Traveling to Canada with air brakes

Good morning,
I've a diesel pusher (itasca Soleig 34t) with air brakes. In Texas I don't need a special drivers license to drive because I'm less than 26000 gvwr. Canada requires its citizens to take courses and pass a test to drive this equipment there. Will I have any problems crossing the border and driving my coach there?

Regards and thanks Bob.

    You will be fine. From a previous discussion with a nice commercial enforcement officer in Ontario (probably the strictest commercial enforcement in North America). "I can't touch an RV" said the officer.

    No problem... You're not a Canadian citizen. Canada and the US have full driver's license reciprocity, just as the US states do with each other. Even CDL's are recognized on both sides of the border.
