I am new at pulling a horse trailer and have a 39' motor coach that I would like to use with the trailer. Is there any safety concerns for the horses, pulling the trailer with a motor coach verses a truck.

I don't see a problem pulling a horse trailer behind a motor coach. I did it many times without any problems. You need to just make sure that the hitch and the GVRW on your motor coach will handle your trailer load. I would also suggest you use a horse trailer with tandem axles (most trailers come this way, not all) and if your motor coach comes with a backup camera, I would have it rewired so you could keep an eye on your trailer while your driving at any given time.
