THE AIR LINES ON MY MOTORHOME WERE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED CAUSING THEM TO RUB TOGETHER IN TRANSIT. EVENTUALLY A HOLE WORE IN ONE OF THE AIR LINES CAUSING MY BRAKES TO TOTALLY FAIL. PLEASE NOTE FREIGHLINER LLC IS THE MANUFACTURER OF THE CHASSIS. THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. ALSO, PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MODEL IS EXPEDITION. I NOTED BOUNDER SINCE IT IS THE MODEL CLOSEST TO MINE.
