They serve the same purpose as firewall mounted boosters- - - -"Make the driver's leg stronger"- - - - -but they do it better than less-robust equipment. Just looking at the diameter of the boost piston, and the stroke makes it appear that lots of brake fluid at a high pressure is available when needed. Some older motorhomes used two small hydrovacs with a split brake system, back in the 1970's. I believe they were plumbed in a "dual diagonal" configuration, where one rear wheel and the opposite front shared the same hydraulic system. Jerry
