I have a 1992 Coachmen Motorhome on a GM Forward Control Chassis (‘91). It has a problematic hydraulic system. "Autopark" ties together the Brakes, Emergency Brake, Park & Power Steering. I've spent over $4000 in the last year and it's not fixed yet!

Chassis = M-340 MB Chev

VIN 1GBKP37N4M3315805.

Here’s something I found that I found interesting posted on

“Need Moderator with special expertise. I have a motorhome on a Chev P-30 chassis which has a special "auto apply" parking brake system. An expert in this field will know what I am refering to. The brake is held OFF with hydralic presssure and is automatically activated by a heavy spring when the gear shift lever is moved out of park. Also has yellow knob to pull in order to activate the brake when the shift lever is out of park and in one of the gears. System was malfunctioning, took to Chev service center. Replaced hydra pump and high pressure switch. System still not working and has since locked up. Oh yes, the brake is a drum type which locks up on the drive shaft. Anyone having ANY knowledge of the system and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. Still under warranty but Chev tech support not any smarter than the service center which is very willing to keep on replacing parts. (no cost to me, except very inconvient.) Thanks”.
