looking for owners of 2004-2005 Pace Arrows

I have had the squeaky dash plus every now and then when I hit a pretty good dip in the road I hear a much louder rubbing sound coming from the doghouse area. All the #10 X 1" screws that attach the dash to the dog hosue were either loose or missing. I replaced all of them with #14 X 1" screws (Lowes has them), and resealed the joint.

Here's the new issue that you might want to check. Under the coach, behind the headlights and in front of the wheel, there is some square tubing in the shape of a "Y" that is welded to a large piece of channel iron. This is where the doghouse mounts to the frame. Check and make sure the welds have not broken. Don't know if the Service Bulletin has them check the welds or not but a dealer in my area said they have seen a number of them broken on one or both sides.

Also in this area at the top of the "Y" there are some more of the #10 X 1" screws that work loose. I also replaced them with #14 X 1"screws.

You have to disconnect the ice maker water line in the back of the refrig and blow air on both sides of the electric water valve, one up to the ice maker and the other towards where the water comes to the valve. You might not have to do this but I believe in Murphy's Law that if something can go wrong, it will.

Good catch, does flipping the icemaker arm up allow the water to escape if your running air pressure to it?

Just wanted to sya a big THANKS to all who support this thread! I spent the better oart of Monday reading every post and then the next three days working through the list. More than half the issues were pertinent to my 2005 37C.

I'll post a couple of additional issues that I discovered while laying on a creeper under my PA.

THANKS AGAIN!

Good catch, does flipping the icemaker arm up allow the water to escape if your running air pressure to it?

If you got a washer/dryer and ice maker water lines running up the back of the refrig, don't for get to get the water out of them.

Is blowing out your water lines enough or do you still use antifreeze?

How often do you clean your fresh water tank?

Flushes out pretty easily. I run the water till it's gone. Right after I sanitize I change out the filter. Surprisingly, the new filter removes any chlorine taste.

Pull your filters, fill, flush from each outlet and then rinse like crazy? Do you get a bleach taste afterwards or does it flush out pretty easy?

I do use the bleach job as well as I do want sanitary water and plumbing.

Enclosed storage has worked pretty well for me, we use are as well. Got caught last year though in a longer very cold freeze - cost me a water pump and both filters.

I never have done the disenfectant thing, wondered if others had.

I would think blowing out your water lines would be more than adequate for winterizing. Here in the high desert we get occasional freezes that occur in the early mornings and I just turn the furnace on to 55 for those few hours. We use out rig durning winter so I always have water in my lines.

I drain my water tank 2 times a year and flush the water heater at the same time.
