I've got a 10 speed 3 pedal autoshift. I like it. Never miss a gear. I just have to use the clutch to get it rolling, and when I come to a stop. Works great. The service manager at my local Kenworth shop said these boxes are extremely reliable. If I was building a camper I would never consider doing so on a fully manual trans truck. You would have a very difficult time selling it down the road. Or your heirs would. It's also just so much more convenient and comfortable to drive an auto shift too. I could see rowing gears if you were a truck driver since you can skip gears and start in whatever gear you want. I just don't think it's that needed on a Truck Conversion. There are plenty of trucks available with some sort of auto shift. I wouldn't want an hydraulic transmission like an Alison. I don't know a lot about them. But, they have a torque converter. These generate heat, which sounds like a loss of power to me. And, they are much more complicated than an autoshift. Which means more expense when it fails.
