Towing in overdrive or pushing the O/D button in

I am fairly new to RVing. I will be going on a 1400 mile trip pretty soon and will be towing my Chevy Cruze on a dolly. Just wondering from all the experience out there, should I leave the O/D button...

Agree, best MPG is at lower engine RPM'S. But, if the transmission is "hunting" between gears, select the lower gear.

BUT, that advice goes for ANY transmission, any vehicle.

If anyone needs clarification on what hunting is, let us know-- as it can really hurt a transmission.
