 I have recently purchased a 1999 Patriots Thunder. The Thunder owners and Magnum chassis manuals were not included. I have looked over the site and I can't locate a link to them. I apologize in advance if I have overlooked their location I am new to this site and forums in general.  If anyone has an extra set of these manuals I would be happy to buy them or pay any expenses involved in duplicating them. The coach was completed Oct. 98 and registered as 99 Monticello.

You may also try the Safari owners forums for that info.  Magnum chassis were a SMC chassis.  I have a 10 airbag magnum chassis and have found it difficult to get specific info also.  Good luck.

Sam,

To access owner's manuals select Home on the Forum page (must be logged in).
Then page down to the Private BAC Members Only section.
Select link to Coach Assist; Owners and Equip Manuals.
In the first post, select the link to manuals.

If you have a Gillig chassis, here is a simplified electrical diagram.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/us15putll0k09xg/Beaver%20Service%20Manual%20%28Electrical%20Diagrams%29.pdf?dl=0

 Thanks Jerry and Steve
 I'll have a look at the Safari site and see what I can find.  I have looked over the BAC site and I can't find anything for my 99 Thunder. Hopefully someone will have one I can duplicate.

Sam,
You'll find that there are very little differences for chassis series, e.g. Magnum chassis are very similar regardless of year.

Sam I can email a copy of a 2000 Patriot Owners Manual in PDF format. It's 118 pages of fairly generic information but it is better than nothing.  I would suggest you peruse the digital copy and print only those pages that contains pertinent information.


I Cannot find your name and/or email address in the online membership directory. If you are not yet a member that may explain why you're having difficulty accessing certain information. However you were able to post your original email - so I'm confused...

Part of my confusion explained - you are so new a member it would appear some files are still awaiting updating. Welcome to BAC, the best resource for Beaver owners.


You should be able to access the membership directory and find my email address. If you send me a direct message I'll gladly respond with the Patriot manual if your interested...

        Hi Sam,

   Good talking to you today and congrats on your new '99 Thunder. I got to thinking rather than you drive down from Phoenix just for a manual, why not drive your coach down to my shop in Tucson and I'll give you a free customer orientation and a free 40 point safety inspection complements of joining our forum. Let me know.

I am pretty sure that I uploaded the 2000 Magnum C Chassis manual to the members area several years ago but I don't see it now.  Anyway, you can get it here: http://weisstravels.com/resources/2000+Magnum+C+Chassis+Manual.pdf

I do have the 2000 Patriot Thunder Supplement to the Owner's Manual, but it's fairly general info.  I've never gotten around to scanning it but if someone really wants it I'll make the effort.
