The disc brakes require more hydraulic pressure to operate than the drum
brakes do. That is why the engineers limited the pressure to the drum
brakes. When you have all discs on a coach, there needs to be the same
amount of pressure to front and rear, and no delay to the front brakes like
there is with a combination disc/drum system. Not too complex, really.

That makes sense, but it gets more complex when trying to understand why the GMC Motorhome engineers did not do it that way. If I understand Dave Lenzi's article correctly, the GMCMH disk/drum coach came with a steel combination valve that provided the same amount of pressure to the front and rear brakes (after the front brake delay).
