Auto Park Brake Issue or Not?
Just purchased a 96' Winnebago Adventurer 32 on the Chevy chassis. During the test drive, when I tried to put the RV in reverse, the auto park brake would engage and you would have to wiggle the shift...

Great, thanks for the heads up, I'll check behind the axles tomorrow to see if I can see the lube, so that's a no-go on the drive it to mechanic to have it looked at? I should have it towed instead?
Also, I forgot to mention, when I apply the foot emergency brake pedal, there is almost no resistance, is that normal or does that indicate an APB problem?
And as far as the adjustment for the microswitch, would installing a new one fix the issue or is it only adjustment that can fix it?
Also, as far as the APB, even if that's not the problem now, they seem to be notorious for leaving people stranded. I read they can be rebuilt for ~ $400 (plus I imagine a couple hundred bucks in labor to have mechanic remove and reinstall), is this an investment I should make b4 I even think about taking this 20 year old RV out? (it has 56k miles btw).
Oh, and one last noob question, as far as removing the covers, just pop them off with a tire tool? I dont want to wreck them, lol.
