Squeaky caravan brake

[CrewOVtwo]

I noticed yesterday our van has developed a squeak whilst coming to a stop. It appears to be the last 5 to 10 seconds of braking, but could be more if road / engine sounds hide it a little.

Is there anything I can squirt on to remedy the issue or should I book it in for a service, though it was supposedly serviced 6 months ago when we purchased it?

An exceedingly common fault with Alko brakes. Do a google search when you have a few hours to kill!
There's very little that can be done to prevent/cure it. Chamfering the leading edge of the lining on the brake shoes will sometimes cure it, but only fir a short while.

I love the help that's available here. Thank you so much and I can stop worrying about it now 🙏
