2002 Pace Arrow 36R Motor Home

IMG_3026 Front View 2002 Pace Arrow 36R 8.1L Vortec engine on W22 Workhorse Chassis with Allison 5 speed transmission. In this view you can see the in motion KVH Satellite Dome in place of the standard crank up Weingard dish. The motor home has always been stored in covered storage when not in use.

IMG_3027 Here you can see the encased A$E patio awning. You can also see the encased A$E Awning on the rear slide bedroom window.

IMG_3028 Here you can see the top side of the awning fabric, no rips or tears, awning functions properly and locks securely in place for travel.

IMG_3029 Here you can see the coveted drivers door and the encased A$E living room slide window awning. Also notice that the storage compartments move out with the slide. This makes it very easy to access the storage compartments unlike motor homes where the storage is fixed under the slide.

IMG_3033 Encased awning on rear bedroom window. These awnings really decrease the heat load by blocking overhead sunlight from saturating the window. They also reduce the amount of light when the shades are pulled so you can sleep in a little longer.

IMG_3034 Rear view showing the ladder and the nice looking taillights. The tow hitch is not included with the motor home. There is a 7 pin trailer connector installed which makes it easy to tow a trailer or toad. The W 22 chassis has a 5,000 lb towing capacity with supplemental braking recommended. Towing our toad has been effortless!

IMG_3035 Here you can see the large bed room slideof the 36R floor plan and a good shot of the other bedroom window encased awning. The patio awning has been raised into position in this shot. You can also see the passenger side storage compartments in this shot. The W22 chassis has ample CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity) allowing you to make use of all this storage space.

IMG_3036 Right Rear Hydraulic Leveling Jack By Power Gear. These jacks are electronically controlled via a small control panel on the left side of the instrument panel.

IMG_3037 I have installed a 6 stage RO Water filter that feeds the ice maker and the drinking water spout at the kitchen sink. This unit makes great tasting and ultra safe drinking water. The unit works flawlessly with the included booster pump. · 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis (RO) System with Booster Pump · Aquatec CDP6800 when used with Membrane, for 50-100 GPD · 10” Sediment Filter 5 Microns Polypropylene · 10” GAC Pre-Filter Cartridge · 10” Carbon Block Pre-Filter 5 Microns · 50-100 GPD (Gallon Per Day) TFC Membrane vessel with Pressure Gauge · GAC Inline Filter – NSF Approved · Secondary GAC Inline Filter - NSF Approved · 4 Gallon Pressure Tank & Ball Valve · Lead Free Chrome Plated Standard Long Reach Faucet

IMG_3038 Here you can see the drivers side rear drive tires. These are the Good Year RV670 tires. You can see that they have lots of life left in them. I have uses the 303 aerospace UV protectant on them regularly since I bought the unit new in 2002.This coupled with the covered storage has keep them in top shape. Lots of life left, you wont be burdened with a new tire purchase for some time.

IMG_3044 Another shot of the passenger side rear tires.

IMG_3045 Rear leveling jacks. All the jacks work perfectly with no leaks. I have cleaned and lubricated the shafts on a regular basis since new.

IMG_3046 Here’s a shot of the frame rail and electric slide actuator motor behind the living room slide.

IMG_3047 This is a Winnebage Easy Rest lounge. It is electric and reclines with a pull out foot rest for some real comfort for watching movies on the Dolby Pro Logic Home Theatre system with subwoofer or just relaxing. At the end of the day, the lounge converts into a comfortable queen sized bed increasing the sleeping capacity of the rig. I know the color looks a little off in these pictures because of the flash on the camera. The color matches much better when seen in person. If you don’t like / want the easy rest lounge, I still have the original jackknife ultra leather sofa which can be re installed in the coach. You can see more images of the sofa and an animation on my other web site: http://www.grifftek.com/pace/

IMG_3048 Here is a poor picture of the front inside. The TV is a 27” Panasonic unit. On the right there is the standard Panasonic VHS VCR, Panasonic 5 Disc Home Theatre Receiver with Dolby Pro Logic and the video Distribution switch panel. I have added wiring for connecting the Satelite Receivers Digital Quality Audio to the receiver so you can enjoy pro logic audio content from the satellite.

IMG_3049 Here is a galley view, please note the high quality residential fixtures and the stainless GE convection oven / microwave and the 4 door stainless clad Norcold 2 way refrigerator. The glass back splash with stainless accents makes for easy cleanup after cooking on the sealed burner glass top high end cook top. There is plenty of kitchen storage with room for pots and pans and lots of supplies.

IMG_3050 Here you can see the optional booth seating which adds additional storage drawers beneath the seats and turns into another single size bed.. You can also see the storage cabinets above the dinette and the couch. The wall sconce lighting adds just the right amount of light when watching movies at night. Overhead florescent lights and RV style light abound wfor when you need lots of light. There is also rope light which works great as a night light or mood lighting. There is also high intensity halogen lighting under cabinets directing lots of light right where you need it for reading or other tasks.

IMG_3051 Driver s cockpit showing the rear view camera monitor, hydraulic leveling jack controls, etc. You can also see the remote power heated mirror controls on the left side of the dash.

IMG_3052 Drivers Flex Steel 5 way power drivers seat covered in ultra leather.

IMG_3053 Ultra leather Flex Steel passenger seat. Please note that both the drivers seat and the passenger seat swivel around to provide additional comfortable seating in the living space.

IMG_3054 There is also a swiveling recliner with foot rest which can be detached and moved to provide a nice comfy spot to read, relax or watch movies.

IMG_3055 Here you can see the wardrobe mounted in the extra large rear slide. With the slide out and the bedroom door and bathroom separator door closed the bathroom opens up to provide a nice sized changing area.

IMG_3056 Here is the 20” Panasonic bedroom TV. Using the selector switch up front you can watch park cable, satellite, VHS, or on air programming through the amplified Weingard TV antenna mounted on the roof. The TV has front mounted audio and video jacks making it easy to connect a video game, digital camera or video camera.

IMG_3057 This is the bath tub / shower stall combo. Notice the residential style fixtures and triple soap dispenser.

IMG_3058 Solid surface counter top and stainless sink and fixture add some class to the bathroom. Lots of storage space below the sink and in the drawers. There is also a vanity cabinet above the toilet.

IMG_3059 Vanity cabinets and decorator towel bars in the bathroom.

IMG_3060 General Electric Full Digital Microwave / Convection Oven. We have baked biscuits and cookies in the convection oven, we never missed a conventional oven with this technology.

IMG_3061 Ice Maker in the Norcold 12 cu ft 4 door 2 way refrigerator.

IMG_3062 Freezer side opposite ice maker.

IMG_3063 Lots of space in the refrigerator section. This unit has worked really well for us in our travels, Im sure it will work great for you as well.

IMG_3064 Can I offer you some refreshments? Please notice how clean the refrigerator is. We always cleaned it after every trip whether it needed it or not! The doors are always left open in storage to prevent any mold or mildew.

IMG_3068 This is the main control panel. You can monitor fluid levels, coach and chassis battery voltages as well as slide out controls. The water pump can also be activated from here or 2 other locations. Main battery and auxillary batteries can be disconnected from this panel as well. This prevents battery drain and lengthen battery life. The coach batteries are Trojan T105 deep cycle batteries just like those found on electric golf carts. These batteries have been well cared for! I installed a charge wizard battery charger control which turns the coaches electric converter into a state of the art 3 stage high capacity battery charger. You can read more about the charge wizard here! http://www.progressivedyn.com/chargewizard_home.html I would also like to add that the batteries are flooded cells and require maintenance to keep they filled. Having the 6 stage RO water filter allows you to fill the batteries without needing to buy distilled water or being forced to use tap water to fill your batteries. This is a real convienece and it makes it really easy to maintain your batteries. Properly maintained Trojan batteries can last as long as 10 years if you take good care of them!

IMG_3069 Here is a shot of the ceiling above the Drivers area. Note the ducted air and the chill grill as well as the ample lighting.

IMG_3070 Chill Grill and some more of the ample florescent ceiling lighting. Also note the cabinets over the Passenger side window and door.

IMG_3071 A shot of the ceiling facing aft. You can see all 4 of the florescent ceiling lights as well as some other light fixtures. You can also see the Ansel Adams art on the dining room and bedroom walls.

IMG_3072 Here is another shot of the easy rest lounge. Also note the day night shades installed in the window boxes.

IMG_3073 Under the table cloth is a nice cherry finished wood table. The table is in excellent condition and has always been covered up. The ultra leather dinette seats have a velour cloth on the opposite side. Please note that the plastic runners that were installed to protect the carpet on the dealers lot are still installed so the sculpted carpet is still in like new condition!

IMG_3074 Solid surface kitchen counter tops and sink covers. Note the drinking water faucet which is connected to the 6 stage RO water filter system.

IMG_3075 Here is a shot of the stainless residential kitchen sink with the covers removed . Notice the pull out faucet also.

IMG_3076 High Quality 2 burner completely sealed gas range!

IMG_3077 This unit has the newer style low profile engine cover (dog house). Not all 2002 units have this low profile cover!

2002 Fleetwood Pace Arrow 36R

This is a picture of a Pace Arrow that I found on the internet; the background is much nicer than the parking lot I took my pictures in!

Here is list of features included in the 2002 model Pace Arrow 36R on a W22 Workhorse Chassis: Basement Floor Construction, Heated Holding Tanks, 5,000 LB Trailer Hitch, Electric Double Entry Step, Roof Mount Dual Trumpet Horns, Driver's Door w/Manual Window Lift, Remote Heated RV Mirrors w/Turn Indicators, DSS Manual Lift Satellite Dish, TV Antenna, Rear Video/Audio Camera, Radius Roof w/Ducted Roof Air Conditioner, Digit Compass/Outdoor Temperature Gauge, 4-Point Hydraulic Jacks, 5.5KW Generator, Dual Glazed Windows, Flexsteel Furniture, Dash Fans, Privacy Curtains, Padded Vinyl Ceiling, Ultra Leather Pilot Seat w/Power, Ultra Leather Co-Pilot Seat w/Work Station, Ultra Leather Sofa/ Free-Standing Rocker Recliner, Day/Night Pleated Shades, Deluxe Ceiling Vents w/Fans, Front 27" Overhead Color Television, VCR, Stereo AM/FM/CD, Home Theater Entertainment Center w/Surround Sound, 5-Disc DVD/Video CD/CD Player, Double Bay Stainless Steel Sink, Single Lever Faucet, Water Purifier, Soap Dispenser, Round Table w/4-Chairs, Mini Blinds In Kitchen, Corian Counters, 2-Burner Stove-Top, Spacemaker Profile Microwave Oven, Cedar Lined Wardrobe, Ironing Board, Enclosed Bath, Bedroom Desk, Wall Lamps, Walk Around Queen Bed, Night Stands, Bedroom 20" Color Television, GVWR = 22,000 LBS.

We will start the grand virtual tour with a picture of the dash console. The monitor is for the rear view camera. I thought that they should have used the 27" TV as the rear view monitor and installed GPS Navigation in the space where the rear view monitor is.

Here you can see the Front passenger seat rotated to face the living room area as well as the comfortable Flexsteel Recliner/Rocker.

Looking aft of the recliner area you can see the entry door on the left, the corian counter, and the 2 burner stove top with a microwave / convection oven / exhaust hood combo above.

In this view you can see the H U G E sink and the ample storage provided by the lack of a conventional oven. Two overhead florescent and 2 conventional 12 volt Euro Style light fixtures provide ample lighting for the kitchen area. There is also some mood lighting provided by a short string of rope lights around the top of the decorative glass splash shield around the stove.

This is a picture of the Ultra Leather Flexsteel sofa and the table and chairs that come as standard equipment on the 36R.

We didn't like the fact that this coach couldn't sleep more than 3 people comfortably so we opted for the optional booth table which converts to a full sized bed which can sleep 2 small children or a small adult comfortably. While we were shopping for the motor home, we really liked the functionality of the Winnebago RestEasy Lounge that is available on just about all of the newer Itaska and Winnebago coaches. After a few weeks of searching the internet, I found the Winnebago Surplus store that had this lounge in stock. We had the sofa re covered locally and installed in the coach before delivery. This lounge reclines and makes into a queen-sized bed.

Here you can see the RestEasy lounge in the Lazy Boy configuration. I am not the world's greatest photographer and no matter what I try it has been impossible to get photos of fabric to come out very good. The sofa really matches the rest of the materials in the coach much better than the pictures show. I guess its something to do with the flash and the reflective qualities of the material. These pictures make the couch look brown when it is in fact a shade of green that matches almost exactly the fabric on the booth and the bottom side of the booth cushions.

This is what the RestEasy lounge looks like when laid flat in the Queen Bed mode.

Here you can see an animation of the Winnebago Rest Easy Lounge in action.

These are the pictures of the RestEasy lounge that I received from Chad at the Winnebago Surplus and General Store where I ordered the lounge. The couch didn't look nearly as ugly as the pictures show it. If anyone is interested, here is the contact info: WINNEBAGO SURPLUS & GENERAL STORE P.O. Box 152 Forest City, IA 50436 Store hours: Monday-Friday 9-5, Saturday 8-12 Phone Chad at 641-585-6935

This is the Norcold Double Door Refrigerator with built in icemaker. Plenty of storage space for Mr. T's pop socks and ice cream!

Across from the kitchen is the Booth Dinette which makes into a bed. This is a picture from the fleetwood brochure.

This is our son Tyler! As you can see is a very active and vivacious 3 1/2 year old! He is also a very experienced traveler, he has over 30K miles RV travel experience, 104 miles of Jet Boat travel on the Rogue River in Oregon and another 53 miles on the Klamath river in Northern California and a 747-500 trip to Manila in the Philippine Islands.

Moving further aft we arrive at the bathroom. The sink is stainless steel set in a corian counter top with a cabinet below that provides plenty of storage space for toiletries. There is a corian insert that covers the sink, but ask me how I know it's not safe to leave it covering the sink when you turn on the water pump from another location like the kitchen....can you say FLOOD! Notice the European home style fixtures used throughout the coach instead of the standard RV fixtures.

The toilet has a porcelain bowl and a residential seat. To the left of the toilet there is a wash down spray nozzle to help keep things tidy. Above the toilet is yet another cabinet for storing towels and other light weight objects.

This is the shower / bathtub combo. I didn't like this arrangement as well as the garden style shower but its functional nonetheless and the bathtub comes in handy for small children. The soap, shampoo, and conditioner are nice additions as well as the adjustable euro style showerhead.

Just outside the bathroom is the wardrobe. When the bedroom slide is out, this area becomes a dressing area. The bathroom door will open all the way and close off the rear area from the front of the coach. The bedroom also has a door that seals off the bedroom area from the bath/dressing area making for a large private bath area.

In addition to the wardrobe, the bedroom slide also houses the headboard and the queen size bed. There are plenty of light fixtures to brighten up this space and some nice reading lights to make bedtime reading comfortable. There are also Corian bedside tables and one has a flip up extension for even more table space.

Opposite the bed are the bedroom cabinets and the built in 20" Panasonic TV. The coach also came with a nice stylish Panasonic AM/FM/CD Clock Radio Combo.

Lets not forget to mention all of the wonderful hiding places for a small boy!

After the first HOT and SUNNY weekend in Las Vegas we decided to have the window awnings installed on all the windows to help keep things cool.

This is the massive 496 cubic inch Chevy Vortec Engine BIGGER!
