Brakes overheating
I have a 2005 Coachmen Freelander Class C with about 33K miles on it. On two occasions I have had the brakes overheat and smell and the brake pedal go to the floor (it still stopped me but scared me)...

Sounds like a sticking caliber causing brakes to drag???

As I remember the Freelander it has a cab over bed. On the Class C with the overhead bunk area many of them will run water (Dew,rain, wet fog, AC) off the front of the cab over and right on the front wheels. The splash from those will wash the grease from the slides on the brake calipers. That will cause the brakes to overheat and have less braking power because you end up using on of the two brake pads. Best thing to do is replace the pads and take the calapers apart and clean the slides and regrease.. Then always cover the front wheels no matter what the weather when it setting for a while.
Or get them redone every few years..
