Didn't own that motorhome or a Ford, but did have GMC diesel duallies towing 40' 5th wheels, every time I turned the key to haul them I depressed the tow/haul button & turned on the engine brake which is the same procedure I'd recommend to you. I think you'll find that saves the transmission, the brakes & more often than not fuel mileage as well relieves some driving strain from the driver.
