Two days ago, while driving my 2018 Thor Venetian 40a, I was driving about 70 mph when the parking brake locked up my rear brakes! Needless to say I navigated to a safe place with smoke billowing out of the Drivers side rear wheel well. That was followed by 8 hours waiting for a tow truck and not being sure what happened. Today I got a call from the shop foreman at the repair facility asking for clarification of what happened. When I described the events that occurred he said that he suspected a failure of the parking brake diaphragm. He said he's seen this several times on units with a Freightliner chassis from the 2017 time frame (give or take a few years).
Has this happened to any of you or are you familiar with anyone this has happened to? Needless to say, this was a scary situation and has my wife ready to quit RVing.
