F53 Brake Advice
I am looking to replace the brake system on our 1996 Dolphin 535 (Ford F53), as the pads are worn and have begun to gouge the rear rotors. Not to mention the entire system is old, so I want to replace...

Just saying, how many more 1,000's of miles are you planning on using your MH?
Very good point, and one that I considered, however, I do expect to put quite a few miles on the motorhome, and I figured in the end if I'm spending this much on calipers, pads, lines and all the tools, may as well get new rotors as well. I figure for a couple hundred more I know they're not warped or cracked and they're severe duty (no idea what's on now).

An often overlooked culprit when a caliper seems to be sticking is the rubber flex line between the vehicle's axle brake line and the caliper.
I considered this.... if it's ballooning with pedal depression then the piston wouldn't be receiving as much pressure (was my logic), so I did indeed purchase new brake lines, a total of 3 for the rear actually - 1 for each side and one for middle somewhere I haven't actually located yet :)

Just a FYI, I had to pick-up an adapter to mount new brake line onto the old brake tee.

Thankfully, the new lines appear to be the same exact thing on the MH now. Time will tell for sure, thanks for the heads up.
