If you have a Majestic, is it a used Cruise America rental? We rented one in April and the tow/haul mode was modified to be "on" when started. You had to manually turn it off.
Interesting.... I always make a point of talking to folks in rental Class C's. Spoken with dozens and not one had ever even heard of Tow haul. Now if everyone, or most everyone, who rents is running without any knowledge and obviously the use of TH then those rentals are seriously cooking their transmissions. Just another reason I would never consider buying a used rental {but I digress}.
Perhaps some of the rental outfits have figured out it is easier/better to just have the TH come on automatically rather than expect a renter to figure it out/remember to turn it on. Given that the rental units aren't kept for more than couple of years the damage that is done by not using TH probably doesn't show up until they are sold and down the road.
On the topic of why you might not want to buy a rental.... every time a C lass C blows by me doing 75 - 80 and it happens all the time, it is a rental. Most folks renting don't have a clue how to drive them, think they are in an SUV on steroids and drive accordingly. They also have no clue as to how the systems {AC, generator, refrig, water heater, furnace etc., etc..} should work.
If you want to buy a Class C cheap then a used rental is certainly an option but you have no clue what you are getting. Chances are it has been seriously abused. If it has worked for you, hooray but IMHO, it is a high risk, limited reward venture at best.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV
