2008 F-53 Chassis
Any ideas on reason for my motorhome to pull to left when I brake. I have new tires, had front end aligned, new brake pads. Thanks!

tropical36--are you referring to tire air pressure as the first thing to check? I think the F53 uses (and has always used) hydroboost brakes, rather than air over hydraulic of some sort, so that's the only somewhat relevant air pressure I can think of.
In my experience, a sticky brake caliper can feel like a pull to the opposite side when braking, when it's more accurately a constant pull to that side all the time...so check your right brakes as well as the left. Motorhome brake calipers are somewhat prone to getting sticky since they tend to sit unused for rather lengthy periods of time and possible accumulate corrosion etc. There are, of course, other causes of sticky or intermittent braking.
Yes, low tire pressure, of course and the rig will pull in the direction of the tire that is low, due to friction or dragging for some reason.
As for brake boost, yes and one and the same as the power steering pump on a gas coach. There are some air over hydraulic systems on DP's too.
