Indeed Will.  I just redid the brakes on a Class C Chevy Van based
motorhome 
that I inherited.  I had hand-waving estimates of 800 to 1200 dollars.  I 
swapped out the calipers and pads and one rubber brake line to relieve the

pull to the left and it only cost me about $200 total.  The fact that I
had 
already done it on the Jeep made me confident that it would not be a
problem 
and it was easy too.  The only problem I had was getting the brake line to

loosen up where it connected to the metal line.  A couple of days of PB 
Blaster took care of that.  Saved a lot of cash there that I am going to
put 
into tires now as it has the original tires from 1992 (really).

Idle question:  If you were going to put 6 tires on a Class C motorhome, 
which ones would you choose?
