Drum brakes ????? Who puts those on anymore.??..Disc should be standard, but they don't even offer them as an option???? What's up with that????
I looked back in the thread and didn't see a reference to drum brakes. Did you? The XCS chassis of the Palazzo has front air disc brakes here. Freightliner implies that drum brakes are on the rear axle. Drum brakes are good and dependable.
I have two threads going and this response was in the wrong thread. It should have been under "Palazzo Brakes" or here: http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/27068742.cfm
You can read there that disc brakes are standard on the chassis but Thor chose the drum brake option while still advertising disk brakes.
