Any suggestions for what gear to use on the RAM 3500 or gain to use on the trailer brakes? There are other large 5th wheels and Motorhomes up here so there is no prohibitions on this stretch of road but I don't want to be the first to crash out. Thanks for any info.

Did that drive a few years ago. WHITE KNUCKLE! I hogged both lanes as much as possible. Fortunately for us, we had the entire road to ourselves the whole way down, no other traffic. Tow/Haul absolute necessity. In 2nd gear the whole way. I don't have an exhaust brake.
