I've worked since age 16 at our local state fair for 12 or 13 days each year. This is my 7th or 8th year working at the camper parking lot. (Not a campground and the parking spots are only 10 feet wide.)
Anyhow, they built a new holding pond earlier in the summer. A row of various RVs including at least one motorhome are parked along the edge of the holding pond. One of the motorhomes ended up completely in the holding pond this evening! The owner didn't have time to chock the wheels and his 3 year old was playing with the gear shift. Luckily, the pond was quite shallow and the RV suffered no damage. The fair has a tow truck on-site all the time and I don't think it even cost the owner anything. It took a good hour to get the motorhome out.
Folks, be darned sure to chock your tires at the campsite! Someone could release the parking brakes by accident.
Oh, there is one MCI parked there. It was dark and I didn't see anything but the rear end of the bus.
A good reason to mannually bleed air preasure off...no air brakes won't release

Excellent point! ;D BK ;D
Is there an easy way to bleed all the air out of the system?

Sure pump the brakes til theres no air left! I'd start by opening the drains (that can easily be reached/accessed) on the tanks then pump the brakes til there is no air left!

My MCI does this all by itself in just a few short hours. ;)
