Does your home jurisdiction require air brake endorsement?
Are there jurisdictions about the continent that allow people to drive air brake equipped vehicles without any type of training or license endorsement?

In a perfect world, it would be beneficial for all new RV owners to go thru an 8 hour training session to point out safety features of the coach, how to do a pre-trip inspection, and to understand the differences when operating a 40 foot RV, vs a Ford Excursion.
I remember my first time behind the wheel of a Greyhound when I started working for them. My first comment was that this thing is HUGE! Just learning how to drive it without curb-checking every time you made a right hand turn was a totally interesting experience.
30 years later, I can't even notice the differences. Brain and muscle memory automatically change to "Bus" mode when I get behind the wheel.
As long as newbies be extra cautious for the first three months or so, they will most likely have a good knowledge of what they can and can't do...(After losing a air conditioner shroud or two in the process) :P
