looking for owners of 2004-2005 Pace Arrows

[Jim_Bakker]

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.

Karen,
I don't think you want the hinge, I think you want the hydraulic piston that sits on either side of the door. Don't know the part number, but the pistons are pretty commonly available through parts stores and online. You may want to take one off and go to your local auto parts store. They're commonly used on back doors for almost all SUVs these days.

Cathy,
For tires, I've heard some folks have had good experience with Camping World. In other research, there is a wide variety of pricing on even the same tire, so do your due diligence. Tires have a DOT code on the tire, which among other things denotes the date of manufacture. Many places won't service a tire that's more than 6yrs old, so if you buy a new tire that's already 2yrs old coming off the rack, well...you get the idea.
Shop around, call the truck places, tire shops, etc...and go from there.

Good luck, and tell us what you find!

Does anyone know the make/model of the bay door hinges for an '06 Fleetwood Pace Arrow? The bay door just behind the entrance droops and does not stay open so I want to order a replacement.

Thanks in advance!

Tire replacement.....

We own a 2004 Pace Arrow 37C.
This is the first time I will be replacing tires on a M/H. Any help or suggestions on brands, or what type store to purchase them. I heard Costco and truck tire stores but I would prefer to hear it from a M/H owner.

I live in Glendale AZ if anyone has had some luck in that area it would be helpful too.

Thanks

I'm going to be boondocking for the weekend...first trip out this season. I've flushed my water system, filled my hot water heater and tested it, ran my genset for 1/2hr no problem.
In my overhead cabinet directly above my main entrance, on the left hand side, I have two battery disconnect switches, Aux and Main. My main fear, of course, is killing the batts during the weekend. So my plan is to disconnect the Main when we get there. Then when Aux gets low, I can start the coach, and start the genset, then reconnect Main and let everything charge.

Will this plan work? LOL

Ok...in the process of finding the manual for my fridge, so I could identify the model number so I could find a replacement icemaker valve...lol...I discovered a small booklet titled "WFCO Installation and User's Manual" for a power converter/chager. And yes, it's located directly above my propane tank. Pretty sketchy manual, deals only with installation.

From what I can determine in the manual, this is a charger only, not an inverter. Anyone else have this same converter?

I run it in my cars, thinking of putting it in the coach when I change oil this spring.

Ok, you got me worried now. the manula stated that it was 6 quarts with oil filter change. Im worried that it seemed that more than 6 quarts ran out but i thought i was hallucinating.
No where can i find a threat about a 6.8L triton in am morothome and oil changes. maybe they added a bigger pan to the engine and needs more oil.

[Fyr_guy]

Lobstah, been runnibg Mobile 1 since I had 9,000 miles on the rig, I now have 40,000. I love not having to chage the oil every 3,000 and even though Mobile says you can run it 10,000 miles between changes, I change mine at about 7-8. I get the Mobile 1 at Wally world and have my mechanic use it.

[rolnhome]

The parts store should be able to look it up for you. Very common engine. Sorry don't have a more exact answer. You have a computer just google it.

[seatec]

[Lobstah]

I need to find the part number and/or measurements for mine over the shower. I've seen the domes on Ebay for pretty cheap money, just need to get the part.

We didn't order directly from Fleetwood. The dealer we bought our MoHo from ordered and installed it. We're not handy when it comes to this kinda stuff.

Charges were ... 147.01 + tax

Labor = 90.00

11oz. Dicor Lap seal 2@7.79 = 15.58
Exterior skylight dome = 28.49
shop supplies = 12.94

Total Parts = 57.01
