looking for owners of 2004-2005 Pace Arrows

Bird Freak,

Thanks, picked some up at HD today.

Gel-Gloss works well. You can get it @ Camping World or Home Depot.
As you can tell from my sig. I may not know much about shiny stuff.

So, exactly what products do all of you use on your Pace? (not full body paint)

I've been looking at a couple of the products on this website under the gel coat/fiberglass section.

I've taken a door to one of those "unfinished furniture" stores and the fella there was able to mix a jar that matched the birch perfectly.

Has anyone found the cherry colored stain to match the cabinets? I think the wood is alder, but birch would work. Is there a combination of stains that I could mix together?

I went to Home Depot and bought some of those touch up sticks - both liquid stain type and the waxy crayon type. The liquid type has been pretty consisently better. None of it's been perfect.

I use the felt tip furniture touch up pins. Matches the Birtch very well. Where the paper (faux wood) has torn or peeled the Fleetwood dealer should be able to supply you with the original colored "tape" in different widths.

That's a tough question and I tried to find the answer with no luck. It's Plantation Cherry in our MH and I don't think it's a stain as a place we tried to redo wouldn't take it like a stain should be absorbed. Fleetwood just replaced the door we were having problems with.
Since then, a popular cabinet producer has told me to just bring a door or sample to them and they'll figure out how to match it. Could be a paint. Hope you find the answer as I also would like to know.

An item of interest for all. Remember the threads concerning the dash squeaks and loose screws? There was also an item about quality control out of the PA plant and these screws. Well I finally thought it was time to check the screws and about three wee gone and the rest except for one were loose. One that fell out didn't go far--it was in the right front tire, but not far enough to cause a leak. Replace them all with larger stainless steel (which I have been swapping out a lot of screw with stainless steel) and will see how that works.

The reason the screws are "working loose" is because they are not screwed into anything. When installed they missed the frame, which is about 3.5 inches back from the corner. I explained this in another post to this site, but forget the details. Mine were reset and are doing fine. Because of your post I just checked them .... holding tight, not bad for just returning from a 3700+- Mile trip in Mexico.
Be careful with SS screws and aluminum or steel they will corrode.

Another item I just thought of as we are getting ready to go on the road. Has anyone had a problem with the trip computer display on the instrument cluster? Mine has slowly disappeared and now only shows a random display of vertical lines.

Actia via Workhorse will replace the Instrument Cluster for you under warrenty, contact your local WH dealer. Had mine replaced on my '05 recently and since had no problems.
