Default 1983 E350 (Automate RV) pulls to right

Hi , I just bought a 1983 Automate RV (27'), thats built on a 83 E350 chassis. On the way home, the brakes would occassionally go away(and while backingup) so I changed the mastercylinder and now have good brakes, but it pulls to the passanger side when brakes are applied. What should I try next??? Trying to make this safe for significant other (GF ) to drive to the coast(Bodega Bay area). I did check the tire pressure (50lbs front & rear) and it improved somewhat but still pulls to the right. thanks for your input , Tom & Suzanne

A suggestion, check the info label on the driver's door, or door post, and it should list the correct tire pressure for the front & rear.
The pulling could be caused by ;
The L/F brake not working at all
The R/F brake may have grease/oil on the brake surfaces
The rear brake system and components could be in need of attention, and this is one of those things where an inspection is the only way to know if everything is OK there.
