ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1995 34FT WINNEBAGO WITH A CHEVY / WORKHORSE CHASSIS. THE AUTO BRAKE HAS FAILED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAS LOCKED THE BRAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEED LOCKED UP IN DRIVEWAY NOW THE SYSTEM IS DISCONNECTED AND THEIR SEEMS TO BE VERY LITTLE HELP ON A FIX. WITHOUT TAKING THE VEHICLE IN AND LETTING SOMEBODY REPLACE PARTS UNTIL IT IS FIXED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE RIGS AND NOT HAVING A PARKING PIN OR BRAKE SEEM LIKE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I SEE WHERE PEOPLE JUST DISCONNECT THE AUTO PARK SYSTEM AND RELY ON THE EMRG. BRAKE. THIS IS GREAT UNTIL YOU GO TO SELL THE UNIT TO SOMEBODY AND FORGET TO MENTION THIS, WHICH HAPPENED TO ME. NOW I HAVE A 16000# MH WITH NO PARKING BRAKE. THIS SYSTEM SEEMS TO HAVE MANY FAULTS AND THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING TO FIX THIS.

I HAVE A 1995 WINNEBAGO CLASS A MOTORHOME WITH A P-30 CHASSIS. I STOPPED TO GAS UP AND MY AUTO PARK BRAKE SYSTEM LOCKED UP. I HAD TO DISABLE THE SYSTEM BY DISCONNECTING THE CABLE TO AUTO BRAKE SYSTEM. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL . I WAS IN THE MOUNTAINS OF MISSOURI.
