That said, the rig sure is sweet and solid. I can understand the MDTs being utilized...it is a heavy camper since it is loaded including a generator, invertor, and four batteries but seems to tow pretty nicely with my F-350. Of course I haven't been at the top of a tall peak with miles to descend yet. If any one has some words of advice on how to approach that with a 2014 F-350 DRW, I am all ears. I suspect some folks will advise me to disconnect at the peak and drive down empty!

Seriously though, folks that have done the long steep downgrades with my set-up have to have a good story or words of wisdom to share!Attachment 1350
Welcome aboard!

Whatever gear you would come up the grade you are going to descend lock your trans in that gear and always have your TH and EB turned on. I run my cruise control while doing so.

Experiment.

Also fill in your visible signature it will help with future questions.
