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.

[hammer01]

Has anyone had problems with their pace arrow discoloring? The white fiberglass is starting to show a hint of yellowing. Any suggestions to remedy this problem?

P.S. It sleeps in a climate controlled shed built into my house.

It's been a long time since any Pace Arrow owners have posted here. Where is everyone? OH, Happy New Year to everyone ... I know it's March & a little late. 😉

I have not, but have thought about doing it just because mine seems to be very LOUD, even though it's mounted on rubber isolators.
There are tons of threads on here regarding water pumps...some good, some not so much.

Well, after reading about everyone's electrical problems, I am starting to have a few too. Suspect my converter is shot. Got down low with a flashlight and read the spec sticker and it says 40 amps. Seems low to me based upon what I read on this forum, the year of the coach, and what is available at Camping World---45, 55,65,75 amp. Assume there is no problem with jumping up to higher amps. Any comments on an upper practical amp limit? Any tricks to removing and replacing?

Can't say much on what size amps to get, but if your converter is on the floor under the washer/dryer like ours, if can be replace without removing the washer/dryer but it was fun. My replacing the converter turned a 20 min job into a 1 hour job just to remove the 4 screws to the floor and the three wires and the electric plug. Why would anyone with a electric design degree put any electric device under a washer/dryer. It is not if the washer leaks water the answer is when the washer leaks water all over the electric converter and other electric things under there. There is a big black plastic box with numerous electric wires going in and out that I have no idea what it is but I know it will not like water running over it.

Funny part of the replace, well not too funny to me just my wife. AS I was trying to get a good angle laying on the floor in the bathroom trying to get my big mitts under the washer, I had my legs laying behind the toilet. After a few minutes laying like this working on the converter, I got a Charlie Horse in my leg. I almost ripped that toilet apart trying to get my legs out of there.

Seems low to me too. I suspect upon further investigation you'll find it to be a 65 or 75 amp converter. Probably a WFCO 8875, {75 Amp}, as they were the ones Fleetwood was using on the PA and some other models about that time. They were not that great of a converter and not even comparable to todays converter technology.

If it were me I would look at and read about Progressives Intell Power with Smart Charger 9200 series. I went with the PD9270, {70 amp}.

On my 05 PA the Progressive was very easy to swap. Basically same size, no wires to add or cut. If you know which end of a screwdriver does what, You don't need Camping World.

Ok...back to my porch light problem, which I still haven't had time to troubleshoot.
Yesterday I got home after dark, and needed to stop to disconnect my TOAD before pulling into the driveway. I hit the "utility light" switch on the dash, and that light doesn't work either.
I'm wondering if since this is a dash switch, the fuse is under the hood, and maybe the fuse controls both lights.

I bought mine from Amazon...forget the brand, but it's the most popular...Power Industries maybe? I believe I went with an 80amp.

Only problem you MAY have is making sure that if you go to a bigger capacity, it will still fit in the space of the old one.

Water leak in bedroom. I can't figure out how or where it's getting in. It drips off the ledge in the picture into the pan. We only have this happen when the slide is in. Anybody else have this happen?

Make certain that when your slide is in, it's closed up tight all the way around and the gasket is seated/sealed properly.
If the slide isn't sitting completely square, on side may not seal as well as it should. Also, the gaskets get banged up over time, so have a good look at that, especially over the top of the slide.

Monitor issue. My battery, holding tank monitor quit. Tracing fuses found a 7.5 in the battery center under the hood. It didn't fix it. Two questions:

1) what is the 7.5 on the pigtail in the battery control center operate?
2) where is the fuse for the battery monitor?

Thank you
