I agree on the parking brake leveling issue. For some time I would hear popping from that corner as the coach sat. I was not in the practice of leveling with brake off but I will be from now on. Also I think that part of the problem could be the length of the bracket. Just guessing but it is about 14 inches from the mounting point to the brake cannister. That is a lot of weight to be cantilevered out like that. Every bump in the road would stress the joint. The failure line looked to be more from up and down movement of the bracket rather than rotational. It would take an insane force to fail the mounting point rotationally. Also when I was looking for a new replacement I noticed that many similar brackets had gussets in the vertical orientation. It sort of confirmed my conclusions.
