Glad to help any way I can. I'm headed through Colorado up to Yellowstone next week, so I'm sure I'll get a chance to practice what I preach.


By the way, also keep in mind that the heavier the motorhome, the less effective engine braking will be, so it may require descending slower in a lower gear. It's no surprise the same V10 slows my van much more than when I travel same roads in a heavier Class C. And because brakes have to work harder too, I drive much slower with heavier rig -- safety is always at top of my list.
