AIR SYSTEM ??

[Wayne Kotila]

You also could have an air brake hose leaking,I had this happen to a 1985 PT40. Whenyou step on the brake and hold it, the rubber hoses to the brake pods are pressurized and I had several of my hoses leaking where the fittings were crimped on the ends of the hoses. IfI repeatedly used the brakes or held my foot on the brake at a stop light my pressure would drop like a rock. To checkIf your hoses are leaking, walk aroundyour coach with someone stepping on the brake pedal, if you have a leak youshould be able to here it. I had to change all my hoses but the good thing was that they were inexpensive, I purchased the correct lengthhydraulic hoses and brass adaptor fittings at Mills Fleetfarm for a cost of under $10.00 per hose complete.
