Well, I got Money Pit home a couple of weeks ago with
known poor brakes. After I arranged a storage location
about 1.5 miles from the house, I started her up and
after about a hundred yards or less, the red brake
warning light came on and pedal went almost to the floor
when I applied the brakes. Still had SOME braking, but
a bit scary. hen the red light went out and brakes worked
about as well as they ever had (pretty poor) until I got
almost to the storage lot and the warning conditions again
appeared. Got the coach safely parked and went home again
after I started to breathe normally again.
I've been back and checked the master cylinder and it is
virtually full. I stronly suspect that there must be
air in the lines, but the brakes were supposedly bled
before I started my trip home to Oklahoma City from Texas.
I have no facilities or location to work on the coach
(gravel in storage lot) and haven't checked to see if
local Chevy/GMC car and truck dealer can or will work
on the brakes.
I'm many decades past the time when I did virtually all
my own vehicle repairs and will gratefully appreciate any
and all suggestions.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

p.s. I think Van Vanlandingham is supposed to be getting
his coach tomorrow. I haven't heard from him in a few days.
