UPDATE:.....UPDATE:.....UPDATE:.....UPDATE:.....UPDATE:.....UPDATE:..
First I want to thank EVERYONE who has replied to and helped me with my brake problem. I have an auto mechanic friend who came out to look at the my Motor Home and it turned out the my driver side disk brake pad had a rock that somehow had gotten lodged between the rotor and pad which caused it to drag and gouge the rotor. I also found that on the passenger side the rotor had a crack in it so I have decided to replace both rotors, pads and if the calipers need replacing, do them also.
I plan on selling my Motor Home this spring and downsize since for me I don't really need this big of a rig. I want a clear conscience that whomever buys my rig, it getting a safe and usable Motor Home. I have enjoyed my 29' but it really needs a family and not one person like myself. I plan on buying a smaller trailer and pull it with my car. That is really all I need at this point in my life.
I cannot say enough, how much I have appreciated the feedback and help I have received on this issue. Seriously.
For anyone else who may be having problems with their brakes seizing up, look for a possible rock between the pads and rotor.
