E450 Tow Haul Mode

I recently purchased a 2017 Concord 300TS RV with E450 super duty chassis. I currently do not tow a vehicle. I need to know the best way to drive in mountains. Some sites say to use the tow/haul mode when going up and down hills/mountains. I am concerned about brakes heating up.

Using tow/haul will keep brake temperatures lower.

What is the running weight, and GVW of this chassis cab. I agree, probably running close to GVW running in Tow/Haul with engine brake on all the time would be how I operate it.....
This will save your brakes a lot, it will also allow cruise control to control your speed up and down. Only take off engine braking on slippery icy roads.....
