We blew out the water lines before the first freeze but were lazy and didn't get out all the battery items out or do the deep clean for winter storage. So we decided to get it done this last weekend. Unfortunately our brake light was on and the brake pedal went to the floor with no resistance. Fortunately a call to our Good Sam's Platinum roadside assistance has a tow truck winging their way to the RV to get it towed to a local repair place. Crossing our fingers on the cost for the fix but good brakes are important so this wasn't a do it yourself job.
Edit: It turned out to be a bad master cylinder. The part was only $71 but the whole repair was $531.
2nd edit: We picked up the RV and the brakes work great but there is a high pitched whine to the engine that was not there before.
I'm going to call them tomorrow to see if they have an idea of what could be causing it. If they took belts off or anything that may be the cause.
So sorry to see your rig on the "hook". We've had our share, and hope that it doesn't happen again.

Thanks Bob. Glad it happened at the storage lot and not somewhere on the road. Place just called us today and said it was ready to go.
