Seems clear to me that nobody is allowed to disagree or see things a little differently to you Digger, without being abused! I have driven all sorts of vehicles during my 22 years Army career including APC's, being told I should learn to drive a commercial vehicle by a complete stranger is pissing me off, try to be a little nicer lad it's not your problem is it
No problem with people disagreeing when they know what they're on about! I presume a City and Guilds in Forensic Collision Investigation and 9 years investigation fatal and life changing accidents gives me no credence at all? I also hold artic ,rigid and bus licences and drove professionally, the make up of a commercial vehicle and its handling are totally different to passenger cars, they do not and will not handle like a car does and that is that, If a braking system is not up to scratch it is usually due to wear and laack of maintenance rather than design, the vehicle manufacturers spend a lot of time and money in getting it right, keeping a braking system maintained is of the utmost importance but trying to improve on a design is another thing altogether! I have no doubt that if maintained properly the system is fine as it was designed. So don't be pissed off, just realise that Fiat and Mercedes and other manufactures have much larger resources than you and me, they don't knowingly put vehicles on the market with defective braking systems. I'm sure you'll agree that an APC will and does not handle like a camper nor a car. Nothing strange about that. My own camper is going to get new pads and shoes this season, I will also fit new seals and any other thing it needs on inspection, the handbrake is not great so I will sort that, None of these will be sorted by me trying to redesign the system, just a good strip and clean and renew any worn parts. So relax and enjoy your camper and hope you have a good and safe year out and about
