boachord Report post Posted June 25, 2013 I have a 2008 Beaver Contessa with 20,000 miles. The last outing, was driving it to and from the Allison Dealer where they serviced the transmission 3 weeks ago. I went to back the RV out of the shed this weekend. When I shift it in gear I can feel the trans. kick in to go forward or reverse but the drive wheels seems to be locked. Has this ever happen to anyone? How can I confirm if it is the parking brake or the brakes stuck on the rotors ? Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks, Bo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boachord Report post Posted June 26, 2013 I found out that the brakes pads were just rusty and were sticking to the rotor. I placed the coach in foward and reverse about 8 times and gave it a little throttle and they broke loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted June 26, 2013 Yes, having brake pads or shoes "weld" themselves to the disks/drums is a reasonably common phenomenon-- particularly if stored right after driving in rain or storing in a very humid area. Gently going from D-N-R-N-D.... usually brakes it loose. Be sure to have a foot ready to step on the service brake as soon as it brakes loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
