I take it it is a F53 and if so here is the information for the 2003 F53 Parking Brake, I think 2004 would be the same.

Minnie = Winnebago Class C I believe. No driveline brake, right?

The above about the F53 also applies to the E450-E550 Motorhome that also had the driveline brake.
Parking Brake —E-150 - E-450
—
On E-150, E-250 and E-350, the parking brake is a drum-in-hat type system mounted in the hub of the disc brake. On the E-450 and E-550, the parking brake is mounted to the transmission extension housing. All systems are controlled by a foot-operated parking brake control mounted on the steering column support bracket.
On E-150, E-250 with multiplier, and E-350, the parking brake cable is self-adjusting. On E-250 with tension limiter, E-450 and E-550, the parking brake cable is adjustable.

Subford, not to hijack the thread, but what can you tell me about the E-brake light switch? Mine is intermittent and when the dash light won't come on, I can't deploy my jacks. I can't find the damned thing and sometimes it takes jamming the peddle down 20 times or more.

Have you checked on the parking brake assembly under the dash for a switch that activates the parking brake light on the instrument cluster that could either be faulty or have a loose connection?
Just a thought--good luck

I do not know what jack system you have and do not know if you have a separt switch on the Parking Brake for the jack system or not.
Do what LVJ58 said above.
I would guess that the "PARK BRAKE GROUND" in the bottom diagram goes to the Jack System to tell it that you have the Parking Brake set.
Here is a the location diagram of the plug for the Parking Brake light.
And the wiring:

Had the same problem with the E brake switch 2000 F-53 chassis. The switch and connector was gunked up and dirty, the switch would stick. Cleaned it all up cruise control, levelers and the dash light all worked fine.

Here is where the that "PARK BRAKE GROUND" wire goes from the diagram above.

Found it!! I pulled the false cover off that hides the wires & fuse boxes and could finally see THE wire going to the switch. It had plier marks on it from some previous owner and wiggling it got me a connection. Sounds like a new plug is in order when I can get to it.
Thanks!
