DIY Brake Inspection for Thor Majestic

Newbie question: does anyone know of a good tutorial for self brake inspection on a regularly basis?

I have been trying to find RV brake inspections on Youtube but so far all of them seems to be targeted for trailers.

Try Ford Van inspections. You are on a Ford E chassis not an RV chassis

No different than a car inspection. Might even be easier if you have rear disc brakes.

If you ever need to change them, Powerstop might have them with slotted and cross drilled rotors. I put them on my suv and they're great. They do carry some for e450 chassis

I always treated my class c brakes just like my regular vehicles. Jack the coach, remove the wheel(s), inspect the rotors, pads, hoses. Look for crazing and heat damage on the rotors, condition of the hoses, thickness of the pads. Replace the wheel(s). Mark it as done.
