Dennis covered most of it. You and I have very similar MH's. I have been up and down I75/77 many times. The exhaust brake is actuated by a foot button, it drives the transmission to seek 2nd gear. Your MH may have a rocker switch on the drivers left panel. If you hold the exhaust brake on it will slow you down till you get to 1000 rpm then the exhaust brake goes to open. Some of the hills will require going down in the same gear you went up in. The MH with out a towed will climb most of these hills at road speeds, although you might have a 300HP ISC or maybe a 330. Your goal is not to use your service brake during descent, save them for a stop. If you do use them, use them firmly then get off. Don't ride them, that wil overheat them. Take your time. You have a MH well suited for what you want to do.
Enjoy your break from winter, lots to do in my new home state. Seafood, fishing and lovely weather. Where I live we get 50-60 sometime in the winter. Key West is lovely that time of year! Enjoy!
