Got a few things done over the last week.
Repaired the Zip Dee awning on the curb side. The awning had pulled out of the groove at the front of the coach, and the stainless arm was frozen inside of the aluminum tube at the front as well. A phone call to Zip Dee and a talk with Jimmy in customer service had me fixed up in under an hour. Great customer service at Zip Dee!!
All new brakes on the rear, the old pads were near new except for the bad set. Decided to replace all of the pads with semi metallic.
The bearings (Timken) were in great shape so I cleaned and repacked them, and I replaced the wheel cylinders which were original 
Went ahead and did the 1 1/16 cylinders on the intermediate axle, and the 15/16 on the rear axle.
Doing the front brakes tomorrow.
Cleaned the carpet.
My new clearance light lenses showed up, thanks Jim K and AppliedGMC
And have a window question, pictures follow.
1st and 2nd photo, old brakes that caused the groove. Intermediate axle on the drivers side, wheel cylinder seized open on the rear push pin. Was probably driven for quite a while to cause the groove in the drum which was 1/2in wide and 1/8in deep. The inside of the wheel on this brake was completely black!!!
Here is a picture of one of the completed brakes. 
New marker light lenses, bought all 10 of them.
The awning had pulled out at the front of the coach, was a little perplexed on how to fix it. Broke out my small craftsman pry bar, opened up the groove that holds the piping, tucked her back in and vise gripped it back closed.
Now for my window question, the big window that does not slide on the drivers side has slid back out of the sealant. I can actually used my hands to move the window up down back and forth. It is hard to slide and the seal is tacky, what would be the best way to take care of this.
Thanks guys!!!
