Chevrolet Auto Park

I didn't think thoroughly enough about the downfalls of the Chevrolet chases when I bought my last motorhome. I've sure thought enough about it since. The previous owner had disabled the system (I still don't know how) so that it does not/cannot apply the brake. Instead of a functional Auto Park, I got a sticky note on the dash reminding me to disengage the brake before I drove off. After missing that step a few times and getting tired of brake smoke, I build an electronic alarm to remind me to take off the brake when shifting out of park . . . and to apply the brake when shifting back into park. The alarm works perfect, ever time; and now I've got the routine down real good. I wish I'd had the alarm sooner.

Now I've go an emergency brake pedal that goes to the floor and a brake that does not hold so good. I'm suspecting that my shoes are toast, so I'm looking at opening the brake up and having a look. Anyone had a go at this? Also, are there parts (such as shoes) available, or should I rely on the local clutch and brake rebuilders? I would really like to see this thing grab really good so I can trust the motorhome to stay put when I've applied the brake.
