After spending a long day fighting with my camper that would not move and reading a bunch of posts on line. the autobreak on the chevy p30 frame does not have a clevis pin to disengange.
couple thing to try: first of all there is a resavior under the camper behind the stairs. look for an aluminum box about 16X12. fill it with tranny fluid. if that does not free up the brake (did not for me) then you need to seperate the cable from that box. I personally tried for an hour and could not get the long 4 inch nut seperated from the box. My cable seperated.. I cut the cable with a Saw's all and the camper free'd up and moves. You will see a 12in round drum and the end of the drive shaft. this is the cause of the problem. Not really needed unless you live in the Alps.
Most prob accure with the auto part caused by fluid leak and will not release the breaks and back off the transmission. If you have to move the RV don not cut any cables, follow the cable to the servo and you'll see a long nut and furthere back the jam nut. Release it from the barrow, un screw it in order to release the break cable.

David;
what you did to your Motorhome is VERY UNWISE and VERY dangerous-You are NOW liable fot the lives of any one and any damages you & your RV occur--Auto Park is the ONLY parking Brake you have--DO not tell others to CUT brake cables-
if they took your ADVICE and theirs rolled---YOU are possibly Liable,
AUTO-Park system IS designed to Hold Heavy RV's in place while parked,
THERE is NO parking Pawl in the transmission to hold it,
Auto-Park is NOT hard to fix-
I hope yours wont kill someone -rolling away-
I've had a similar problem as was able to disconnect the brake line at the assebly. I dont believe David was advising people to cut it. but certainly if your in a bind (no pun Intended) this will get you to the nearest service station to have the system repaired.
Rich you need to relax buddy, If you dont chock the wheels your asking for problems with or without this brake. Brush up on your law also, just becuase I tell you to drive your car in reverse on the highware does not make me responisible if you do.

You say the auto park is not hard to fix - well - how DO you fix it???? My motorhome is sitting blocking my driveway and the cut the brake line is sounding mighty tempting at this point!
Rich,
I have e-mailed you before and you seem to be very kknowledgeable. I have replaced the power steering pump (1992 Fleetwood P30 chassis), bled it according to your instructions. Power steering works good but auto park still seems to be locked up. I see no leaks. Also the engine lugs when I step on the gas. Are these 2 related? Thanks so much for your help.
