We have started to look at diesel puller MH for RV use only. I have a medical question since I have a numbness problem with my feet, do you have any problems when starting these rigs?

We test drove ( 10 miles) a 32 footer and I was a little heavy on the brakes. It is something that I would hope to adapt to air brakes.

Thanks for any replies

Ken

Ken, all of our Columbia motorhomes have been very easy to stop, easy brake application. What chassis did you test drive? The hardest, or most brake pedal required, that I have driven was a Sterling.

My 95 FLD had a very very heavy pedal, took a few trips to get use to it, but like anything you get use to it and it was no problem.

I test drove a COLUMBIA CHASSIS 450MBE engine. and Haulmark conversion. 32 footer. This is the firts that we both approved.
I need lots of info about these rigs before I start learning with ownership

Thanks
