Hi. New to the forum. Been looking for a coach to buy and I was looking at the photos for the 1993 U300 listed in the Classifieds. In the photo of the driver's compartment there are two gas pedals. What's up with that? Or is one of them the brake? Maybe one is a footrest?
Thanks.
Not sure how to post a photo. Here's a link: Imgur: The magic of the Internet (https://imgur.com/a/c1YhHTn)

Welcome to the ForeForum.
That is ONE fuel pedal and ONE brake pedal.
Yes, designed for one foot driving, not two foot driving.
But two foot driving is better in traffic. Practice before using in rush hour. Saves a few hundreds of a second and quite a few feet.
Also, the fastest way around a race track.

Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah, I like to use left foot braking in traffic also. I would just have to adapt. :)
The one on the right is the "foot feed"
The one on the left is the "treadle valve"
At least that is what Carol S. mentioned she was taught at Foretravel's Ladies' Driving School
("Mash the foot feed on the entrance ramp! Git 'er up to speed so you can merge with traffic")
;)
(wouldn't the only Foretravel with a "gas" pedal be an OREG? :giggle: )
Michelle,
The're all a "gas" to drive!

Lol, I haven't heard it called a foot feed since I was a kid in Alabama in the 1960s. :)
"Ride" the brake pedal--the quickest way to an expensive brake job.
PO must not have done that as our pads look like they have never been used. I do see quite a few cars driving with the brake lights on. Lazy place to put your foot with the cruise control on.
