Hello well I just got back to Canada with my new to me used Beaver Patroit Thunder from Angloa Ind where I bought this Beaver. What a well built unit solid wood doors and cupboards.  I am very impressed. This in my first MH, been a 5th wheel owner for the past 10 years.  It is a completely different way to travel, and in such style. We are now working to set it up to our standards upstairs for the wife, me in the storage bays.  We had the dealer do some upgrades for us, like replace the living room carpet with laminate, remove the two burner cook top with a 3 burner one, remove washer and dryer, and have the cupboard converted to all storage, and an extra counter added to the end of the kitchen counter for more cooking space.  As a diesel mechanic, for me a must was a screen to protect that new costly rad.  Found some great plate screening heavy duty which I cover the complele opening to the rad, to protect it from stones bugs leaves and all kinda junk that get sucked in from the fan.  I love it if I knew how to post picture.  I would show you all, but for now words will have to do.  Thanks to be able to share.

Welcome Michael and Gail.

Your idea of having a screen over the radiator should be of interest to folks, considering a trek to Alaska.  Posting a picture would be a good thing.

I might even reconsider another trip to AK, if I had a radiator screen to protect it from the "road sealing gravel" and other Alcan road maintenance issues....

During my last trip in '04 I stopped in Tok, Ak for a fuel filter change. The shop guy and I were talking about radiator issues on the road.  He said his shop had repaired 120 radiators so far that year.  And I was talking with him the first week in Aug.

A good source of income that would be................

Edward Buker:
The photo question. This is an option using what is within Windows 7...Open a picture in windows by clicking on it. There should be an edit, organize, and share option or something similar. In my case I am using windows live photo gallery. Click on the edit, organize, and share option in the header. That will open a new program and you will again highlight the photo you want by clicking on it. Click on properties in the header, then click on resize. A box will open to select a size. Click on small as an option, then click on resize and save. That will create a duplicate photo of the original that is a smaller file size and image. When using the forum you will browse and find the photo you resized in the folder that you used. You will click on the photo that is a duplicate which will have a file size in the footer of 800x690, that is the one you want. You may or may not have the exact same software but in general the method should be similar.

Another option may be to use an email program and send the photo to yourself if the email program has an option to resize it. When you receive the email, click on the photo and save it in a location you can find it. This will probably work best if you send the photo file as an attachment. Hope this helps.

Later Ed
