When I was test driving my motor home, the owner kept saying "slow down, you need to stop up here." I thought, "Dude I've been driving longer than you. I think I know what I'm doing." I was wrong. Driving a MH is not like driving a car. You have to start slowing down much sooner and you will get the brake pedal to the floor before you stop the thing! You are driving a much heavier vehicle than you likely have ever driven before. With practice you'll get the feel of it. Best wishes to you. LG
If you are getting your pedal to the floor you have a problem with your brakes also. It takes no more pressure to stop the MH than my Saturn Vue that I pull behind. Have you flushed your brake fluid, if you have hydraulic brakes.
