Thx Kevin (and others),
Yeah, I;ll bet the brakes are a weak spot - we have a '89 Ford Full
Sized Van (for sale) with a wheelchair lift (which adds a bit of weight)
It's not what you want to be in when the stop light turns red! Same about
the cross winds - it moves all over the road -- but the brakes really
require the ability to anticipate problems --
Not sure if I should be even considering a land yacht at the time --- which
would compound the weight and brake problem. The Van has disc/drums and I
hope a quality RV would have disc/disc - which might help a little -
Thx ya'lll
