CocoVan Report post Posted February 1, 2014 2001 Beaver Patriot 37 Ticonderoga, 68k, 2 slides, hydro hot, auto Girard, W/D, garden tub, beautiful built in LCD TV's in front & bedroom, & the list goes on. Our third, & hopefully last RV. First was very nice Tiffin 30 gasser, second was poorly engineered & newer DP that we couldn't wait to get rid of - learned our lesson on quality mfg. Sought only CC & Beaver under 40' for Natl Parks we like as well as long term travels now that we're finally retiring. Got a call from Jon at BCS in Bend (had been up there last year to look at a 36' Patriot but it wasn't right for us) - Jon, Roland and the staff were absolutely great & courteous, you would have thought that we were buying the most expensive vs least expensive rig on their lot. Well, this one was just what we had been wanting & as soon as we saw it we knew that we were going to buy it & love it. I don't know who the prior owner was other than a Cat area manager in the NW. Everything was in great shape with many upgrades & changes - no obvious deferred maintenance. I own a chain of automotive oil change facilities & am reasonably mechanically knowledgeable and feel good about this purchase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

richardgood Report post Posted March 4, 2014 I have a 98 Patriot Ticonderoga. Thank goodness for mechanical aptitude. Learning RV systems has been a challenge, and I used to be Chief Engineer in the merchant navy. The one item which I intermittently have problems is the Norcold fridge, which periodically does not cool properly. The coach is lovely though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
