Just to keep things lively . What do you know about the Wedge Brake System and the DD3 used on Prevost.
It sort of reminds me of the people practicing herbal medicine because they know more than Medical Doctors. If it's cheap it has to be better.
I know it must work when I de-press the pedal, that is why I had a professional mechanic that does this type of maintenance, maintain it.

The problem is: I have never operated an air brake, and I have no idea at all about how it works. I don't wish to buy, then learn, and that would make us lean toward a gas coach.

Why would I care how to adjust them. That's why I have my coach serviced by professionals.

Not that it makes any difference but I have drums all around. I know how they both work. You push the pedal and the bus stops. I even understand the difference in the design of the 2 systems but knowing that doesn't help me stop either. It's still all about the pressure on the brake pedal that makes me stop.
I know much more about my coach than I need to explain here as the OP was scared to drive a coach with air brakes and my response was accurate and welcoming. Get in the coach and go drive. That's all he needs to know about driving that kind of coach for the first time. With time, he will learn more just like the rest of us.

I could tell you how but you don't seem to know the difference between drum and disc. brakes. I can turn things you say the same way you turn mine.
I answered the OP with some fairly sound advice in my first post and you and a couple others seem threatened by that. I really don't see how your posts are helpful.
There are some very helpful people on this forum and the there are others.

I have near 80 years, I learned to drive truck on a 1954 Brockway And every morning we had a virtual ritual of doing things that are now automated.
If Canada requires you to know all this, that's all well and good, we don't.
That is very obvious!
