I know that this is one of the first things that JimB looks for when a coach comes in for r&r. Crushed lines are a problem but I can't speak to symptoms.

Even if the body cushions were missing it wouldn't affect the brake lines. There is another channel that protects the hoses to the fuel liquid-vapor separator. I don't know if other model coaches are the same.

You beat me to it. My Royale is the same. Someone was thinking when they built these things.

I worked on a coach that had the vent line on top of the forward gas tank
crushed. Vent line was for the evaporator.

Some coaches do not have the spacer holding up the body for the brake, air
lines back there. Body pads cause more problems than brakes. Everything
has to go back and for the between the body and frame. Gene was right
though, wasted hoses are the #1 reason for brakes sticking. If the
shoulder where the bolt goes through the middle of the rear brake hose
assembly is rounded -- brother those are 30+ year old hoses. Getm outa
there!
