Re: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

The staples exits somewhere that is't not supposed to. Oops. Lol. Did you leave it like that? Is your phone ringing?? That would be Fleetwood calling to hire you based on your stapling skills :D309Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?
fulltimin wrote: There are several ways of dealing with air movement. I have an installation guide on rv refers. It appears that the main issue is airflow along the back side of the refer. Mine has the heating pipe on the right side, looking at it from the rear. From the research I've done, if there is too much airspace between the back of the fins and pipes at the rear, the air won't move through them properly, and actually flows behind them, and it won't cool properly. A residential refer would also solve the problem. Danfoss also makes a dc compressor, and there is a place in Indiana that uses their compressor, and makes a unit to replace the original rv cooling system, which then makes it strictly a dc powered refer using normal refrigerant. I haven't called them yet, so I don't know what pricing is. I am guessing a residential refer may be cheaper, and some of those are fairly energy efficient. That would also solve the venting issue as well, as suggested. You may be thinking about conversion units by JC Refrigeration. If I remember correctly, they are a bit pricey. You can pick up a smaller counter depth residential for less, but if you dry camp a lot you’ll want a few more batteries, an inverter and generator to keep things running.

Before heading out, usually a week before, I’ll use Apple maps our Google maps to plot my route through a certain area. Each of those apps provide real time traffic and give me a general idea of what traffic congestion looks like. It’s certainly not perfect, but it helps us get a relatively good idea of what we might face. We do our best to avoid traveling during rush hour too.379Views0likes0CommentsRe: 6 Point Self-Leveling Systems
Wondering if these new 6 Pt. Leveling systems make the 5er more stable? Yes, I think so. Can you lift the entire 5er off the ground? You can, but Lippert says not to do it. I’ve done it when I put on my Moryde 4000 and wet bolt kit and would use it to change a flat if needed. Do 5ers with this system still jiggle as a person walks around inside? Yes, we still have some movement. Is there a down side to these systems? I haven’t found one yet, and I wouldn’t buy another rig without it.201Views0likes0CommentsRe: Auto Leveling

I would love to use it but no joy. I'm happy your is working correctly There are some great YouTube videos that you might want to check out or contact Lippert. There are two sensors that determine level. One is probably in the front near your battery and the other above your axles. It’s possible one of those is loose. We love our level up and I wouldn’t have a rig without it.385Views0likes0Comments
