Hi j-d,
Yea, it's been a while. We have only used the coach once in the past year and a half (had our first grandchild and some other transitions - been a very hectic year, 2 years). Took it out a month ago and noticed the pedal seemed worse, so I have started looking in to it again. A friend and I just 'bled the snot' out of the brakes - RR, LR, ABS valve, RF and LF, in that order. Got some air out of the ABS and the front brakes and I have a better pedal- not GREAT, but better. I have yet to take the coach out and drive it, but I'm going to try and do that tomorrow or Wednesday. We are planning on taking the family home (Oklahoma to Ohio), over Xmas, and so I just wanted to check things out.
I'm thinking its a bad ABS valve - been reading a lot about that causing a soft pedal. I'll try and post back as I go along. The brake lines look, and feel solid, but I know that can be misleading...
Take care - and thanks! Merry Xmas!
