Have taken my coach through the mountains here quite a few times. Going uphill I tend to take the coach off cruise control. This allows me better control over when the coach will downshift. When I get to the crest of a hill and start going down I will again resume cruise control and make sure tow/haul is engaged. Having cruise control engaged going downhill allows the coach to downshift to maintain the speed thereby minimizing time the foot needs to be on the brake. Using tow/haul allows downshifting one gear with the tap of the brake again allowing for engine braking going downhill.

Never had an overheating issue with the engine or trans.
