new to motorhomes. Wally Vancouver Island BC.

Hello. I am new to this, please bear with me. I am keen on about a 33 foot barth. In Canada we need an air endorsement attached to our license class five. This consists of two sessions and writing tests plus $210. Shame maybe that's why we'll see many barths in Canada. I am very keen, I'm sure I'll overcome this hurdle. Hope this notepovajnuk@telus.net goes through. Wally Campbell River BC Canada.

Wally,

Good luck with your quest. Every state in the US has its own set of rules too. It can be a pain, but it is all worthwhile.

RE: air brakes, check these out:

From our Secretary of State (Department of Motor Vehicles in some states) I obtained 5/16" thick handbook, Michigan Commercial Driver License Manual. It has a ten page section devoted to air brakes.
Hopefully, where you are the endorsement will be like my motorcycle endorsement -- pass the skills and knowledge tests once and thereafter renew the end. annually for a nominal fee.
