    My 2002 Revolution 40C has air brakes, my question, are air brakes on Class A RV's owner adjustable?

    Up to now I have let the service tech deal with them. I have a Freightliner frame.

    Do all class A RV's have the same type of air brakes?

    Thanks

    Larry, You should take an air brake course to learn how to adjust and or check the adjustment of your own brakes. 

    Every person driving air brakes needs to know how to adjust them and monitor the gauges and valves. It isn't difficult but you should know the system.

    Your unit may have automatic adjusters and then maintenance is a much simpler thing, Mostly you will just have to check the adjustment and not actually change it yourself. Automatic adjusters do need to be checked because although rare, they can fail to adjust correctly.
