looking for owners of 2004-2005 Pace Arrows
I'd like to make contact with others who own one of the new (2004, 2005) Pace Arrows so we can share experiences, problems, good things, etc.

Here is what Dometic says about winterizing ice makers
1. Shut off water supply valve to ice maker
2. Place a shallow pan under water solenoid valve
3. Remove inlet fitting to ice maker water solenoid valve & drain water from the supply line
4. Remove the plastic nut and water line from outlet side of water solenoid valve and drain water from the line. (DO NOT lose metal insert from plastic water line)
5. Connect compressed air onto the inlet fitting of the water solenoid valve. Apply AC power to the solenoid valve by forcing the ice maker mold assembly through several harvest cycles. Remove the plastic cover from the mold assembly. The bail arm must be in the down ("ON") positon. Start the harvest cycle with a flat blade scredriver inserted into the center of the small gear. Turn the gear countercloskwise. When the hold switch closes, the mold assembly will continue to opeate through the harvest cycle. During the water fill sequence of the harvest cycle the compressed air will blow out the water trapped in the solenoid valve. Repeat the harvest cycle operation several times.
NOTE: Up to 20 psig air pressure can be used to clear the valve. Damage to solenoidf can occur if AC power is applied for more thn 20 seconds.
6. Reconnect and tighten lines on water solenoid valve. Metal insert MUST be installed in plastic water line going to outlet side of water solenoid.
7. Dry out ice maker mold assembly with soft cloth. Place bail arm in the "UP/OFF" position
After reading these instruction I think I will just go to South Texas for the winter. It's easier! :D
