Welcome lovinmybus.  First let me apologize for nobody replying to your thread eusa_naughty

Second, the first thing to check is to see if you have brake fluid in your reservoir. The reservoir is located behind the driver's seat and is the plastic cube. If there is not any fluid then top if off and have a buddy pump the brakes while you look under the vehicle for leaks. A common place for problems would be the seal on the master cylinder, it will be located under the driver's side floorboard and will be connected to the brake pedal. Check these things out and get back to us.  Thumbs up! 3
