Hi, I'm new to the forum.
I'm the relatively new owner of a relatively old RV

I have a 1986 Pace Arrow Eleganza

I'm slowly learning about the systems and the functions of the RV.
Of all the paperwork that came with it, what was NOT included was a booklet that tells me what the switches are.

I'm still trying to figure out the water heater, the LPG system, and where everything is..

I'm glad I found the forum.. It's already answered several questions I've had..

Thanks.

Hello Proteus. I joined the site just yesterday myself. Seems a very good site. I got a chuckle on a bit of your post. My wife and I ran thru the switches when we got ours..flip a switch and look and listen for the effect. Most of the switches are intuitive..but not all.
Have fun!

Hello,

I have a 1986 Pace Eleganza. Does anyone know about the blower on the furnance? is there a special fuse for this, or reset button? I can help with the hotwater tanks, I have a schematic on it if anyone needs it.

Thanks

Hi and

I think I have a post on this site outlining all of the switch functions. I had a 1984 Pace, the setup was the same for a few years.

I'm new all, and have the same model as you Proteus. I tried to attached the Hot water tank info. I must be doing something wrong.

Does anyone know about the solinoid that is attached to the Propane tank? It is in line, and I believe that it is a "safety" device that may make the furnance not work if it's not working.

I just joined also and learning how to navigate this web site. Please forgive me if I'm writing in the wrong place.

Thank you

If the propane safety valve goes bad everything that relies on propane will shut down. A new valve is available at your RV parts store.

Thank you so much, I'll get a new one and install it. Have you ever cleaned your furnace? I want to do this myself. I did the hotwater system and it's running great. Any tips on doing the furnace?

I have never used the furnace for more than five minutes. (just to test it) I use electric space heaters when needed. I mostly use full hookups so I use the electric
heaters.

Hello, Can anyone help me trouble shoot my furnace on my 1986 Pace Eleganza? I just had a new solinoid made and replaced it, however I still cant get the blower to come on. Any ideas?
Thank you

Hello Proteus! Welcome to IRV2. As you can see the folks here will help. You probably have already found the Vintage forum, but thought I would mention it incase you haven't. There are a lot of people restoring old rigs. Good luck with your Pace Arrow. Hope you are able to get on the road soon.
