    I am purchasing a 2012 378XL and have questions about the HydroMax auxiliary brake booster pump that runs all the time when the ignition switch is on and the motor is not running and brake pedal is not depressed. It is also very noisy; much more so that the new 15 and 16 models. My question...

    Brake Control up-grade for TV

    At present I have a Tekonsha Voyager Brake Control installed in the TV and it seems to work OK on short hauls but I'm not comfortable with relaying on how close you can get the LED light to the correct color. Seams like I'm always adjusting it. (yes I have read and follow the instructions in the...

    Benz Service Costs, Quality, Brake Issues etc.

    Brought my 14 chassis Sprinter 3500 Solera to a local Benz dealership. A closer one declined to look at the brakes claiming they didn't have a lift high enough to inspect the brakes. I informed the service adviser that; 1) The DEF tank was full and to NOT add any; 2) Brakes were spongy on...

    Brake/Turn Indicator Light not Working

    The left hand brake/turn indicator light on my A122 isn't working. The signals on the TV are working OK. Is this a fuse or wiring problem, or possibly a bulb? Thanks in advance, Tad

    RoadMaster Invisibrake

    Are you using the Invisibrake for auxiliary breaking. If so, does it run your battery down to where you have to jump start the car at the end of a trip? Before you ask, I do have the running lights on. Paul Sent from my iPad using Forest River Forums

    How do I find someone to install Invisibrake?

    I've been using the Brake Buddy Classic on my Berkshire and now my Georgetown motor home but it's kind of a pain to do that every time so I would really like to have the Invisibrake installed but I can't find anyone in the KC area that will install it. I actually went to Roadmasters website and...

    Squealing brakes

    On our current trip, noticed some brake squealing. 2013 XL 378 with 3,500 miles. Had quite a bid of hills to deal with. Encountered the noise after several longer downhill runs while using the brakes. I suspect the brake pads where warm to hot because the squeals stopped a short time later...
