Towing in overdrive or pushing the O/D button in

I am fairly new to RVing. I will be going on a 1400 mile trip pretty soon and will be towing my Chevy Cruze on a dolly. Just wondering from all the experience out there, should I leave the O/D button...

I'm guessing that is the O/D button... It says TOW on the instrument panel when pushed in...


In my Chevy truck, the TOW button changes the shift points of transmission, but does not directly turn the OD on and off. I need to do that by moving the column shifter from D to 3.
