Always use ours on open highways. Set it at 62 MPH and let 'er run.
mountain1, a lot depends on your tow vehicle/trailer combo. If your rig is on the heavy side and it causes your transmission to kick in and out of torque convertoer lock up, you may not want to use the cruise. If your trans stays locked in except for an uphill grade, you should be OK using cruise. It's the constant in & out of lockup and shifting that will cause premature wear and heat build up. If your truck has a trans temperature gage, keep an eye on it.I searched and did not see anything. My friends with motorhomes use cruise all the time. i have avoided doing so. Any thoughts or comments?
I saw something I've never seen someone do when breaking camp the other day. Full walk around with a light and brake check...must be a professional driver. I myself always do a walk around. Those pesky 12 volt lamps always seam to bounce loose. And you never know when the wife will put up the antenna. I also do the S maneuver starting out, so I can check free roll.
I agree but my spell checker wants "gage". I think I can add gauge to it's list of words though.I say guage is right Ray! lets see how it comes out. LOL As far as cruise control I use it a lot on the interstate on the 2 lanes I like the pedel. I think if you use the pedel you could increase your mileage but you have to let it loose some speed on the hills.
