2008 F-53 Chassis
Any ideas on reason for my motorhome to pull to left when I brake. I have new tires, had front end aligned, new brake pads. Thanks!

Not true. If the inner lining on the right side hose is cracked it can flip up and block pressure to the right caliper causing it to pull left. Let off the pedal, pressure on left caliper is released, wasn't any on right caliper, and pull goes away. The opposite can also happen. That is the loose inner lining can keep the pressure to caliper up after you've let off the pedal. This would cause it to pull to that side after releasing the pedal.
Don't know if the pull was there before the new pads or not. Changing brake bads is the perfect time to ruin a brake hose. If the caliper falls or gets twisted around too much while replacing the pads you can easily ruin the hose.
BTW: I do know what I'm talking about and have experienced this problem. New pads, good calipers, new pins, still pulled. Took it to several shops, surprised they didn't suggest hoses, but they said the brakes were perfect. I finally replaced both hoses and problem gone.
