Help !!! where is my master cylinder

I just acquired a 87 Coachmen Royal 36' its a Chevrolet chassis best I can tell. Gas not diesel. My neighbor drove it over and got out and told me it has no brakes and he is not sure where the master cylinder is. I looked it over for a few minutes before dark but did not find it.

Does anyone "know" where it is?

Thank you

Thanks Ed, I will look for it again in the morning. He said it was fine in November but who knows. Maybe I will get real lucky and it only be a line.

Haven't looked that closely at the '88 Winnie we recently bought - but seems to me there is a brake fluid canister accessible on the front engine bulkhead that is easily accessed from front of MH under the "hood"...

Might need to add fluid and bleed the brakes.

I found it on drivers side on the inside of frame behind the wheel. You can feel it but not see it. I found by taking off the inside cowl/hood I can see it and think I can reach it.

Thanks Everyone, I am sure I will have many more questions in the future.

Well let the fun begin !! its a busted line up front. I turned it around in the yard and had the cowl open inside. When I hit the pedal fluid squirted somewhere on the exhaust right at the engine sending up a puff of smoke.
