I OWN A 1998 HOLIDAY RAMBLER, CLASS A MOTORHOME, PURCHASED NEW, BUILT ON A CHEVROLET CHASSIS. ON A RECENT TRIP I EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING. HIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC SITUATION, BUT FORTUNATELY DID NOT. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE FLUID OVERHEATED. I BELIEVE THAT THE PLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE FLUID RESEVOIR HELPED CONTRIBUTE TO THE FAILURE. ON THIS VEHICLE THE RESEVOIR IS INBOARD OF THE DRIVER-SIDE FRONT WHEEL, BETWEEN THE CHASSIS AND THE ENGINE, WHERE HEAT FROM THE ENGINE CAN AFFECT IT.*AK
