Sorry for not giving more detail... 2018 24 ft C Class, Four Winds. Driving various grades last summer and the unit sounded like it was revving to high but maybe that's how it should sound. Like I said, still new to driving anything bigger than a car.

I thought that our 2015 E-450 revving too high at times, then I learned that it is programed so that it cannot rev too high.

valhalla360,
What is different about diesel vs. gas? "diesels are a different game"
Gasoline engines use VACUUM (pistons pulling against closed throttle) to generate braking HP.
Diesel engines-- no throttle restriction in intake. So they will have an exhaust brake, VGT turbo that closes and acts similar to an exhaust brake or on larger engines an engine compression brake.
Either gasoline or diesel engines ALONG WITH PROPER GEAR can be used to control speed of descent.

Relatively new to RVing. My question is while driving down a steep grade road the engine will rev high. Should I gear down? And best way to do this while driving?
Thanks for any help.

On my Ford v-10, I use tow haul mode. When descending a steep grade, I tap the brake, the tranny kicks down and holds me back.
