Mark, regarding Arch's above remarks:
When delivering our 23' coach to Jim Bounds for paint and interior work a couple of
weeks ago, Jim let me drive his Dumpster with the brake booster. I'll say this for
the system: it brakes with very little/no effort!! Took me by surprise on the first
stop!
Jim says he will want to gather some more performance data on it, and perhaps do some
adjustments before recommending this system, but he'd probably be glad to talk about
it to you.
