Hello everyone,
I am new to Beavers and recently purchased a 1996 Patriot Yorktown. I have it at a diesel shop for some of the expected deferred maintenance my RV inspector found as a pre purchase inspection.
However, they also found that there was leaking brake fluid at the front driver wheel. Mechanic says a diaphragm is toast. He called it a "master cylinder" at the wheel - confusing to me as a car guy but what do I know. He was having trouble finding the replacement part so I called a well known place and they say it is a "brake converter" and the price is $1,500 for the part. Yeowsie! Is that reasonable for what it is? I tried online research but I cannot find anything called a "brake converter"...
Also, price from the same place for suspension air bags is $295 each. I was expecting around $75 each from my research.
Your candid advice will be greatly appreciated by me, and thank you in advance for your help!
