Pace Arrow was a piece of crap, BTW.

Intereresting. I've always thought they looked pretty good when I've
seen them on the road. Who would you recommend instead?

At the risk of offending some, anything other than an RV made by Fleetwood.

When Pace Arrow was really Pace Arrow back in the old days, it was
considered to be a high-end, quality built RV or motorhome. That's what
I remembered. But somewhere in it's history it was acquired by
Fleetwood. That's when they turned to crap.

In fairness, not all Fleetwood RV's are bad. The higher end diesel
pushers, etc. are popular and apparently don't suffer from the poor
quality that the one I had suffered from.




Doesn't matter what you buy , they all have issues. The consumer
is the quality control. It's not like buying a car.



Small, wooden blocks glued to a skinny, painted metal stiffener that the
side panels are screwed to with what amounted to sheet rock screws isn't
my idea of quality. Nor was a rubber gas line feeding the generator
that made a 90 degree turn across the frame that had been cut with an
oxygen/acetylene torch and left with all the rough slag that was
chaffing through the gas line. Nor was the stupid painted plastic that
is used for the entire front and grill that was so rough any attempt to
wax it only left white wax residue that was impossible to remove.

Nor was the brake line that let go in less than 6 months causing it to
have to be towed away with a gigantic tow truck.

Who can forget the melted ice cream?

Other than that, it was pretty good I guess. :-)
