sounds like air, perhaps one(or more) of the calipers is installed wrong....the bleeder screws need to be at the top of the caliper or you will never get all the air out. Just crawl under and take a look

try using a strong magnet (like speaker magnet) to find the screws, cut off the screws with a small recip saw

Here is my brother-in-laws driveway where we stayed for a few days with our 33 ft Class A. we Scraped the drop hitch badly on the way in, used every board he had as well what we had so that I didn't scrape backing down( I couldn't remove the drop hitch, the pin locks seized up )

One other helpful thing is to buy The Next exit, either in book form or App....it lists RV friendly gas stations at each exit off interstates.....not always 100% accurate but a big help

Classic Accessories, I'm on my 5th winter with it, very happy with it

do you have a pressure reducer ? They are a must have for an RV

Try a new Motorcraft oil filter, perhaps the bypass valve is stuck on the filter

The problem with the early V10 is that most people don't torque the plugs down enough and they eventually spit out a plug or 2 or more.  These guys fix a lot of stripped plugs on engines and they  recommend 28 ft lbs of torque (if the threads are good)  and claim they have  never seen a problem...
