Thanks for the info. I found this (in the 2000 SMC Corp 10-K filing): PRODUCT INFORMATION BY SUBSIDIARY SOLITAIRE The Solitaire was introduced in the third quarter of 1999. It is built on Magnum monocoque chassis and has a tag axle design. The coach measures forty-five feet in length and is by far t...

Reading about the SMC history it says SMC was incorporated in 1986 and production began in 1987. The Trek line was introduced in 1991 (according the Wikipedia site on Trek).So what did SMC build in 1987-1990? I thought the Trek was the "first Class A" offered by Safari. Did SMC build any C...

Hi Gary, I've been researching the Beaver-SMC-Monaco history and have writen down everthing I have learned (of course there's conflicting info out there, so maybe it's not all correct) but this is what I learned (link to document https://1drv.ms/f/s!AtvAXw_lfqbToxXYREK9YdBP08Jn ) After Monaco acquir...

I was looking for a listing of Safari coaches by lineup (most expensive to lowest price) and could not find anything. I tried to put together what I found - but I could not find an official SMC product lineup publication. Does this look right (for Class A coaches)? It's tough as these models did not...

After posting that link to my file collection. I removed it. I was thinking no one would be interested and it was sort of off topic for this thread. But since you found it useful, maybe someone else will too - so here is the link again: SMC-BVR-Mnco Chassis and Suspension Info, History https://1drv....

BTW, why can't you just post a picture of the master cylinder on your '05 Beaver and match that up??? I information I'm looking for is not for my coach (I have a 2005 Patriot Thunder, which has full air brakes) so I can't post a photo. It was another Coach owner with a 98 Patriot that asked for hel...

The part number I was given for the replacement master cylinder and air chamber is N37216C
The item in the attachment above.

The Air-over-Hydraulic brake system used on the early Patriot is a Haldex Series III.

Some of the early coaches built from 1996 -2000 (maybe later) that where built on the Magnum Air chassis had " Air-over-Hydraulic " brakes where a brake treadle valve (or similar valve) was used to apply air to a brake chamber that applied (pushed on) the rod for the hydraulic master cylin...

If anyone has the Air-Over-Hydraulic brakes, can you post a photo of the master cylinder - booster assembly? I think I can find the manufacture if I have a photo of the setup. Someone said this setup used Bosch brake calipers. But I could not find anything on the master cylinder or air chamber boost...
