I HAVE A 2003 NATIONAL DOLPHIN MOTORHOME WITH APPROXIMATELY 7,342 MILES. I EXPERIENCED THE LEFT REAR BRAKE HEATING UP AROUND APRIL 2007 AND TOOK IT TO A WORKHORSE DEALER. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND A BRAKE SENSOR WAS REPLACED ON THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. THIS MONTH, JULY 2008, WE WERE DRIVING TO A LOCAL PARK AND, WAS TOLD THAT 3 CALIPERS CEASED, AFTER WE LIMPED BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. MY WIFE AND GRANDDAUGHTER WERE WITH ME WHEN THE BRAKES TIGHTENED UP AND I COULD NOT DRIVE THE MOTORHOME ANY FASTER THAN 35MPH. THEN THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND SEVERAL TIMES THE BRAKE PEDAL BOTTOMED OUT ON THE FLOOR CAUSING ME TO ALMOST REAR END SEVERAL VEHICLES. HAD A MOTORCYCLE OR PEDESTRIAN CROSSED IN FRONT OF ME
