Need to know some more specifics of your rig. Is it a 1972, 270? If so, it is probably a Dodge M375 chassis. If you attach a picture of it, we can probably help you figure out the Travco model. Also, if you look at and photo the tag that is mounted on the firewall (left side, when the front access panel is opened) you can decode the chassis.\n I'm in the process of rebuilding the entire brake system on my 1971 270. Some parts are tough to come by. If you have trouble finding some brake parts, try Geoffrey at Alretta, he knows these old Dodge's brakes well, brakeparts@mac.com. He helped me with some of the tough ones. Be prepared. Like anything rare (parts and specific knowledge), they can be costly relative to Rock Auto and the like.

Welcome!\nBrakes are a common issue on these coaches. It can get expensive if you don't do the work yourself. The trick is to drive them on a regular basis to "exercise" them. Sounds like you probably have a 270 model.
