A few questions (1981 Pace Arrow, Dodge 440)
Hi everyone! This is my first post on here, and we're super new to the site and the RV world, so please bear with me.
First - I just bought a 1981 Pace Arrow with a Dodge 440 motor. I believe it is 30 ft. I don't know what class it is. Is that a Class A, B or C?
Second - We bought it as a fixer-upper, and it didn't have a radiator in it. I found a replacement, installed it, and went to drive it home, and it didn't move. When I floored it (thinking it may have just been trying to get out of a rut, it very slowly budged, but not more then a foot. That's when I noticed that the parking brake control was not attached to the wall, due to being ripped off by whoever used it last (the wooden wall is rotted out apparently).
Ok, so my question is this: How do I get information on what to do about a stuck parking brake? I can't find anything on the internet (amazing, right?!). I followed the parking brake line under the RV and it seems to go into the bell housing... which I've never seen.
They just had the RV towed to their house about 2 weeks ago, so I don't understand how it was able to be towed, but won't move now, unless the towing company engaged the brake... if so, they get a thumbs up for brilliance!
The other thing about this whole situation is that the RV is parked in the sellers yard about an hour from me.
Any help with any of this would be so helpful! Thanks in advance guys!
