Excellent info. I am fresh back from my trip to Florida and put 1800 + miles on the new RV. I totally agree on the down shift, I don't do it when coming up to a stop either. I really do need to check my rpm, speed and gears and make a note, like you say. I have a few of them down, but 7,8,9 are still a bit sketchy.
Shifting is no problem and I do not mind at all, kinda fun actually. Someday down the line if I do another conversion and put it on a new chassis I would definetly look at a autoshift, meritor or world trannies. It would be nice to know that the wife could drive it if the time ever came.
