I have a 1997 motorhome with a p30 chassis. The auto brake failed due to excessive leakage. This caused the motorhome to completely lock up and could not be moved by engine power.

What 1997 Bounder Motorhome owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Repeated brake failure. *ph it seemed that the brakes would stop functioning after the vehicle was stopped in stop and go traffic, stop signs or light. The dealer determined that the problem may be too much engine heat to the master cylinder, therefore they installed a heat shield between the engine and master cylinder. The vehicles parking brake stopped work. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who determined that the emergency brake shoes burned out.
We own a 1997 fleetwood bounder chassis # [xxx] and fleetwood # [xxx]. The driver side and passenger side windows are insulated glass the seals have broken allowing moisture to enter between the two pains of glass. It's becoming increasing difficult to see out of the side view mirrors, this is a very dangerous condition we have had several close calls. These widows should be of a better quality or single pane so this would not happen. Many members of our bounder organization are having similar problems. Please look into this before one of us gets seriously injured. *la information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The tires on the motorhome experienced excessive tread wear, dealership determined the cause was improper front end alignment.
When going over bridges,the front end vibrates badly where it causes a loss of control. The front springs are too long from where they move from left to right. Please provide further information. *ak
Fuel pump failed. Yh
