Greetings fellow Coe ers ! I know some of you guys have used motorhome ch***is's and was wondering, do any of you know if a 1985 pace arrow has all wood framing or is there some steel tubing used as well? Any help would be appreciated !
The reason I want to know is I have several options and if the pace arrow cl*** a has a box tubing structure I can repurpose the tubing in the Coe project.....thanks ahead of time if any of you guys know!
Most of the motorhomes I've salvaged have some steel structure at the front and rear. That being said, it wasn't enough to make or break the real reason I bought the junk home, that being the drive train/frame/suspension. I have no knowledge as to what an 85 Pace Arrow has for structure, other than cheap, chintzy and under engineered, as they all are. (they don't call them sticks and staples for no reason)
Thanks for the reply Steve !....I was hoping to get lucky and have someone reply it is a full steel tubing structure ....you get your Detroit back together yet!.......looking forward to some progress on your Autocar!
There's been a little progress, but nothing to write home about. I keep getting called away by "summertime" projects and/or health. In a couple of weeks I should have an update coming on my build thread.
