exhaust brake

I have a 36 ft. motorhome with exhaust brake and have been driving many years both m/h and truck and I can't find where it is said that
using the exhaust brake in bad weather can not be used...any help on the matter would help, not looking for a argument.
Thanks

"Bad weather" can be subjective. I wouldn't use my exhaust brake on icy roads, because letting off the throttle could cause the rig to skid when the exhaust brake engaged. But slightly wet roads, at reasonable speeds, is a different matter. YMMV

Map shows where we've lived and worked, travelling through doesn't count....

What makes you think that you shouldn't use an exhaust break in "bad weather" (whatever that may mean - hot / cold / wet / dry / ???)
