looking for owners of 2004-2005 Pace Arrows

Does anyone by chance have a set of schematics for their 2004/05 36B/37C which is 50-Amp service? Mostly I'm interested in something showing the AC Distribution (Breaker Panel) and also the Transfer Switch.

I'm considering changing out my 30-amp coach to 50-amp and would like it to be stock as much as possible.

Fleetwood sent me via email all the electrical schematics a few years ago. They would only send me mine based on my Fleetwood manufacture number. They were *.pdf files which worked out pretty good.

Yep, I carry a number of 2x10 wood blocks for the jacks and some longer ones for pulling the tires up onto if the site is really bad. I reprogrammed the auto function and it works pretty well most of the time for me, if the site is really un-level sometimes manual works better.

What brand of converter's are people replacing the stock ones with?

I'm assuming you're talking about an inverter?

I, too, am surprised you don't have one ... but no, we don't have an inverter..we have a converter. Open it up and it might just be the converter you didn't think you had. Can't hurt to check it out. Let us know what you find.

In my galley, under the stove top, there is a metal vent. From time to time, a fan starts up behind that vent, as if to cool something off.

Anyone have any ideas what that might be?...it's not my furnace...

Jim, might be your power converter?? We have the 36B model, but our converter is located in the back under some drawers, and that's what ours does - from time to time the fan starts up because it is cooling the converter.

On the PowerGear levelers, the rear units are linked so that the front can sway the unit side to side. That is the reason that the rear lower first. I carry the orange plastic leveler blocks to put under the PowerGear pistons. There is also a zerc fitting to grease the rear units.

The only way I can get the jacks to work (good) is put wood under each jack so there is only three to four inch down before it hits the wood to level the rig. It is a pain to carry the wood (2x6 8 inch long) but it makes a big difference.

For those of you with Power Gear jacks what has been your experience?

My experience is much the same as yours. I'm very unhappy with the Power Gear jacks!

I've given up using auto mode. It lifts the rear jacks first, and since my rig is always nose low that's the wrong way to start the leveling process. I now use manual, first trying to get the nose up high enough to reach level, then extending the rear jacks just until they touch.

And like you have experienced, if the site is not pretty much level, the jacks do not have enough travel to get the rig level. Power Gear has explained this to me as insufficient space between the chassis (where the jacks are mounted) and the coach floor (the upper limit of the retracted jack leg), which limited the jack leg length that could be used. I suspect this space limitation came about because of the 7-foot ceiling introduced in 2004. And I also suspect Fleetwood recognized the problem and went with the Atwood jacks for 2005 and later model years.

Someone asked if it was possible to extend a single jack leg. One of our rear jacks often fails to extend properly, so I've learned how to do this—simultaneously press both a right/left button and a front/rear button. For example, to extend the right rear jack, press the right and rear buttons at the same time.

Your experience is the same as mine. I have had the 2004 for two years and the extension is not great. It is the first MH I have had that had jacks and I thought that was just the way it was.
