Last trip with BD ??

Unread post by datsit » Thu Sep 22, 2016 12:06 am

Went to a art show in Milton Ontario , The Country Heritage Park where Ann of Green Gables is filmed , here are a few shots of BD at the film site & the many buildings full of old -- VERY OLD farm equipment & many tractors.\nMy return trip home was good until I got into town & had a MAJOR BRAKE FAILURE !!!! NO BRAKES !?!?!?!!!! with quick reactions I was able to blow through a red light, get off main town road & do 2 left turns down hill & use a 1/2 mile up-hill road and parking lot to slow & stop BD NO damage, deaths or injuries !! BUT I did **** my pants !!! I will be having a few words & motions for the repair shop where I spent $2,313.05 in brake repairs complete rear overhaul NEW PARTS 4 weeks ago & 386 miles ??????\nI AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER !!!!

I hope you have Triple A platinum RV. It's worth every penny.\nI'd be curious to know what failed. If I were you I would inspect all the steel brake lines. The braking systems on these are pretty simple. There is no reason why it cannot be dependable if properly maintained.
