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

That's correct. The Tow/Haul button is an on/off switch. Hit it once, it's on, hit it again, it's off.
Ford, GM, Ram, and even Toyota have "tow/haul". The features are not necessarily identical. They all change the transmission's shift points to better match both pulling heavy loads, and provide better engine braking. Some may also lock out the overdrive and/or lock the torque converter.
If you're running in tow/haul mode when you AREN'T heavy loaded, you won't hurt anything, but you probably won't get as good a gas mileage as you would without it on.
Original Poster has a Winnebago. Just off hand, I don't know whose chassis that's built on. Ford? GM?
