looking for owners of 2004-2005 Pace Arrows

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. My sticker damage was behind sofa, and on right edge of kitchen wall. Here's what I did...

Behind the sofa, I got the self sticking wall paper runner that is used in the bedroom-bathroom. I ran it the length of the wall over the sofa, cutting it out around windows. You can't tell it wasn't put there on purpose from the factory, covers sticker marks, and actually looks great!

Kitchen wall, tough one. GIVE UP! just get a kitchen wall mount notepad, small picture, mini wall vase, pot holder mitten hook, or something you like and mount it over it. Any other way will make matters worse and drive you nuts! Trust me, the more you try to make it match, the bigger the spot is going to get.

Hi All,
I am the second owner of a 2004 PA 37C, and love it. I am slowly exploring the RV parks of Florida. If I wasn't burdoned with haveing to work for a living I would be a full timer for sure. I've had a few issues but have done some research so i think my issues will be solved but would love to connect with other 2004 PA owners to share experiences.
I was having water pressures issues until I unscrewed the purflow filter and found that it was clogged and weighed about 20 pounds!! I went on line and bought new filters from the mfg. I also read on this site that the factory installed pressure regulator isn't the best so I went ahead ordered a Valterra pressure regulator and gauge and intent to take out the factory regulator out of the line abd replace it with the new fixture. It hasn't arrived yet so I'm not sure if it's going to be any better.
My coachs' interior has the cherry cabinet finish. The original owner peeled off the warning stickers off the wall that is opposite the fridge and next to the stove area and pulled off some of the laminate. I have read that it can be re-stained with a combo of sedona red and cherry stain made by Minwax. Has anyone tried this on a wall?
My last question is steering control. In the wind it's a little more difficult but just regular driving seems like a constant correction, like driving a ship. I've read of steering stabalizers and it sounds like a good idea. I realize that it will never be like doing 80 in the Volvo but I think it could be better than it is. Any ideas?
Thanks all, I look forward to reading your replys.

Welcome to the forum. We have a 37C too but we have mirrors surrounding the stove area where I think you are describing your wood finish color has come off from warning stickers. Is it possible you are missing the mirrors surrounding the stove top area? Ours fell off early this season and I reinstalled them with strong double stick tape. If your mirrors are missing they really make cleaning up the galley area from grease easy and I would get them replaced. It will also cover up your missing wood color. The mirror that attaches to the wall between the stove and refrigerator is shaped like a square with a right triangle in front of it from what I remember. You should have a back splash pieces matching your counter top that have a small slot in them for the mirror to sit in. If you need a template to replace the mirror perhaps we could do a tracing and send you one. Hope this helps.

Welcome flcampa,
I have looked but haven't seen an in line regulator on my rig. I would like to know where it is located. That being said I have found just changing the filter has done the job. City water pressure has to be good too. A lot of parks have low pressure. I do have an external Watts water pressure regulator. I set it at about 50lbs. and have had no problems.
Lots of friendly people on this thread with good information.
Enjoy your new rig let us know if we can help.

3 yrs. Full Timing 40,000 miles on the rig 35000 additional on the toad.

First off, welcome to the thread flcampa. I did have the water pressure problem and found the whole house water filter clogged and was solved with a replacement as you've done. I have not had the other problems you've encountered but maybe someone else will reply.

I'd like to know how many owners of the 04, 05 Pace Arrows, or any other Fleetwood owners that have the same grill design have experienced burnt spark plug wires? I have an 05 Pace with 13k miles and have no problems that I'm aware of. A reply of yes or no and the year/make would be great. Thank you. I should have added it's the 8.1

'05 37C, had them replaced at 15000 miles with the #5 wire going bad. Mine were replaced with Taylor High Temp wires and since, no more problems.

My refrigerator is in a slide out with the two vents on the side. The one vent is just above the flue which is allowing the air to go down the flue and blow out the flame. This only occurs when I am driving interstate speed AND the wind in blowing just at the right angle into the top vent. When this occurs, my wife can hear the refrigerator re-light over and over until the check light comes on turning it off.

The baffle kit blocks some of the air flow going into the outside access panel for the refrigerator.

Is the problem with the refrig on a slide that has 2 vents on the side wall, or the standard setup with a vent near the bottom of the refrig and one on the roof. So far, I have not had any problem with mine going out. My refrig is not on a slide and my other vent is on the roof.

I took off the complete vent near the bottom of the refrig and glued window/door screen on the inside of the complete vent. Since doing that, I have had no insect/wasp/spiders set up home on the inside or in back of the refrig. I am wondering if the screen is enough to block the wind from blowing out the gas flame. If it is happening with a roof and side vent, I believe I will try to get one also.

Please let me know, thanks............

Burnt plug wires were replaced twice, both under warranty. No problems since Workhorse fresh air kit was installed.

Meme&Ray,
We have an 06 with about 21,000 miles. We have not had a plug wire problem. However, as a preventive mx measure, I rplaced the plug wires with the Summit Racing high temp wires at 16,000 miles (reference someone's posting about a year ago) and had the cold air kit installed at 18500. Also, we tow a Malibu Maxx and are limited to 65mph max so we have not been in a situation, other than the mountains of Montana and other nortwestern states where we have had to really work the powertrain. Since we had the factory QC problems taken care of, we have been very pleased with our 37C.
