Upon investigation, dicovered a brake line hose had a rub-though from rubbin on adjacent tire, causing a complete loss of brake fluid. At highway speed the hose would contact the tire. At stopped position the hose would not contact the tire. The steel brake lines were mou ted on the outside of the frame rail. The hose connection at the caliper was positioned such that it caused a loop that was near the tire. A new brake line hose was installed avoiding the previous positioning.

The new, longer hoses addressed the full axel travel, which the original hoses did not.

What 2014 Drv Elite Suites All owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The 5th wheel pinbox is ripping away from the frame. Noticed a lot of excessive up and down movement in the hitch while lowering weight of rv onto truck. Inspection reveled that the metal is tearing in the area I can see. Lippert's (the frame manufacture) response was due to the age (6 years) of the rv they would deny financial responsibility. Drv has not answered my email to them..
