2016 Pace Arrow Odometer reset

I looked at a used Pace Arrow 38B and was told by the owner that the odometer for some reason had reset to zero. Supposedly Freightliner could not reset it to display the original (current) mileage and issued certified documentation certifying the mileage at 19K. Has anyone ever heard or experienced anything like this before? I am looking to upgrade from a 2017 gas class C to an A. Any advice or possible triggers that may cause a reset is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I haven't heard of this. I would get the engine computer read before buying it. That will give the true engine hours. Hire an RV inspector to look at the coach. It's well worth the cost if they find problems, big or small.

If Freightliner issued a certified mileage, it would have come from the engine computer and have been accurate as of that day. In essence, it is saying that the actual mileage is 19k miles more than what the odometer currently shows. If the seller was trying to hide anything, he would not have disclosed the reset, right? An RV inspector wouldn't be aware of that either - the only way to detect an odometer error is to read the recorded mileage from the computer and that takes a chassis tech with the right equipment.
You should get the certification paper with the coach title (if you buy it).

When we looked at our 2017 Pace Arrow it had this issue the Odometer was showing a little over 4k miles but the previous owners stated it was at 54k miles. The dealer replaced the dash display panel as part of the purchase and it fixed the issue to show the correct mileage.
