You gotten good advise. We use Tow/Haul mode staying off the brakes as much as possible letting the engine do as much of the work as it will. When the speed begins to creep up, I just depress the brake pedal and help the engine hold back a bit. Then let off and let the engine continue to help. Heading up a slope is easier, find a speed that your coach will do run at without over revving (about 35-40 mph on a 7% slope) and then just let the coach run.
The best other advise is to make sure you have a brake system in you toad. Our first time driving on those steep mountain roads, we had an AutoBrake by Blue Ox. I refer to now as AutoJunk. Wasn't worth a flip. Had my brakes a little warm use the AutoJunk. Bought a Classic Brake Buddy - problem solved. I simply increase the sensitivity in the mountains. Toad brakes for itself as necessary.
Enjoy the drive - it should be beautiful
