Hey All;

Just finished installing the disk brake setup for the rear of the
Stretch. I came in with very good OEM brakes and now I hardly have
any. I've bled the lines a number of times. I have adjusted up the
e-brake on the rear calipers and they appear to be working fine, but I
still have very little brake when I move the coach. With the engine
off, and I touch the brakes, there appears to be plenty of pedal and
the feel is firm. When I start the coach and I have my foot on the
pedal, the pedal moves about half way down it's stroke. As I push
harder on the pedal, it appears to go to the internal stop of the
master cylinder. Now I've always had good brakes. The last 750 miles
I've had superb brakes. So, is the stock MC not able to supply enough
fluid to the 4 new calipers? If not, is there another MC I should be
looking at? How come the pedal is full up with the engine off but goes
to half stroke when it is on? Is it a brake bleeding issue? Thanks for
any help.
