RV Holiday Rambler 2007 will not move

My 2007 Holiday Rambler 2007 Neptune will not move forward or in reverse. The parking beak is released it has air pressure but will not move. You can feel the transmission engage but the vehicle is locked in place. The rear break chamber shaft moves out when break engaged or parking break set. Does a Anyone have any suggestions. Comments appreciated

Thanks

    Be sure to BLOCK THE WHEELS BEFORE GOING UNDER THERE. Once you free them up, you sure don't want it to roll while you are under there.


    Sorry, your right, I just made an assumption that that would be done ,my bad :-)

  • Rock it, in forward gear and in reverse.
    Keep working it.

  • Yes sir, tried that rocking motion still won't move Air PSI 100.
  • your brakes may be locked...try a rocking motion.sounds like the brakes are frozen by parking brake...I am assuming you have plenty of air psi in the system
