Does anyone else have a problem with proper sealing of the outside compartments on their Pace Arrow?
This has been an irritation for me from the getgo. The Kitchen slideout in particular. On my 36B Pace Arrow the compartment doors do not even come close to sealing when they are closed. There's really no adjustment either. I think Fleetwood did a very poor job when designing these door seals and latch mechanism's.
When mine are closed they are snug at the top and about half way down. But further down and all along the bottom the door is at least a 1/4" away from contacting the bulb seal. And there is no way to adjust the door to go in any further. The cheap plastic catches (which tend to break easily) latch very loosely to the metal U-shaped retainers. The least they could have done was used a better and larger seal.
I've tried all kinds of things to seal these things properly with not much luck. I've been looking for replacement rubber seals that have a larger sealing bulb and so far haven't found any.
If anyone knows of a good supplier, please let me know.
