Thanks for the info. I'm assuming the attached website is the correct one.

With the help of two very nice gentlemen associated with this website, my wife & I adjusted the autopark brake shoes on our motorhome today. It's working fine & we are ready to hit the road again. Thanks FMCA for being here when we needed you.

My 1995 Fleetwood Southwind 33' motorhome is my only avenue to a relaxing freedom like none other. That is a true statement except when the autobrake fails. On a trip last year the brake came on while I was traveling at sixty miles per hour down the road. A $400.00 repair consisting of two switches at the control box under the home got me going again.
On a trip last weekend the the brake quit completely. I had to chock the wheels to keep the home from rolling down a grade. I'm not sure what the problem is this time. My main problem with all of these autobrake problems is the expense to have them repaired. I live on a fixed income & the money spent on these brake problems could be spent on gasoline or campsite fees.
Who Is Credible Concerning Tire Pressures ?

I've read scores of recommended tire pressures for motorhomes from numerous websites. Most all of them seemed to make sense when I was reading them. I own a 1995 Fleetwood Southwind 33' motorhome. Six months ago I had a new set of Goodyear tires model G670RV installed. The size being 225/70R 19.5, load range "F" with a sidewall maximum of 95 psi cold.
The tires were purchased at and installed by CamperWorld in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. These people are a large full service operation & they sell & install hundreds of tires every year. They set the tire pressure at 95 psi on my tires. When I questioned the service manager, he told me to maintain 95 psi in each tire no matter what weight the motorhome was if I expected the warranty to be honored in case of failure. From what I have read & heard for years this gentleman is incorrect.
Regardless, I have maintained 95psi in the new tires. The tires appear to be wearing evenly & the rig handles exceptionly well. I'm perplexed somewhat that a dealer does not follow the pratices of the majority of the tire experts across the country.
