Upshot to my driving 50kms with Jayco Heritage manual handbrake 'ON'...
(Preview)
Although I don't recommend it as best practice driving with manual handbrake 'on' for 50 kms..it appears little damage has resulted...I always have hand brake applied when stopped, however I never take it to the 'extreme' on notch which I could with force..that may have helped lessen any damage.....
