Glad to read that you got your brakes working. I was just wondering what the problem might have been. Was it an air leak somewhere in the system?
I was also going to recommend on your slide problem moving the drivers seat all the way forward to activate the slide movement. I saw a couple of tech's at a Freightliner shop in San Diego wrestle with a Gulfstream coach for hours and they could not make the slide work. I asked them what they were looking for and they told me they couldn't make the slide work. I told them about the seat and they looked at each other. They said they felt small after a customer had to tell them how to operate the slide. LOL!
The new Crescendos are a nice looking coach. Hope you have got as good a coach as our Scenic Cruiser. It has been a very good coach since we bought it new in 2003.
