I had the fun experience of loosing my brakes on my 2009 Georgetown RV last weekend. The brake line ruptured about mid coach due to rust, and now I am in the process of trying to find a shop that can repair the line. Does anyone have a shop near Baltimore County (East side) that they can recommend. I called the local Ford dealer that worked on it last time and they are no longer working on RV's (Al Packer).

any repair shop can make up a line for you. don't need a lift. just have to have the space to put it on the lot

The brake line, fittings, and the flaring tool are available at most large auto parts stores. Just make sure that you get the DOUBLE flaring tool, NOT the single flaring tool used by plumbers. Even Harbor Freight would have the double flaring tool.This is a job that should be able to be done by any basic garage with a Mechanic with the attitude that he wants to help you. It is not rocket science but he will have to know how to bleed your brake system after the repair.

Repair? I recommend full replacement with stainless brake lines.

I pretty much replaced them all like that, on a little hot rod, I once restored and if you can find SS, then so much the better.
