Pls explain the tow/haul engine braking on my Winnebago
Ok I’ve read that if going down a big hill tap the brake twice on the coach will slow down on its own ??? It’s a 2013 Itasca 26he with Ford v10

When you apply your brakes going down hill, you will hear your motor RPM increase. If you need more "hold back" power, apply your brakes again and you will hear your motor RPMs increase again. From there, you can just touch the brakes just to control your motor RPMs. I try to limit my RPMs going down long steep grades at around 4,000-4,200 RPMs. Just a light touch of your brakes will slow your RPMs. If more braking is necessary to control your speed, use short "jabs" allowing your brakes to cool, in-between those jabs. Do not ride your brakes down a long steep grade, your motor and transmission are designed to hold you back, use them. JH
