This makes me feel a little better... I always think high RPM's is gonna hurt the engine/transmission. In perspective, possibly hurting the engine is better than overheating breaks and not having them when needed.
So.. everyone is in concensus that the vehicle downshifting and staying at 4k RPM is OK for engine and transmission (assuming 6k is redline)
How about using the additional trailer brake push button on my trailer brake controller? I imagine thats just wearing the camper breaks down a bit faster, but no other harm?
