Just finished getting the LP gas system leak checked and was happily driving home. No problems but as soon as I get to my hilly neighborhood the trouble started. At stop lights I slowed to coach down and the pedal seemed to travel further down. Holding it in this position the coach would start to inch until I applied full pressure. Then coming to park at the top of the hill the coach did not stop with full brakes applied and me standing on it. I had to throw it into park before I started to gain momentum.

Now here is my question. Should I bleed the brakes or get a new master cylinder and have everything done at once? I have never worked on drum brakes before so I really dont know what I am getting into.
