So its drums on all four brakes. They did say when they brought it back from one of the test drives that the left front drum was very hot and difficult to take back off because it almost welded itself on, whereas the right side was cool. It is a shop that specializes in class A RV's but they said they've never run into this issue before. It tracked perfectly straight prior to the fronts being replaced. They told me the slacks should automatically adjust. Today they said they are putting the old drums back on with new shoes to see if the same issue presents. If it doesnt then they are going to have the drums turned if they arent too thin and call it good. The only other option was to order an American made set up drums and they are $1500 each.

So our 2005 Monaco Knight has been in the shop now for nearly two weeks because they cant find front brakes that fit/work. We are currently stuck in the Phoenix area now because of this. The back brakes have been replaced and work fine, but every time they put new drums and shoes on the front brakes (5 times now) and they test drive it, it begins pulling to the right when the brakes are applied. So they had the drums modified at another shop, still same problem. Our shop is frustrated with it and I perceive that they may be ready to give up. It was never pulling to the right before the brakes were replaced. The brakes were just old and ready to be replaced. Have any of you ever heard of or encountered a similar problem? They had to break the whole thing down to get part numbers for replacement is what we were told but evidently still cant get a match.
