I have owned several trucks with air brakes in the past and they have all had had backing plates to keep road dirt and the like from getting onto the brake shoes and assemblies and I find it odd that our motorhome does not have these. Next time you get a chance check on your Roadmaster chassis and see if you have backing plates....Alan

I don't have any on mine as I can see the shoes clearly. I don't think this has anything to do with the Roadmaster Chassis though. The brakes should be part of the entire axle assembly which will be made by someone else. I think my rears axles are Dana, and my front axle is Meritor.
I'm assuming a lot of other manufactures are the same.
