A cursory read through this thread doesn't note that you've bled the brakes with a power bleeder. I have had zilch success with the two man procedure, and not a lot more with a vacuum bleeder. Local friend has a power bleeder made by Jim Hupy which is, to me, a PIA to get on correctly, but when it's properly working, it bleeds the brakes correctly. Solid pedal, and the coach will stop. My coach has drum rears with floating plates using the kit provided by Applied - I believe Tom Pryor actually figured it out.
My SOB - long gone - on a Chev P30 chassis used a hydroboost system. the parts sre cheap and easy to come by... but I don't see any way to set up a reservoir for engine failure situations. It >will< stop, if you anchor your tail in the seat and clomp down hard with both feet, much like the stock system.
