Brake Issue
Coach stops OK, but takes heavy foot pressure. Not sure if this is an air problem or if I need brakes. Anyone know what a brake job costs on a class A diesel?

Your unit with a Spartan chassis has automatic slack adjusters.
They need to be calibrated periodically which is done from the driver's seat.
This involves fully stroking your brake pedal for 30 seconds or so, repeat 5 times.
Roll down your window, if you hear a clicking sound then your slacks are adjusting to restore your full braking power.
Often overlooked, simple to do and does not cost you a dime!

I would try this first.
