Down hill grade
Relatively new to RVing. My question is while driving down a steep grade road the engine will rev high. Should I gear down? And best way to do this while driving? Thanks for any help. Stay Safe......

Thank you to everyone for their advice. It will be well used.
Sorry for not giving more detail... 2018 24 ft C Class, Four Winds. Driving various grades last summer and the unit sounded like it was revving to high but maybe that's how it should sound. Like I said, still new to driving anything bigger than a car.

I thought that our 2015 E-450 revving too high at times, then I learned that it is programed so that it cannot rev too high.
Daughter was descending a steep hill in Northern New Mexico in our 2017 E-450 V-10 MH. Tow Haul mode. Tapped brake for downshift. Engine revved and the Check Engine Light came on. All gauges were good, etc. I purchased a code reader at O'Reilly's Auto in Taos and the fault was a few Engine Misfires. Cleared the codes and it never happened again.
