Ford V-10 Hydromax brake fluid reservoir

[Tim Verhaegh]

I want to check the fluid level in my Hydromax reservoir but I can't see the level lines because of the difficult location of the reservoir. How far up in the reservoir should the fluid be normally?
Thanks for any help.

My 2012 Thor Outlaw has a panel on the dash that gets removed for brake reservoir access. Does your coach not have an access hole? If not I would believe that the level should be somewhere between 1/2 to 3/4 inch below the top.

my book says clean the reservoir cap before removal
visually inspect level
add to max do not fill above line
use only super dot 4 for mh
I have never checked but the line might be in the cap

If you go online ford has a 39.99 oil change special they did my mh.
pulled it in and the tech came to it. Then ask how to check the brake res.

On the older ones I worked on we needed to insure key was off so electric pump would not run then pump pedal 30 times to empty accumulator. The fluid level then should be to the max level. The newer systems may be different.
