The fellow that I was dealing with said that if an Motorhome is left sitting for a extended period of time. It should be left with the parking brake off. This will help prevent the brake caliper from seizing up.
I've never heard of this.
What are your opinions?
I would say it froze up due to lack of use!
While not 100% familiar with your MH, parking brakes seldom use the caliper and pads. Typicality it is a drum assembly inside the rotor.
Depending on the parking pral in the transmission is a bad idea as many have died or been seriously injured when it doesn't completely lock.
