98 Beaver patriot Ticonderoga cat ing. 3126 magnum chassis,any body know were can I find a complete engine wiring harness.?

Wiring Diagrams for the 1998-2000 Beavers are scarce. I have not seen any. I have some 1984-96 and 2001-2010 diagrams saved.

The story is that SMC (the company the bought Beaver Motorcoach in 1994) did a major electrical update in 1998/99 (so those years got all new wiring diagrams) then in 2001 Monaco bought SMC/Beaver, and they used their own wiring layouts in 2002 up models. So the wiring diagrams for 1998-2001 are few.

Monaco didn't get (or want) the old SMC/Beaver diagrams, so they stayed with SMC (and disappeared?).

At least that's what I was told.

I do have manuals for most of the other years (see link in my signature).

If you come across any 98-2000 diagrams send me a copy.

Thanks and good luck.

I found some drawings for 1996-1998 SMC (Beaver) coaches. I added them to my collection (link in my signature).
I'm told the 1996-2000 wiring is all the same.

It appears that many (most?) of the drawings at that link have drawing dates of >2008 which would mean that they are for Monaco Beavers, not those from the SMC period. There are a few older ones mixed in but not many. Am I misinterpreting what I am seeing?

I own a 1994 beaver Marquis Le ( build date of March 1994) and have yet to find a wiring diagram that is remotely close to what is in my coach, but I keep looking.

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!

Can't help with that but wanted to say hello! Have fun and keep her between the ditches!

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

In the folder "1996-2000 SMC-Beaver there is a PDF named "1996-1998 SMC-Beaver Wiring diagrams". There are diagrams dated 1996 and 1998, and some dated newer (2007, 2011,2017?). I got them all from Jim's Safari website. Jim Exler says he has redrawn some of them - which explain the newer dates on the diagrams. Jim's Safari Motorhome Site

Those later dated diagrams were just redrawn older diagrams.

Joel, do you see anything wrong with the actual diagrams?

I didn't look them over real carefully, but one thing that got my attention was an Intellitec device that I was pretty sure I don't have. The Monaco coaches had major differences from the SMC ones and the changes came quickly after 2001.
