I have a 1997 Hurricane Motorhome that’s lost it’s power steering and Brakes luckily my brothers house was right down the road and I was able to muscle it to his driveway! Any advice on what I need to do or look for to get it fixed? 67,000 miles on it.

    You probably have belt failure. The power steering pump deliveries the needed energy for both the power steering and power brakes.

    Welcome
    The first question
    Is what chassis is it built ON
    Is it Gas or diesel
    Gas Ford with 460" motor
    Or Chevy 454 on P30 work horse chassis

    You lost power steering and brakes

    Sounds line you lost power to the booster pump
    Runs on 12v, possibly located right under the drivers feet, under side of floor outside, or nearby under the front hatch

    No blown hoses, no hydraulic or power steering fluid leaking all over?
