need info on 1997 Safari Serengeti braking system m series

Recently purchased a 1997 Safari Serengeti 38-foot Class A motorhome only to find out the braking system needs an overhaul.  It has hydraulic brakes, not air brakes.   I cannot find any spec pages or an owner's manual anywhere.   Can someone direct me to where I can find more information, I will need to replace the brakes.   Thanks in advance!

  • There’s about a zero % chance a Cat dealer will want to have anything to do with a 30 year old RV. CST doesn’t even make RVs. Maybe if there was an engine issue presuming it has a Cat diesel, they might look at it. 
    besides that sounds like about the most expensive way to go and the OP seems to be on a quest to diy brake job on a diesel pusher!! Lofty goal. 
    Find the chassis mfg and start there. 

  • Take it to a Caterpillar dealership--or phone them. Failing that any semitruck service center should be able to help.
