PARKING BRAKE LOCKED UP ON THE ROAD. 60MPH ON I-65 NORTH BOUND SOUTH OF BOWLING GREEN KY. TIRE BLEW BEFORE WE STOPPED - AS RESULT ? -ONE ON THE REAR DUALLY, (WE HAD PLANNED TO REPLACE TIRES WHEN WE GOT HOME) HAD TO DISCONNECT PARKING BRAKE ON SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. MILEAGE ON ODOMETER APPROX 37,000. LIMPED ON SHOULDER 15 MILES INTO BOWLING GREEN AND LEFT VEHICLE AT CAMPING WORLD. HAD ALL NEW TIRES INSTALLED AND RETURNED FOLLOWING WEEK TO DRIVE HOME TO MICHIGAN WITH AUTO PARK SYSTEM DISCONNECTED. USING WHEEL CHOCKS NOW. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A BETTER PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM AS THESE ARE A KNOWN ONGOING ISSUE.

ON VACATION IN OCT. OF 2013, IN OUR 2002 WINNEBAGO SIGHTSEER, ON A WORKHORSE CHASSIS, MADE BY GM, WE PULLED INTO A GAS STATION IN ASHEBORO, NORTH CAROLINA TO GET SOME GAS. WHEN WE WENT TO START THE VEHICLE, NO JUICE TO DASH OR STARTER-WE WERE DEAD IN THE WATER! HAD IT TOWED TO GREENSBORO, NC. AT THE GM RV GARAGE, THEY PUT A NEW IGNITION SWITCH IN, AND SAID THAT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE WORKHORSE RV. WE SPENT $600.00 OUT OF OUR OWN POCKET ! WE ALSO HAD TO STAY THERE FOR 3 DAYS OUT OF OUR TRIP. FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED WITH NAPA PART # KS6805. *TR
