Brake Squeal

My problem concerns a high pitched squeal the coach(front brakes) just before coming to a complete stop. This happens in both wet and dry weather.
Front brakes were rebuilt but problem still exists.

Thanks for helping.

It could be from glazed brakes. This happens from gentle driving. Take the RV out to an empty road, get up to about 40 mph and apply the brakes HARD. A couple of repeated hard stops should help burn off the glaze and quiet down the brakes. It also is a good test of your storage ability, anything not properly stored will spill out onto the floor!!

Thanks for the advice which I tried with no improvement. I'll make sure the rollers are properly lubed.
