Allen Gingrich of RV Safe T instructs Andy on how to perform an Air Brake Safety Check. While this was performed on a 1957 Flxible Starliner, per Gingrich, this is a standard procedure and applies to all motorhomes, RV's, motor coaches or busses with air brakes.

Thanks and like. I will say this and it's only my opinion. I am a truck driver also. If you have low pressure in your brake system to where the button pops out or the light comes on you shouldn't be able to roll or move the vehicle. A good way to check the parking also is to put the bus in gear to test that it's adjusted correctly and shouldn't move. I give mine a light tap on the accelerator pedal to make sure that it's holding correctly. I always tell people go to your DMV pick up a commercial truck driver trainers manual it's got all the stuff in there to learn about air brakes. Thanks for upload and share.

You should let him talk instead of cutting him off every time he tries to say something. But good info

Good info! However, I only watched this to see if you could tell me something I didn't already know. I am a qualified school bus driver with 16 years experience... we get tested on this at least once a year to keep our licensing!

Why don't you show this procedure on a coach built in this decade, that many people may own, not a 1950's vintage Unicorn that no one may ever encounter in their life? It might be more relevant and valuable.

+Gadget Guru Do you Need a CDL to drive a Rv with Airbrakes ? Also do you know of any websites that are great for finding RV''s for sale that are equipped with air brakes ? -Charlie F

For the licensing, while I think this is strange, it's all based on which State you have your current driver's license. Some States require a special license and others don't. In most States you can simply walk into an RV store, buy an RV and drive it away. Yeah, strange. For shopping, try RVTrader.com.

I wanna know why wasn’t there a buzzer? If that light would be out and you lost air, you would never know until it was to late. I thought ALL air brake vehicles must have both a buzzer and light?
