Good morning, made the switch from class c to class a. Just bought a 2001 Georgetown 30 footer. On the way home the auto park light turn on and started leaking oil, make it ok. After reading all problems with the brake system (did my homework after I bought it, big mistake). All I wanted was to be on a Chevy chassis. I know me as I will be driving this thing would always be on my mind and I won't enjoy the trip.
I want to put a manual brake, I have spoken to some guys at MILL supply, they have parts for the Chevy workhorse square trucks like the bread trucks and gave me some part numbers.
Is there anyone out there that can help me with this, how to install it, have they done it. Am to the point that and thinking of selling it and going back to class c, but I really like this class a. Sorry for the long post. And thank u in adva
Why not just fix the darn thing, like you would with anything else that broke. I had one for 9rs in an 18yr old coach and yes, I did fix it now and then, but it's not all that bad a system, once you understand it and carry a few spare parts on board.
There's and AP guru, that goes by the handle of the oldusedbear, that will help you along and doesn't charge a cent. He will also rebuild your actuator if needed for a paltry sum. The Chevy engine in your year is probably the best bet and does surprise me that it even has AP, since a 30ft coach can't be over 15K lbs. Double check if it might have a parking pawl gear and if so, I would then not hesitate in installing a brake lever.
Will the coach hold itself on a slight grade with the way it is now?
