Driving with the Allison Automatic Transmission

We are renting a 2008 42' Tiffin Allegro Bus with the Allison Automatic Transmission Is there anything special you need to know about using it? I've driven a tractor trailer but that was a 10 speed ...

Find out the operation of the exhaust brake and the default tranny gear.

Aside from that the Allison is pretty smart. There is a mode button that enables different shift parameters allowing you to lug the engine for increased economy.

You might also have the owner explain how to check the fluid level using the keypad.

Have fun and enjoy.
