I guess I missed this, but they ceased operations and don't answer the phones any more.
So much for any warranty work now. I'm sure those will get axed.
I could kick myself in waiting to get parts to fix the P.O.S. ramp extension. Now I guess I'll do it right.

Really!?! Wow! The Pace Family has been around for years!

GS023

I know they closed the plant in McGregor Texas.

The trailer/RV/racing industries have been hit particularly hard and there has been no recovery for them yet (or in the forseeable future)/:\

AU N EGL

Used trailer prices just went UP

I guess following H&H Market is just not there for many toys.

John Shiels

I doubt it. Plenty of companies giving there products away.

there is still featherlight to charge big $$$

davidfarmer

I was just going to say Featherlite must be doing OK, the trailer I bought for $13k in 2006 now sells for $22k at the local dealer (msrp of course)

John Shiels

aluminum prices are part of it.

From what I have heard, Bravo trailers took all the top talent away also.

The Bravo trailers look like everything the Pace trailers were except they went w/ a different rear door latch. I hate those latches and prefer the Pace rotating latches better

johninar

I do like the rear latches. Only big complaint I have is the ramp extension hinges are total junk. Way too light. It ripped shortly after I got it. Pace sent me three hinges, every one wrong. My fault for waiting too get it replaced.

What year is your trailer?

Could always get some heavier duty piano hinge from McMaster-Carr.

yes, thats what I'm going to do. thanks for the link.

it's a 2010

Mitch and Jack bender lent us a race trailer to use in the early 90s, great family. Glad to see they started Bravo Trailers, as Pace was a great product, I can only imagine that Bravo will be that much better.

drbenne

so where can we get pace american parts? blew a tire on way to track and damaged a plastic wheelwell piece?

John Shiels

try some of their previous dealers or may be if you find who is buying what is left of the stock they had.

KNSBrakes

Better hurry though.

I'm sure it was plenty of 'make to order' from raw materials and minimal JIT inventory on purchased components.

nobody wants to stock anything.

magnetic1

Or call Bravo Trailers maybe? Say youre an old Pace customer and see if they might be able to source parts?

You could also try calling Tim Spears @ Superior Trailer. He has helped me in the past and they were/are a pretty large Pace dealer:
