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

Anybody else unhappy about the shower controls in the 06 Pace Arrow 37c (might have same in other models) Im a big guy and when i move around in the shower i sometimes touch the lever that controls the flow and temp of the showerhead and get a shot of hot or cold water before i can adust the control. I would prefer a knob controller over the lever type thats in there now. How hard would it be to replace whats in there now? Has anybody done this so far?

PS; im taking my coach out for a second shake down run at Muddy run park in PA this weekend. anybody else there? im in spot #152 and w will also be testing our new padleski 435 from sea eagle. Can't wait for Friday.

Pat

I've had a problem with burned plug wires twice. Got Workhorse to provide and install their engine cooling kit. Haven't driven much since it was installed, so don't know if that has solved the problem.

We have a 37C and there is a fuse panel under the bathroom sink that covers the "coach" systems.

We've 'looked' at BOTH fuse boxes, the one under the bathroom sink and the one under the dash, but they're not marked as to what's what. We are taking the MH in for an oil change tomorrow so I'll just have to let them look for the problem. I'll post the results when we get the MH back. Thanks to all who have posted your ideas and solutions --- as always keep'em coming!!

I noticed a small on-off rocker switch on the side of the fixture. Turned it on and the light came on. I guess someone had reached up & turned it off there instead of using the wall switch.
I didn't even realize there was a on-off switch on the lights themselves- I thought it was just wall-actuated.

Silly me... ;)

Don't know if you have the same type of lights I have (small twin-tube fluorescent fixtures) but one day my light switch on the wall wouldn't turn the overhead light on. I checked fuses, replaced bulbs, everything. Just as I was getting ready to pull the fixture off the ceiling to check wires, I noticed a small on-off rocker switch on the side of the fixture. Turned it on and the light came on. I guess someone had reached up & turned it off there instead of using the wall switch.

NEED HELP ...

We have 2 dash fans that are mounted to the front overhead cabinet that worked a couple of times, but not now. We have looked for the fuses, thinking maybe that's the problem, but we CANNOT find where the fuses are. There's a fuse panel under the dash, but none seem to be for the fans. If you know where the fuses are I would love to know before we carry it in to the dealer.

This forum is the 'greatest' for help and information...keep it coming!! Thanks to all!! :B :B
