Newish motorhome, squeaky brakes
Forgive me for being an ignorant newbie, but I've got a question about my motorhome's brakes.
The rig in question is a 2016 Thor ACE 30.1 (bought new in September, under 5,000 miles on it now,) but I don't think the answer is specific to any brand or line. It's built on a 18,000 lb gross Ford F-53 chassis but, again, I don't think the answer is going JG to depend on that.
Ever since the drive home after taking delivery, and up to the last I drove it last week, I've noticed that the brakes squeak. Not as in a squeak with the movement of applying or retracting, but a continuous sound for the duration of braking. But not always. Only sometimes.
I'm old enough to have known to replace brake linings when rivets rubbing the drums made a squeak like that. But that squeak wouldn't come and go. This does.
Should I be concerned? Should I make haste to a Ford truck dealer?
