Myself I like to use the exhaust brake my coach is really loaded down while driving down any grade, exiting off ramps, and heavy traffic. Never use in the rain or slippery situations. Some folks don't like the sudden down shifting from their tranny, and depending on what speed you are going or how your slowing down it can jerk a little harder and drop gears quicker than you like. You kind of have to play with it a little and see how you feel.
