OK, folks, this is one for the list (and I'm so glad there's a list like
this for problems like this).

We've been waiting two weeks now for the dealer to finish detailing our
'78 31' Airstream (I forget the model name). It's not rocket science, but
it is taking a lot longer than we would have liked...and they're not
Airstream dealers (this was a consignment).

They claim they're having a problem checking the brake system. They say
it's a two part system, requiring a vacuum line be run from the towing
vehicle in addition to the electric brake line; that to activate the disk
brakes, you've got to have both.

Someone, I'm sure, knows all about this stuff, and how to test it, and if
it's true, and if so, how much of a pain it is to run this vacuum line
from the truck.

Can you pass along some details and hints/tips/tricks/techniques? Please?
We can't get them to release it to us for the walk through until they get
this set up.
