Thank you!Hard brakes -- on 1976 airstream.Hi, I recently bought a 1976 airstream motor home and the brakes, while they do work, take a lot of leg strength to operate, and to hold the vehicle in place when idling in Drive. I know the brakes have been thoroughly bled, and all "basic" brake maintenance has been performed. Anyone else have this problem?Re: Help for a newbie?thank you to everyone that's been replying. It's much appreciated!Re: Help for a newbie?Thanks for the punch list!Re: Help for a newbie?Thanks. I tried that, and was surprised to find that Airstream doesn't offer repair handbooks or owner's manuals for their motor homes prior to 1979. So no luck there!Re: Help for a newbie?thanks, I'll try that,, though I think the oven is the only original appliance left. Without an owner's manual, we don't know about the basics, like winterizing the unit, operating the climate control system, the water pump, maintaining the generator, waste disposal, campground hookups. I could go on and on.Help for a newbie?My wife and I recently bought a 1976 Argosy 28 motor home and we have no previous RV experience. Making things tougher, this RV came with no maintenance manual, owner's manual, or original documentation of any kind. Can anyone tell me how to get originals or reproductions?
