We recently purchased a 36 ft 5th wheel Keystone Raptor toy hauler, we used to has a 30' TT.Our 5th wheel is quite a bit heavier, OK, my question is about towing and going downhill. I have had a couple of guys say shift down into second, but if I remember right I had a trans. guy say that is a good way to trash the trans. pump. I will eventually get some kind of exhaust brake, but for now is there any other suggestions?? I know there is a bunch of you guys that pull 12-15K trailers everyday and have a great deal of experience towing. Dont want to make any mistakes with the wife and two little girls onboard...Thanks in advance.
