They function pretty much the same. The only difference is with a motor home, you will pretty much always want it on, as you are always driving a big heavy brick.
I haven't been following developments WRT newer Class As, but I wasn't aware any offered a "Tow/Haul" option. None of ours ever did, including our current diesel pusher.
As I posted earlier, my '15 F-150 has it, and the owner's manual discusses the relevant functions of the Tow/Haul operation in detail.
If it's a gas chassis chances are it will have a tow/haul button. Our last gas MH, a 2000 Dutch Star gasser had tow/haul.
In a MH application it does seem "transmission brake" might be a better name for it but it's still called tow/haul.
As far as always using it, I can't say I ever used ours much back in the day. Heck I don't use it often in my trucks either, and my Super Duty does a lot of towing and hauling.
