Jerrod,
They can be driven without Brake vacuum but it's difficult , My Legs are
in good shape from years of running.
My first trip in my Coach was a trip to Bean Station.
I just thought the Brakes required a lot of force.
I thought, when I get home ,I've got to make the Breaking better ,
When I got Home ,I found the booster Hose, had a major leak.
I should have fixed it at Bean Station or before.

My system is the original design with good pads that are in adjustment.
I am guessing that I put around 300 Lbs on the pedal for decent response
when I did my test. If you're not capable of that then you would likely
have a different experience.

My point exactly.
Some of these other posts would suggest your odds are better to bail out the side door.
The brake modifications are fine if the driver isn't capable of generating the force. For those that are, its good they know they have that as a plan B.
