Brake pad replacement...After how many miles for a typical air brake 30+ foot Barth and what's the going price people are paying these days in the specific part of the country the work was done?

Any do it yourselfer's? What part numbers did you use for your specific chassis? Cost?

Thank you in advance.

Correction I should have typed "Brake shoe replacement" for drum brakes

Are we talking about Tamara's 92 Barth Regency?

Air brakes typically use all drums. Air over hydraulic or hydraulic over hydraulic can be all disc, all drum, or a combination.

Not Tamara's 1992 Regency. I beleive that may be sold in a few days to someone other than I.

I was under the impression that all Barth's had drum brakes?

Specifically, I would like to know for a 1996 Barth on a Spartan Mountain Master chassis

(Person does not know model since they are second owner. It does have Breakaway writen on the wood by the breaker panel under the bed and has the basement doors of a Monarch but the front and back of a BreakawayXL.)

Thanks again everyone.

- Corey

My Breakaway has 4-wheel discs.

Such a late model almost certainly has discs. If they did not wait till rotors were scored, pads will be one of the less expensive issues to address
