During my last towing of the RV I found out the RV brakes were not working. Today upon visual inspection I found one hydraulic brake line T junction came apart above the middle axle, and the connection on the driver's side rear wheel outside calibers disconnected. I have taken pictures and it is currently available for inspection but I need to get it repaired soon. My wife and my safety and all other motorists traveling in front of us as the 21,000 pound trailer had no function brakes. It has not yet been confirmed by a dealer or independent service. No one has inspect it. Tow Vehicle brake controller indicated sending a signal to the RV brake system. I noticed some kind of fluid or lubricant on the drivers side rear tire but dismissed it as being excess grease from the bearings.
