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.

We have a 2003 Pace Arrow 36B Chevy and it does not appear to have a spare tire (just purchased the rig last June). We have AAA, Good Sams and Coachnet roadside service, (I know, overkill, but had an incident a couple of years ago where AAA did not respond to change a tire on our other rig and Good Sam came to our rescue). If we had a flat, would our road side service be able to provide us with a tire? Where do others with our same rig store their spare? I know this seems like a stupid question, but my husband and I are technical tards.

I've been lucky enough to avoid the need to verify this, but I've asked my road service provider and have been assured that whoever they dispatch would be able to provide a tire (at my expense, of course).

I think storage (where to put it) and the size/weight make it more than most people can/want to handle. I seem to recall that there were a few that figured out a place to store one, but most will rely on a road side assistance/tire shop to come out and replace.

This year I am going to store my PA in cold country. I am going to have a RV Shop to winterize my PA. My question is there anything extra I can do to help getting the PA through the cold winter in Ohio. It will be out in the open with no electric so I was thinking about a RV cover, is a cover needed to keep snow off the top? What about gas treatment?

Here's the pics from my recent project to replace the faded and cracking vinyl graphics and lettering on my coach. I uploaded them ass backwards so the begining is at the end. Remember, I went with the original design and colors so nothing new there. Trust me when I say that the vinyl looked like******6 years later and now the rig looks like new again. The pics of the front end cap don't come out as good as it looks as the sun was not out high enough to see well. It sparkles like glass. No more streaks on the windshield and hopefully easier to clean the bugs off. Enjoy!

Turned out great! If I was going to keep ours I'd do this too ! Enjoy.

I have a 2004 Pace Arrow,Model 36B. My drivers side power window just decided to quit working. I've tried looking for a fuse, but can't find one. Any help?????????????

The fuse should be in the fuse box under the dash or the box under the hood. My window stopped, I checked all fuses (dont remember finding one marked power window), I have a fuse tester and it is faster to check each fuse without looking or removing each fuse to test.

I opened up the door and tested electic going to the window motor but the motor was bad. Did not see any in line fuse inside the door. One day I will look for a new window motor.

bricot, thats why we're taking this plunge. We will run the wheels off this rig so we want to keep it looking as nice as possible. We have maintained it pretty darn good but exterior graphics are totally out of our control. This paint job should go a long way towards that goal.

Make sure you post, or send me pics. Love to see what you pick and how it turns out.

Fogged windows

You guys are probably sick of this but my fogged windows have gotten worse and I don't know what to do. It an '05 36D, but I imagine they used the same window supplier for all coaches. The seal between the two panes breaks down and fogging starts and keeps getting worse. I'm afraid to even ask about replacement.
Have you guys not experienced this?
Thanks, Gary

Have you gone to a glass shop? I recently went to a shop and I inquired about replacement for the front paasenger window and they told me they do custom automotive glass. The glass would be tempered, tinted and dual pane. They just need me to bring in the coach to measure the window so they can make it while I wait. I haven't had a chance to bring it in yet so I can't give you a price.

[Lobstah]

Yeah...several of us have that problem too. There are various methods of dealing with it, ranging from buying new windows, to paying someone to remove and fix your windows, to removing them and doing the repair yourself. There are kits available that I think are referenced in the main forum that you can order if you're a DYI'er.
