Good day, my husband has been trying to figure out where do you add brake fluid in our 2005 Damon Challenger. He said that he has looked everywhere and cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated.

The master cylinder is right in front of the brake pedal out in front, behind the hood. It will be up high, almost behind the windshield wiper.
Now, why is he adding brake fluid ? If he did brake work, OK, but if the brake light is on, it's usually more the just low brake fluid.
Worn out brake pads, leak in a line, leaking calipers.....
Well the light did come on and we were going to start there and see if that was the issue. And then go from there. We have not seen anything leaking or any spots of fluid under the Motorhome
Shine a light on the reservoir to see which section is low. Keep in mind that as the brake pads wear down, the fluid level drops. Brake pads wear to much and expensive parts are destroyed.
Every cylinder I've seen, the reservoirs are connected as you fill. There is a baffle so one blown line doesn't drain ALL the fluid from each side, but pouring into either cap will fill both once it flows over the baffle.
Pad wear on disc brakes lets the piston push further, taking more fluid. That is normal and doesn't indicate a leak. A good time to inspect the pads for thickness, and also flush the fluid. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, bad for rusting out the brake cylinders and causing leaks, or lowering the boiling point, which can lead to loss of brakes in extreme overheating.
