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 winter camp at least once a month, haven't had a problem. Usually I use ceramic heaters to heat the inside when it is above freezing outside, but if its getting close to freezing I make sure and use the furnace so the compartments get heat.

Just found out that I have to stay in Ohio until Nov, I am going to get cold. Never had to stay in a cold area in a RV before. Has anyone out there stayed in their P/A when it can get to 20 - 30 degrees? Is there some areas in the P/A that I must watch out for freezing the water pipes? I have a extend-A-stay ordered so I can use outside propane tanks to keep the furnaces running and not have to move to get propane tanks filled.
I noticed that the rear bedroom furnace has a heater pipe to the basement, but it is in the very rear of the basement and I am concern about the fresh water tank, water pump and pipes up to the front of the basement.

Paul ~ we've not experienced those kind of temperatures, but I can tell you that when those temperatures are forecasted here, in the compartment where the fresh water tank (empty if possible) and the water pump are housed, we put a flood light with a 60w bulb on a timer so that it comes on during the coldest part of the day or night. This is something you could do in any compartment that has access to water lines. Wrap your water hose is pipe insulation. If your furnace is are running they will supply heat to that rear compartment.

Hope this helps. Stay warm!! 🙂

Have not switched mine out to the new wheels but my buddy has a new Southwind with them and they look beautiful! Anyone have a price on them?

Here's something new. Same buddy had his slides become inoperable recently when we arrived at a campground and after several calls, they had hime check the ignition fuse (3 amp in the upper right side of the large black fuse box) it was blown and was replaced now everything worked until he went to his next destination so their appears to be a short somewhere. At least we now know where to check in the event slides fail to open or close.

Has anyone switched to the Alcoa Aluminum Wheels that are shown on the Workhorse site? We are sitting around 26,000 miles and I have about had it with the steel wheels from Brazil that standard.

Brake problems, again. Brakes went out again. I called WH rep. and he told me we should flush our systems with fresh fluid every 2 yrs. I did and it was contaminated. This solve my over heating problems for now. I did have to replace both rear abs sensors in the rear.
Just a heads up to flush the brakes with fresh fluid.

Based on seeing high end RV's with drain holes in their awnings, I put a 1/2" brass grommet in the center of my "new correct length" awning approximately 3" in from the roller seam. Finally had the chance, (by accident), to give it a good test to see if it would prevent pooling of water in the open awning. Went out for the day and left awning open. While out, a heavy downpour came through. Awning was fine and no pooling at all.

My 37C has it under the washer. I had it replaced and the washer had to be removed.

I think the converter location varies, depending on the floor plan. On my 2004 36B it's below the cabinet under the vanity sink.

On our 2006 36B it's located below the bottom drawer in the middle section of drawers under the clothes closet.

In Jackson, Ms. on a job right now. Thanks GREG Email hgcjlewis@gmail.com

GREG, If your converter is under the washer/dryer like mine and you have to replace it, let us know how you had to do it. I looked at my converter and was wondering how hard it would be to replace and if you had to remove the washer/dryer.
Good luck
Paul

Converter is located under the washer/dryer. You can see it if you take out the grill at floor level unjder the hutch in galley area, (under fold-up table in center). The converter is very difficult to get to and probably requires removing washer/dryer and lifting w/d floor. Can also get to part of the converter by removing the propane detector, although this may be difficult. My detector was "cemented" in with foam insulation. I was checking my propane detector, not converter so I can't tell you any more.

I think the converter location varies, depending on the floor plan. On my 2004 36B it's below the cabinet under the vanity sink.
