Brakes locked on Holiday Rambler

Going forward pulls brake shoes tighter. Going in reverse pushes them looser.

This is true if it's a floating mounting system... usually has an adjusting mechanism opposite the activating mechanism. Class 6-8 drum brakes are usually pin mounted... not floating so no difference in direction.

Wonder if the OP is still stuck???:h

Still stuck, have will call in Mobil mechanic to help fix

My 2006 Holiday Ambassador has drum brakes. If it sits a month or more with high humidity, the shoes (metallic I think) do rust to the drums. I gas it in D, gas in R, and back and forth till the rig will go! Haven't broken anything YET! Brakes are probably slightly warm when I park.

FWIW since I started doing the Air Brake System checks I've not had stuck shoe.

Mechanic came over, spent about 4 hours working on getting brakes free. Pulled rear tires to get brakes to release, told me to block tires and not use parking brake when RV sets for a period of time. So after all that and 400 Dollars to repair I am now fixed.......

Unfortunately, the parking brake will still set when air bleeds down.
