Anyone has any suggestions on getting a used emergency brake on a Ford F53 chassis from a Winnebago 2005 Class A? New one is 1,600. I live in Orlando Fla.

I don't know your chassis, but I'm knowledgeable in HD Brakes.. fill in the blanks below...
Do you have air brakes or hydraulic brakes? If you have hydraulic brakes, do you have a large drum on the drive shaft and a band that goes around the drum to serve as an emergency brake?

Thanks
lankfour,
Your F-53 chassis most likely has the "ZF" parking brake, correct? If so, it's on the rear of the transmission and is cable operated, correct? May I ask, why is it you want to get a new or used one? Is it not working correctly? Is it leaking auto-trans fluid? Ford says they're "not rebuildable" but, as usual, I (and many others) have proved Ford wrong on that. I have plenty of pictures of mine apart if you'd like to see how it looks. Let me know.
