2005 Itasca SuncruiserEngine & cooling

Driving on route 281 from brownsville tx. To san antonio tx. In my 2005 itasca suncruiser. At about 65 mph my vehicle started to drift on the road. Trying to correct it I found I had no steering...I put on my brakes and found I had no brakes. I was scared and did not know what to do. The dash instruments showed alternator problems. Engine problems..Etc...I felt death was near...I took my foot of the gas to let it slow down and stop...Praying nothing would get in front of me as I had no control...Water and steam...

blew out over the window and things seemed to be getting worse. I stopped after an eternity. I had the rv towed off the road and was told that my engine belt broke....I am amazed that the rv had no back up system for steering or braking or anything...I am happy that I killed no one or caused a tragic accident. A new belt was put on the engine and I was told it probably wouldn't happen again..I ask about the safety of my 2005 itasca suncruiser ( 30000 lbs gw ) and was amazed no one thought anything of it....No one killed or maimed so who cares...Maybe when someone is injured someone will do something.
