If I'm reading that correctly, what you are saying is it wasn't a MM fault/problem at all, but the brakes were jammed on by a fault with the ATC unit, rendering the van immovable. Presumably the 'only going backwards' was only for the short distance that is the normal 'slack' in the braking system before brakes lock when rolling backwards.
If that's the case, saw that a few years back with a fellow camper, where during their stay at some point (probably when the car was re-hitched, to go home), the ATC malfunctioned and jammed the brakes on and wouldn't release them (the ATC indicator light WAS showing a fault condition). Another camper had to crawl under the van, and follow the instructions for mechanical disconnecting of the ATC unit to release the brakes, before the couple could return home. The wife reckoned that despite being their first use of the van, her husband would now sell it, as had no tolerance for any kind of 'failure/hiccup'. Seemed an extreme reaction to me, but everyone to their own I guess! With the help of knowledgeable fellow campers, the problem was identified, temporary 'repairs' effected, and the basic problem relatively easily fixable at their convenience. I'd never seen or heard of the problem before, or indeed since, until now, clearly not quite such an isolated fault as I first thought!
Thanks for getting back to us, it's always good to know what the outcome was.
