No luck finding one part for my 1991 so far. Had two things happen at once of course :(. Had the big red brake light come on while driving and the anti-lock sign too. Stopping ok, try not to worry too much. Then the parking brake red light would not go out either (except it was not on at all--see the rest--). The little plastic switch that pushes up and down by the parking brake was broken in two for some reason.
Can't get one of those little things anywhere it seems. Glued it so it worked and the red light still stays on! Drat. Lots of brake fluid in the pot up front. Then read in the manual way into it that the pot has to be more than half full--it has to be full near to the top. Who knew?
So filled the pot up from half and red light goes out as it should also the anti-lock read-out. Then the little part came unglued so now no parking brake red light. Rats. So have to keep remembering to release the brake when starting off--no red light to remind me.
But at least the scary red brake light is not on anymore while driving. With my 2003 Chev truck I sometimes get the ABS warning --it comes and goes by itself--got that solved over on the TV forum, but at least the Chev manual says you still have brakes when that comes on. With the 1991 E350 it does not tell you that, so you bite your nails and hope you make it home ok.
Stupid stuff like that could ruin the OP's dream trip across country. Local area, you can get home somehow and get things fixed even if you have to abandon the rig at some garage out of town.
Of course stupid stuff can happen with a new rig too, but less likely. Also on any cross-country trip you need deep pockets and extra time in case things go wrong. With the old RV, you just need deeper pockets I guess!
