Teeirtup26 - I believe after reading some threads on the IRV2 sites that some of the 2016s with 6 speed trannies are not engine braking when headed done steep slopes. I would also assume by extension that the same motor homes would similarly lose the engine braking in stop and go traffic.
A number of peeps over on the IRV2 - F53 Chassis forum are discussing this failure at great length.
IMO engine braking is must have - especially for the areas of the country that you and I discussed earlier.
I am retired Army and spend a far amount of time (especially in the winter months) in warmer climates. One of the things I noticed about the "traveling van/mini motorhome" is that a fair number of them are owned by retirees not capable of driving a larger motorhome. It isn't what I would chose but it opens up traveling with an RV rather looking at places on a television. And that is great for all of us.
