I read occasionally about the problem of dragging the brakes while taxiing because the throw from brake off to on is only about 1/4". I realized this on my first RV mainly because I have size 12's and my toes were always midway up the pedals even when my heels were on the floor. Very easy to inadvertently be slightly depressing the brakes without meaning to. Here is the solution. Also, I might add, similarly adapted by Cessna by building it into the pedal design. Anyway, here is what you do: Either get hold of some 1/2 round dowel or create you own( I used an old closet hanging pole) and cut it slightly shorter than the width of the brake pedal. Then simply adhere the 1/2 dowel to the lowest edge of the of the brake with double stick tape. Now when you are resting your feet on the floor you will be pushing the brake pedal backward until you raise your toes above the dowel. Easy fix and has worked really well on my past 3 Rv's. The photo shows the dowels that will be installed next week on our new 14.
