I have a 2005 26 ft Fleetwood P chassis and on a recent trip the left front caliper stuck and overheated. I had trouble locating a caliper until I remembered to check OEMY'S web site for P30 part # I went to the nearest NAPP store and bought 2 calipers. Installed them and continued my trip. A week later a back caliper stuck and I had smoke out the rt back wheel. Back to a NAPA got 2 more calipers fixed the problem. My MH has 25,000 miles and it did sit up about 3 months this summer. I guess the P32 have brake trouble also. One day from home my alternator quit and the engine started missing.
I cranked up the generator and just drove it home. I found a burnt plug wire and removed the alternator. Also I had a back tire blowout (third one this year) so I replaced 4 rear tires. And RV travel is suppose to be fun!

Don't know what to tell you the P chassis does have a history of the brakes feeling soft but not of caliper problems as the W series. They do need the same maintenance needs as the W series, the brake fluid needs to be flushed at least every 2 years. With that many blowouts I would ask what does the rig weight, how you determined the inflation psi, how old are the tires and what brand as I don't want to buy any? Hopefully you have had your share of challenges for awhile!
