Re: intermittent loss of DC coach electricity
When testing the battery voltage as several of you advised, I discovered that one of the cables was ever so slightly loose. When I moved the batteries slightly to have better access to the posts the DC power went out! On the road again on Thursday. Keeping my fingers crossed! BTW, the batteries were fully charged.533Views0likes0CommentsRe: intermittent loss of DC coach electricity

Shore Power/Genset and starting the chassis engine just uses the Alternator(chassis) or the Power Converter(Inverter/charger) on Shore or Genset. Doug Batteries are fairly new, but I'll "break and make" the post connections.533Views0likes0Commentsintermittent loss of DC coach electricity
I have an occasional and intermittent problem with loss of DC coach power. Here's the scenario: I drive into a rest area for a "comfort" stop, turn the engine off, switch the water pump on, it doesn't come on, further investigation reveals no DC power in the coach. I don't lose DC power every time the engine is turned off, but when I do starting the engine or plugging into shore power restores DC power. What might cause this, and what is the fix? Coach is a 2004 Fleetwood Pace Arrow, on a Workhorse chassis.4.5KViews0likes16Commentsintermittent DC outage
I need some advice for how to troubleshoot this problem. We occasionally lose DC power, when we are on house power only. It never seems to happen when connected to shore power, or when the engine is running. Without any action by us, it will "auto-magically" come back on. I've confirmed that the house batteries are fully charged, and all battery cables are tightly clamped. Any ideas about what might be going on?507Views0likes3CommentsRe: looking for owners of 2004-2005 Pace Arrows

I just left the existing reflector in place. Hope this helps. Thanks.I bought the smallest LEDs available from M4 Products and they fit fine.748Views0likes0CommentsRe: looking for owners of 2004-2005 Pace Arrows
Has anyone replaced the under-cabinet halogen bulbs with LEDs? Did you have to remove the reflector? If so, how? My reflector is a bulky piece of pot metal so the tabs that clip into the plastic housing cannot be flexed. If you have been able to remove this type of reflector, please tell me how to do it. Thanks!748Views0likes0CommentsRe: looking for owners of 2004-2005 Pace Arrows
Subject: where can I get this part? The cover on the Battery Control Center under the hood of my 2004 PA is held with a couple of lever-type clips. I've lost one. Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement? I've been unable to reach RV Custom Parts (maker of the BCC).748Views0likes0Comments
