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.

We are picking up our new 2004 Pace Arrow this week. We are upgrading from a 35 ft 5th wheel. I am happy, excited, nervous, thrilled, and scared at the same time. I hope we can quickly adjust to the different driving styles required with changing from a towable to a MH. Have you been happy with your Pace Arrow? Which model do you have?K in Texas

I have my 2004 Pace Arrow for 10 months, been across the USA once and put on over 8000 miles. Had some warranty work done, nothing big. Changed a few things inside and outside. Going to Classic Coach Works in Florida this spring to have the lighted mirrored ceiling package put on in the front living/kitchen area. Might have the ceiling fan put on in the bedroom.So far I am very happy with it. This is my 3rd Pace Arrow.email me if you want.

We took delivery of our Pace Arrow on New Year’s Eve, 2003. It’s the 36B floor plan, with cherry stained interior wood. We are very happy with it, and since I’m 6’8” tall, the 7’ ceilings are much appreciated!We’ve put nearly 9,000 miles on it, all here in the West. The powertrain has been solid and impressive. We recently learned that some of the Workhorse chassis built prior to sometime in the spring had been equipped with undersized shocks. Our local Workhorse service center confirmed that our coach had this problem and Workhorse authorized replacement of the front shocks. Have only driven it from the shop to the storage yard, so I don’t yet know how much they have improved the ride and handling.We’ve had some problems, but nothing really serious, although this could have been if I hadn’t noticed it while we were parked. The screws securing many of the storage compartment hinges had been over tightened causing the heads to break off. I noticed that one of the doors was mis-aligned, and when I opened it to see what was wrong, the hinge came completely off. Fortunately this happened when I was holding it and not on the highway at 60MPH.Other problems…Right from day one the automatic leveling system has lost stability, overnight at first, now right away because one of the jacks almost immediately lifts off the ground. It goes into the shop next week and I hope they can fix it this time. Has anyone else had problems with the leveling system? I recently met someone with a 2005 model; it has a different brand of leveling system, not PowerGear. Is this an indication that Fleetwood recognized a problem?When showering, lots of water flows from the backflow prevention valve on the shower faucet hose, regardless of where the shower head is positioned relative to the backflow prevention valve. The dealer has ordered a new hose and faucet, but I’m skeptical that will solve the problem. Anyone else had this problem?The button atop the kitchen faucet, that converts the flow from a stream to a spray, won’t lock in place. The faucet will spray as long as the button is depressed, but once released the flow returns to a stream. Our home faucet doesn’t work this way; once pressed, the button stays depressed and the flow continues as a stream. How does the faucet in your coach work? Will it lock into spray mode?Here’s a funny one that has been fixed. The compass would never read correctly. Turns out the sensor had been installed right next to several of the surround sound speakers, whose magnets were confusing the compass. Now that the sensor has been repositioned, the compass is working fine.

Hi Folks We have a 04 37C. We got it 8 months ago. Only minor problems so fa with 6000 miles. Bent tube for awning when it didnt retract in storm, leveling jacks had a hose leaking, refer blows out running down road and a couple of other things that warranty took care of. All & all we are happy with it. Eddie

Jim,While my Pace Arrow is a 2003, I think we do share some fixtures including faucets and the showerhead. I also started seeing more and more water from the showerhead backflow valve. At the same time, I began to think I wasn't getting the water pressure I had remembered –it wasn’t really bad – just off a bit. While checking the water pump connections I found a kinked line on the suction side of the pump where my dealer had installed a winterizing valve. I straightened that out and the problem was solved.I was going to tell you that my galley faucet did not lock into the spray mode, but then I realized I haven’t tried it since fixing the pressure issue. I tried it last night, and yes, it does lock into spray until I press the smooth part of the rubber switch that is about an inch down the handle from the spray switch. So you might want to look for a restriction in your water system. Good luck.Dave

WIND SHIELD WIPERS Problem
I have an 05 Pace on a W24. Replaced the Windshield motor a couple of years ago. Since then I had the problem of wipers not turning off. Now however the wipers only work on High and the sprayer works but does not turn on the wipers. Have to time it right to turn the wipers off when they are not in the middle of windshield. I tried a new motor, and that is not the problem. I traced the wires all the way back to the motor and the only plug in the line is fine. The ground is clean and looks good. Any suggestions, I know others have had this problem, my bother in law has the exact same issue on his 04 Southwind. Would love to hear what has been done to correct this issue.

No tail lights! I have headlamps and the lights at the top of the coach in the rear but nothing at the main rear lights or the hitch plug.
There is a connector behind the gas tank, does anybody know what color wire I should be looking at? 2005 PA 36B W22
Thanks, Greg

Your tail light fuse has most likely blown. The fuse is located in the chasis fuse box. The box is apx 5x5 inches and is located on left, drivers side, of engine compartment behind the 12x12 inch relay ctl. compartment, top. Cover may be a bit hard to get off. It snaps on/off. Fuses will be labled on cover. 3A I think.

Stopped for Gas no signal lights after leaving. Four way flasher works, brake lights work.

Is there two flashers?? I can only find one.

In reading hazard relay could be bad can not find?
Fuses all test good

It took hours of Net searching with not much help. Replaced the multifunction signal switch did not help.
Finally dug in and looked some more for another flasher.

Found it way up above wire looms near top under the dash. Hard to remove and replace as wires are short for the flasher plug making it hard.

New flasher solved the problem.

I would suggest to you all to turn the signal lights on and trace the sound so you know where your flasher is. Maybe it will save 24 hrs or more of your vacation time.

Any of you Pace arrow owners have a cover for you coach. Any advice? I am going to throw a 60" tarp over it for now until I can find a better solution. I am parking the coach under some Oak Trees and don't want to stain the new roof just yet.

Yes its 50' feet long, made of aluminum with a locking door :) I would do the same if I were you, mine is in storage and the others I know go 'au natural'...

I hear ya.

I've been looking around for gas valves for water heaters and the average comes out to $100. I seriously think i'm being taken for a ride here.
If it weren't for the fact that I am up to my eyeballs in crocodiles at work with projects i'd just tell them ill do it myself but am not sure what I would get into. So I just caved and have them do it. Good thing is that they will do another leak test after the valve is installed and not charge me for it.
