1985 Pace arrow Coolant reservoir?

Hi Im new here and searching all around. Im looking for a picture of my 1985 34' Pace arrows coolant reservoir since it came missing from the rv when I bought it last week. It has a 454 in it. I've checked at a couple dealers and they cant pin it down even with my vin# or Service parts Identification card that came with the RV. I also have the weight sticker with serial #. I should mention that the rv is 200 miles away till I pick it up this weekend. I wanted to try some repairs to drive it home and use towing it back as a last option but I'll have to find this reservoir first... I can make something work at home if I had the sizes and how many hoses, but that far away might be tricky or impossible. Anyone want to tell me where I should have posted this or where I should have searched the site? Please feel free! .... Thanks for any help and I promise to be a good Member (I like taking pictures of the work progress)to this site when I get my RV home.

The one on my 83 Pace Arrow was also gone so I went to Pep-boys and bought one of their and that worked out for me and I think I spend less than $20.00. I also ended up also installing a after-market windshield washer unit, which was also missing. The PO told me he told them out but never gave a good reason why.

You have an open style cooling system with the pressure cap on the radiator. Any aftermarket res that will fit can be used. Gm has used three sided glass bottles in the early '60s. Kartvines found a deal at pep boys!!!!

Go to NAPA and tell them you have a P30 chassis with a big block 454 and you need the coolant reservior for it. I have gotten many a part for my 87 Allegro through them.

Good Luck
