Hello all, I recently purchased an 89 gran villa foretravel and am having difficulty finding rear drums and shoes. It is a pusher and has air brakes.
Has anyone done an upgrade from the old Eaton wedge style brakes to the new Q style? If so, what parts interchanged. I can change the spider assembly as it is a bolt on. If anyone swapped out the entire rear end.. which one works?

There is also a wealth of knowledge and information at foreforums. We're looking for our next motorhome. It will be a Foretravel so I have been spending a lot of time there. The suggestion to reach out to MOT was a good one as well. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience with Foretravel units. Good luck with your coach.
The ORED chassis design and specs was sold to Freightliner/Daimler years ago.
I suggest you email Les Michaels at fcccservice@daimler.com and have your chassis number and Vin # handy.
Les has been super helpful for me when I had to get a new passenger rear rotor and brake pads.
The 1989 Gran Villa could be an ORED (Oshkosh Rear Engine Diesel) chassis OR a Foretravel 8 outboard air bad suspension (U280 and U300). Pretty much no overlap between them.
