move a lot of times there is a sort of "bump" and a slight movement in the coach- like it is settling. The hydraulics are down and we are level. The bump is sometimes barely noticeable but occasionally it feels like the whole coach has moved. Has anyone ever experienced this? I have checked and all 3 hydraulics are touching down. Any thoughts would be appreciated!  Thanks Ante

The CPU is back behind the cluster of wires, mounted to the wall, making it difficult to see. Keep looking, it is more than likely there. Removing the pilot seat makes the job a lot easier. As far as programming, Rick told me that the two new ones I received were updated with the newest updates. The ones on E-bay, from what I was told, are programmed for trucks and would be difficult to adapt to our motorhomes. Might ask Rick if that is something that might be possible. Good luck!

Hi Frank. Thanks for the prompt reply. I did send Rick an email earlier hoping he could help. Haven't heard anything yet. I thought I looked thoroughly for the cpu where it should be but I didn't see it. I'll look again tomorrow morning. Beaver coach sales, Mike thought it was located elsewhere but couldn't remember where.  I see numerous units on ebay but assume they would need specific re-programming. That might kill the project. Did you need to reprogram your 2 units? Any other thoughts would be appreciated. Take care. Mike

On my 07’ Marquis, it is located inside the left side switch cluster just to the left of the pilot seat. As of now, there are none available. Rick Youngblood was the go to, but last I heard, all of his stock is gone. I have replaced mine twice, so knock on wood, it keeps working. You can get the Cruise Control to work if you cycle the on/off switch 3 times, but the Collision Avoidance System will not work. Not the news you wanted to hear, but at least the CC will still operate. Good luck!

Roger,
The sensor output should be a resistive value so you should be able to check the gauge by applying an open and or a ground to the gauge input and see the gauge respond. The engine coolant sensor location is shown in Coach Assist / CAT & Allison Manuals / C9 Sensor Location Diagram/Part#s.

Your floorplan is different than ours so the location might be different, but…look in the multi-plex enclosure located in the bedroom wardrobe. There should be a 12-volt domestic fuse panel containing 12 fuses (not the Intellitec multi-plex modules). The toilet fuse is F10 (10-amp).

Technical Support / Coolant temp gauge doesn't show any movement

« Last post by Roger Milne on March 04, 2026, 11:13:18 PM »

So I took the unit out for a drive and albeit not more than an hour roundtrip, but my coolant temp gauge barely registered any movement. All the other pressure and temps all read fine, but I was wondering if there's an easy way to check the gauge or if I need to replace the temp sender in the engine block?
I bought this last year and drove it for a few hours before we parked it and have lived in it for the past 8 months and if I recall it did read although it was what appeared very cool. Not in the middle of the gauge like everything else.

Any suggestions??
