I have been trying to figure out the best method to explain what is going on with me and my channel. The growth has been fun and steady and for the last 4 years my 2001 Beaver Patriot Thunder has been a very reliable and noteworthy companion. Unfortunately, I have found myself spread way too thin over the years and due to travel and driving other RVs, I have not been able to use it as much as I would have liked. While the RV has never let me down, I have also bee very vigilant to treat and maintain it and more importantly love it. When I purchased it and shared the experience I noted a few issues that would need to be addressed and I think I did everything I wanted to do except adding heated seats for the driver and passenger. We have gone through the RV modernizing it and updating to be almost comparable to a luxury motor coach and I think I have reached the limit before I really start re-designing the entire RV which is something I do not think should be done.
So I am starting a 2000 mile trip to do a final drive in the summer heat and test the RV one last time before I say good-bye. I hope I explain my reasoning well enough to understand that I have nothing but love and admiration for the 2001 Beaver Patriot Thunder, but I think it is time for me to focus on other project and life responsibilties.
I should have a follow-up walk through video out shortly.
Thank you for following along as I shared and incredible RV and lesser know RV manufacturer with you over the years. The RV performed flawlessly and will be missed!
Thanks for watching!
