Well the requirements for driving a MH over 26000 lbs. and with air brakes has been covered from head to toe on this site. i have a further proposal as to the safety of the unit. I have to have a "annual inspection" on my Airplane each year. has to be completed by a Mechanic with a A&P and Inspectors rating. Let's make the same thing mandatory for a MH. Easy to inforce. Just no tag until you produce the required paperwork. I mean, all these MH's are out here running around , wrecking, killing people, putting our population in "emininate danger". The inspection for my single engine plane only cost $2000 to $3000 per yr. Small price to pay in order to stop all these MH accidents. This plan would protect the public from all the "rogue" MH operators more so than a piece of paper saying they know which pedal is the brake and which one is the accelerator. :S
I hope this post make the majority of readers aware of the Gov. intervention that can happen due to the concerns of a very few. If the accident rate called for further regulation, then it may be required. A very few individuals think everyone should be trained CDL drivers or they should not be allowed to operate their MH's. Getting a CDL or a endorsement to your license is more Gov. regulations to your way of living. They think we do not have enough regulations now, so just add a few more.
A large motorhome should have to have a safety inspection every year, just like a truck.
