I leave the exhaust brake switch on most of the time, Unless I am driving on hilly roads. Then I may turn it off to take advantage of the added speed that can be gained going downhill. I use cruise control most of the time. When going downhill I will sometimes put a little pressure on throttle pedal to keep exhaust brake from activating. As you drive your motorhome you will find what works best for you.

Sounds good for us :)

I live in Oregon and, unless I'm in town, I use the exhaust brake. On the interstate, I'm in cruise control. Personally, I find the exhaust brake a positive experience, save the noise it creates. I typically drive slower than traffic. Guess they're in a bigger hurry than I am.

Thanks for all the great advice, it really did help. Well after running the summer with it here in Ohio I made the first suspension upgrade. I installed the rear track bar. After reading many comments on what to instal first, I decided on that. I saw some improvement in tracking down the road and wind push from passing trucks. But now my camping season is over for awhile here in NE Ohio. So into storage she goes. I'm thinking rear sway bar in the spring to control a little bit of the roll. Then having the front end looked over by a local GM dealer. Primarly confirming all the tie rod ends are good and solid along with the steering box. Still able to turn the steering wheel a quarter of a turn before I feel the MH move. Not sure if that is within tolerances or not.

Is there a reason that you turn off exhaust brake in town?
