Re: Bunk over Cab - realities

Common class A saying, entertainment for 6, dinner for 4, sleeping for 2, was pretty much correct other than the sofa or bunk models. Pop up towables had more matress sqft than a class A. There are even a few DP models with the bunk. If you see a newer DP with the door someplace than in front of the front wheel it probably, but not always, has the drop down bunk. For prospective owners take into consideration that there could be weight limitations of the bunk. Makes a bed for a couple of kids but two adults might be pushing it's limits. Wow! I just saw that the Fleetwood Pace Arrow drop down bunk has a weight limit of 650lbs.430Views0likes0CommentsRe: I test drove my first motorhome today - Noisy

Fleetwood Pace Arrow 35E Year, Chevy, Workhorse, Ford and you should probably make it part of your signature??? Helps when you converse, for getting better and more feedback and suggestions from those familiar with your rig. Especially if they have a like coach. We once had a 87 PA chevy and after that a 98 National Tropical on a chevy chassis with autopark. Sure did a lot on the latter over 9yrs and for improving things, so someone could have a lot to offer.... Good point. 2017 Pace Arrow 35e. The Pace Arrow returns as a diesel pusher.603Views0likes0CommentsRe: I test drove my first motorhome today - Noisy
It was the road! Well, not just the road. There was one rattle that they had to fix because a part was loose, but we also drove it on another road that was not in terrible condition as the other section of I-10 and the road makes the difference. We love the floor plan and we bought the coach. Thanks for all your replies and helpful information.603Views0likes0CommentsRe: Bunk over Cab - realities
We just bought a Fleetwood Pace Arrow 35e. It has the drop down bunk over the cab as well as bunk beds in the back next to master suit. The drop down doesn't touch the front seats when it's all the way down,so you can still use them. Plus we still have the dining table and couch. We're brand new to it, so I don't have a lot of real world experience with it to give you, other than to say we really like the option and it high on our priority list. We looked at other bunkhouse models without the drop down bed, but wanted both. Good luck with your search.430Views0likes0CommentsRe: I test drove my first motorhome today - Noisy

Sorry if I've confused anyone, but the noises that I heard weren't engine related. The engine was very quite. I just want few rattles and a solid frame. I'm going to go back next week aftrr they've tightened down the panel to the left of the driver, and test drive it again on a different stretch of road.233Views0likes0CommentsRe: I test drove my first motorhome today - Noisy
We are looking at a Fleetwood Pace Arrow on a Freightliner chassis. One thing that really attracted us to this model is the drop down queen bed above the driver area. It has bunk beds too. We have 4 kids so it has enough sleeping space so that I can leave the dining table for dining, and the sofa for sitting, without having to pick up bedding. The drop down queen bed is motorized and has 4 chains, one on each corner. The chain is surrounded by a metal plate and on the bad road was vibrating against the metal casing. The dealer said there wasn't anything they could do about it, and suggested putting a piece of foam in it while traveling (there is in open slit in the middle of the metal casing exposing the chain). The second noise was the console to the left of the driver where you shift from neutral to drive/reverse. They found something loose and said that can be tightened. The third noise I'd say was the frame and that came on the hard bumps in the road. I test drove this on a super rough stretch of interstate and for this noise I'm guessing that was the problem. My dad has a Fleetwood, and while I haven't ridden in his, I've heard that Fleetwood makes a quality product.174Views0likes0Comments
