2002 Georgie Boy LANDAU problems and owner complaints

A WHEEL CALIPER WILL STICK UNPREDICTABLY, WHILE DRIVING, AND CAUSE BRAKING COMPONENTS TO GET HOT AND LEADING TO BRAKE FAILURE. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 36,000 MILES AND THE BRAKES HAVE HAD REPAIRS 4 TIMES. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CALIPERS ON SOME OF THE WORKHORSE CHASSIS, WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WE WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME HELP IN TRYING TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE AND GET THE BRAKES FIXED TO WORK AS THEY SHOULD. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP?

I HAVE A 2004 GEORGIE BOY MOTORHOME ON A WORKHORSE W20 CHASSIS AND WHEN MY FAMILY AND I WERE RETURNING FROM A TRIP, WE COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. WHEN I PULLED THE MOTORHOME OVER TO INVESTIGATE WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM, I NOTICED A FLUID ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. IT WAS HOT AND SMELLED LIKE BRAKE FLUID.
