The service brakes on my skoolie are hydraulic, as they are in cars. But the parking brake is pneumatic. A compressor turned by the engine pressurizes a holding tank. (Air from that tank also supports the driver's seat and opens the front doors.) The parking brakes can be released only if there is sufficient air pressure in that tank. For about a week I have been unable to drive the bus anywhere because air is leaking out of the tank faster than the compressor can pump it in.
In this five minute episode I locate where the air is leaking and replace the broken part - the purge valve under the air dryer. Pretty niche, I know. But apparently air leaking from this part is pretty common. If you drive a vehicle with a pneumatic component, the fix may interest you.
