Today we were going to go camping, finally. However, today turned out to be a badly needed shake down run that brought to light a problem that could have been bad had we discovered it on a major road trip. We took the 1993 Roadtrek out on the town with my sister and family. Somehow during our stopping and starting after we had dropped them off at their car, we discovered one of the front brakes was sticking. We were close to calling a tow. We were going to go to Topeka to visit my friend and camp at his place where we could get an electric line. When we headed out, we noticed the problem before we left Kansas City. We ended up in KCK, in the bad part of KCK (even got approached by a prostitoad), but we got out ok. It got dicy on 169 northbound where there were no shoulders and the brake acted like it was going to lock up completely, but we made it home. We will take it in to Mike's Service Center on Monday to find out what the damage is. I suspect, that it, as many RV's do, sat for long periods of time. That can cause things like brake calipers to stick. Hopefully it is a brake job. I hope it doesn't mean we need a new rotor. We'll see.
