Brake sound when backing up

I've noticed that after a trip, when the coach has set up over night or longer, when I start to back up and apply the brakes there's a very loud rubbing sound and continues until I release the brake peddle. The first time this did this to me I drove around the block, came back to the house, stopped, puy it in reverse and it made no noise. Once I start the motor I do let it run for 5 or so minutes and let the pressures build up before I put in reverse. I thought I wasn't letting it run long enough in neutral. It does not make the noise after a long trip, either. Appreciate any help or advise you can offer.

Hi DHeb51,

Welcome to iRV2!
Info on RV please?
With no info, this sounds normal with cold break pads on cold discs.


Steve

I have seen this happen when you park for a while and rust builds up on the rotors. The pads slightly touch the rotors and if there is rust, You hear a slight scrubbing sound.

The brakes should also self-adjust when applied in reverse. You may be hearing the slack adjusters doing their job.
