Hi, my name is aaron and im new here. Any help i get thank you in advance. I just bought a 1984 pace arrow 27' for my first rv. Its in great shape, but i have a few questions.

The other day the breaker blew leading from my house to the rv. Now all of a sudden only two outlets work in the kitchen. I found what i think is the breaker box under the fridge and saw a few breakers. on quick glance it didnt look like any of the fuses were blown. I can take a better look though. Can anyone let me know some things i can check to locate the problem? Also I was wondering how the fridges work. I get power but no cooling. one last problem. My friend broke the key tumbler, now the key keeps spinning. any help would be appreciated. any tips or anything will help as i know nothing about rv's. thanks in advance.

Check your plug in the walls for GFIC breakers. I f you find then press the reset button on each. Check all outlets. Flip the breakers on-off to check.Fridge should have a panel just above the door or a temp switch inside.

I still have one of these units in my garage believe it or not. Was the best coach we have ever owned. We have moved on now but the Pace Arrow is still here for the kids to take when needed. There should be a breaker panel and fuse panels (ours is a 34ft so locations will not be the same) Like the post before this said GFI's will need to be reset and if everything comes back great. If it doesn't keep looking for the breaker panel for the AC side and possibly a 12 volt fuse for the DC side. Your fridge should have a switch so you can go from AC to DC or propane. Make sure what's selected. The key tumbler sounds like something you want to get a "mature" mechanic to look at (as the younger guys have probably never seen one like that before) everything drive line is based on 70's or so Chev (assuming it is a GM chassis?) So get your parts at your local junkyard that does have some older Chev vans in stock.

Good Luck!!
