    Insurance Companies can sell RV's as flood when the water never entered the RV. It only had to be just under the storage compartments. One RV broke a water line in the Bath and only floor tile was messed up but insurance company totaled it.
    I bought mine as a salvage because it was vandalized. Someone broke in and stole the TV's out of it and while stealing the radio out of the dash they tore the dash apart. It was really a easy fix and didnt cost that much to repair.
    Earlier Pace Arrow Motorhomes had a master electrical shutoff in a compartment just above the entrance door. That might have been switched off and kept the 12 volt accessory system, (House batteries) from working. My RV is also a 2004 and so far I have never been refused camping at any park even when I traveled from St Louis out to the state of Washington and back a couple years ago.

      The year thing or ten year rule is really only there for them to have something to stand on to refuse a rough looking unit. My grandparents kept thier mid 70's trailer in excellent shape and never had an issue or questioned on exact year.

      @@JayH237I live on coastal GA. Big fishing area. There are some really ratty small RV parks when you wouldn’t overnight without an AK-47. Many are just full time, unwashed, nasty old things. I have seen beautiful older RV’s that are in perfect condition.
      But some of these places…….yikes!
      As far a a Flood RV, I wouldn’t buy a flood car .

    update the back up camera if you get it and the radio with one that has android auto and apple car play. They are fairly cheap now and some of them even come with the back up camera the biggest issue is running the wiring for the backup camera.

    In Pace Arrows of that era there are two switches in the small compartment over the entry door. They operate a pair of solenoids that connect the batteries to coach's wiring. One is for the engine electricity the other for house 12 VDC.
    Similar to battery cutoffs on heavy machinery.

    Hey got a question for you guys. I’m looking to buy a small chunk from a broken 2018 f150 STX grill. I know you guys have a scrap yard and so I was wondering if you had a piece of the honeycomb from one. I hit a bird and broke the passenger top corner out on mine. And if I could glue in a piece to fix it, I’d rather do that than spend 800 on a new oem one.

      Those are the actual seat coverings.. I had a medium sized dog and was always paranoid of a hole getting put in white leather! 2 ac units washer/dryer combo, solid surface counter tops dvd surround system to have your neighnor campers knock on your door when watching a movie! It was new to me but to open any of the slides the engine had to be running with the parking break on..

    The cover is missing on the generator. I've been told when running the generator it's better to have the cover on. A good friend of ours had a 2005 Pace Arrow for many years. It was a great rv, well put together. They kind of hint the new one they bought two years ago is no where as solid as the old Pace Arrow

    30 minutes now everything seems like it have the exact same model. The furniture is original your slides would work and your leveler would’ve worked. How do you set the parking break don’t know why and I will give 5000 in a heartbeat as that is dirt cheap just bought mine 25,000 and 149,000 miles, everything works and is like it was new that looks like it’s in good shape for water damage minor repairs and you would be back up and running

      Apparently you don’t know much about motor homes or you wouldn’t have made such a comment. They’re built on a truck chassis with a very sturdy drive train. Sure the actual RV portion if not maintained can where out if it’s roof hasn’t been maintained and water damage set in. There are owners that maintain their RV’s better than their house and PaceArrow was a top of the line MotorHome. I have a 1984 34 foot SouthWind motor home which is the sister one of a PaceArrow brand. But it is on its second engine with 198,000 miles on it. The past 8 years we have only been using it as a parked cabin we use in the summer months in the Colorado Rocky Mountains near Leadville Colorado. Thanks

    Old motorhomes are just not worth the effort in most cases. Many RV parks are turning away models over 10 years old and after water intrusion the structure of the coach really becomes compromised. A 2003 with water damage can't be worth more than $5,000 in the best of circumstances and a whole lot less in damaged condition.

    Should be banned off the road during daylight. The drivers never use their mirrors. And don’t care how much traffic build up behind them but hardly ever pull in to let vehicles pass. Plus they park in passing places for hours or even overnight without a thought of other people. And they say there’s no money about. Most people couldn’t afford to run something like that with the price of fuel insurance tax. Etc etc.
