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.

Dropped the motorhome off at the dealership yesterday. Now the adjuster will have to visit them and talk to the service manager to determine what has to be done to fix the water damage to the roof.
Hopefully they will cover all of it and not give me the "it's a maintenance issue"

Have a 05 37c. Pace Arrow. Cant get front drivers side leveler to go up or down. They are electric Atwood model. Use a drill to operate it.......but the pain is that I cant get rid of the error on the panel. Have to manually raise and lower the other three legs using the buttons. Third time this happened. Before, I went under and wiggled the wires and it started to work. Ground seems good, Now, there is no response. Any ideas?

Sometimes just moving the manual retract nut on the bottom of the gear drive is enough to clear it up.
You can also reset the controller...forget the procedure, but it's available online if you don't have the documentation. At one point, I had to replace a jack because it blew a gear. Other than that, it's usually an electrical/controller problem.
All of the connections come into your controller which on my 36D is located on the drivers side under the dash. The wires are connected to the board on the side that sits up against the wall, and are notorius for corosion due to condensation running down the wall and onto the controller, particularly those connections. Get in there with a flash light and maybe mirror, and inspect the connections and make sure they're ok.

Did anyone ever replace that flexible kitchen sink drain hose that flexes between the kitchen slideout and wall. Trying to find where to get one.

oh those switches. thanks for the ino

[Jim]

Salesman's switches are the common term for the battery switches in many RV's. They operate the main solenoids that power the RV from the batteries. Mine are labeled 'Main' and 'Aux' and are above the door. Most are near the door. They shut off (most) power to the RV so the batteries don't discharge as rapidly if the rig is sitting for a period of time. But keep in mind that there are parasitic loads even with the switches opened, like for the radio memory. Or the memory of modern electronic engines or transmissions.

The solenoids that they control are generally in or near the battery compartment in or near a large box labeled 'Battery Control Center' (BCC) or similar. These solenoids are special...they have magnets that hold the solenoid in an open or a closed position so they only need temporary power to operate...which is why the salesman's switches are momentary.

What damage are you talking about? Confused. And what did removing the battery have to do with the stove?

[seatec]

Salesman switches??? I feel so ill informed. Tank is full. Main valves is open. No valve at stove. Leak detector on. house batteries on with power. I did disconnect the engine compartment battery.

PS. AM having the Geico insurance adjuster coming out today to see if the damage is covered.

[Lobstah]

Jim is right on the money. No batts, no propane. If you have batts, what does your tank monitor say? What does the valve on the tank say?

Do the newer pace arrows have propane auto shut off valves? I was testing the stove to see if I was getting propane but nothing! suggestions?
Sigh. It never ends.

I am positive that they do. Things to check: Are the salesman's switches closed? Are the batteries charged? Is the Propane Leak Detector turned on (below the stove near the floor)? Is the main valve at the tank turned on? If you have one, is the valve at the stove on?

Not had skylight problem but have a problem with the vinyl ceiling separating from the foam backing. No evidence of water but will have to foot the bill on this one. Anyone else had vinyl ceiling separation?

[seatec]

Any of you have experience with a leaky sky light causing damage to the ceiling? It seems my insurance covers it but want to ask you guys for an opnion first before I knock on their door. I had the MoHo stored for a while and for some reason a skylight cracked and water ruined a big portion of the ceiling. It also looks like I have some mold now.

The only hope that I can think of, is to check with different dealers to see if they have an extra one. Of course there are 2-3 different sizes and designs. Maybe if you are lucky, you could contact the manufacture to get one. Did you try e-bay? Good Luck

[Fyr_guy]

Thanks guys! I actually found my socket it was an 1 9/16. All is good.

Mine takes a 1 1/8" socket for my wheel covers. I keep an extra one in my tool bag with an extension already assembled together. This tool is ONLY for my wheel covers and is in my RV tool bag along with the 1/2" ratchet. My other wrenches are in my mechanic tool case. Since I use it often, I keep it handy in my general tool bag.
