Everyone talks about bad grounds. I have intermittent inside lights. Where are the grounds on a 2004 37C pace arrow?

Can you give a few more details around what you mean by "intermittent"? Do your lights go off completely, then back on?...or do they just dim a bit?

The lights actually go off. They may come on in the wee hours of the morning, like if it was raining.

Chassis battery constantly draining.
I went and bought a brand new interstate chassis b attery after the old one died. For some reason my Chassis battery keeps dying though. I have the Coach plugged into shore power at all times but still the battery keeps dying.
I have a 2006 Pace arrow 37c. can anybody shed some light on this issue?
Thanks
PS. I dont have anything running that could drain the battery (maybe i do but just dont know it)

Hi, Interstate makes a very good battery, they are what I always use in my P/A and my golf cart. But, that being said, sometimes there is a bad new battery. If you have not checked your new battery, I would start there. Not just a volt meter check but a load test. If you don't have one, I would pull the battery back out and take it to Interstate and let them run a good test on it.
Good luck and lets us know what you find.

Seatec, My chassis battery has been doing the same thing, it will last about 2 weeks from fully charged to completely dead. i have replaced it 3 times in the past 2 years. If you have any luck finding the problem please share b/c i have been looking with no luck.
Thanks,
Jeff

If your Pace is set up like mine, your 120V (either plugged in or from genset) feeds your CONverter. Mine is under my kitchen cabinets, mounted to the floor. The CONverter feeds your intelligent battery system(my "system" is located just above my propane tank, just forward of my entry door).
The intelligent battery system keeps both your house batteries AND your chassis battery charged. There is a circuit that senses when your house battery is above 13V, and when it is, it enables charging of your chassis battery as well.
I recently replaced my CONverter, and while the new converter feeds the battery system once again, my chassis battery is slowly discharging, and is not being charged by the system.
This is most likely a fuse, I'm just not sure which one yet.
I'd bet a pretty significant amount of bacon that that's your problem, and your battery is fine.

p.s. will post more info when I get a chance to dig into it more. This has been the year of gremlins for me, no doubt about it.

It looks like F17 on the battery control center may be the culprit. I'd check that first.

We have a 06 Pace Arrow 36 D, that has started leaking at the back end of the full wall slide, seems like it is worse when the slide is in. We keep it in a garage so it is dried out good, we turned 2 fans on it for a week, and left the windows open. it is allright for now but have got to find the leak before spring. Was going to pull it outside and use the water hose on the awning to see if it is leaking. Any good ideals!! Thanks H.B.

When you put the slide in, did you hold the button down until the two LEDs on the control panel came on? If not, then the little arms didn't come out and completely seal in the retracted position...
Happened to me...leaked like hell.
