I was under the camper doing the rear arb when I spotted a leak on the brake pipe , at first i thought it was the brake pressure regulator
on closer inspection a brake pipe clip had snapped in half, just past the regulator feeding the rear brakes.. The brake pipe over time had vibrated
against the broken clip and worn a pin hole in the pipe... Lucky I have a brake flaring tool & some brake pipe plus fittings . I was able to cut out the damage
pipe & make a new section, all bled & back working.
Maybe I was unlucky.. but It shows the importance of these clips & they job they do
