Do your brakes fade (continue all the way to the floor when you press the pedal) and still not stop your vehicle? Do they pulsate when applied, or squeal like a banshee?

Does it seem to take longer to stop that it did when your vehicle was new?

Each of these symptoms can indicate a major (or a minor) problem with your vehicle brakes.

Pulsating brakes might mean a warped rotor, or an out-of-round drum. Squealing is frequently caused by rust on the drum, the pads, or the rotor if disc brakes are installed. Fading brakes could be mechanical problems or hydraulic.

One sure way to avoid some of these issues is to move your motor home or RV at least once a month when stored. Drive it some distance, and use the brakes several times to keep the rust off the braking surfaces. Even driving it forward and/or back a few inches will cause the brake surfaces to rub against each other, partially cleaning them.
