ABS light on and left front tire brake very hot

I have a 2011 Ford F-53 chassis. While driving today my ABS light came on and when I started to stop I could feel a "thud/thump" don't really know how to describe it. It did it again when I took off....

Sticking caliper is the leading culprit, IMO. On my MH I will first notice that the pedal gets firmer as the first warning sign. It is them time to stop and check things out and to let the brake cool.

The lack of reliability and quality control in MHs keeps me from buying new. (That and the fact that no manufacturer seems to want to make a 30' model as space-efficient as the one I already own.)
