My coach is the test bed for Albert Branscombe's Electric Parking Brake (EPB).

Last week we tested the EPB to a 15% incline which was the maximum for the dual piston hoist at Borrmann's Garage.

For those at the GMCMI Rally in Lebanon TN, Wally Anderson has info sheets on it.

Does this work on stock rear brakes, or only on disc conversions?

Its a disk brake for the rear-rear axle. It replaces the existing rear brake. It is also the hydraulic brake.

Big advantage is no park brake cable to adjust or rust and drag.

Just push a button and it self sets the caliper. Press the button and it releases (actually its twist the switch one way to set it and the other way to release).

I was unable to download the information.

I posted it in the Resources section of GMCmotorhome.org forum.

If you are not on that Forum, just register with the same username as you have here and a password.

There is a "Download" button at the top right or left of the Resource page.

Or PM me your email and I'll send both docs to you.

It's easy to miss that Download button if you haven't used before or recently, or if the text doesn't say something like "Hit the download button at the top right for" ...... etc.
