Hello Henry,
I've tried just using the Jake Brake when I need it, but have finally decided to take the advice of a motor home dealer friend, and always keep it on. I don't expect to get a lot of 'coasting' out of the Bird, and it's nice to have it help slow under normal circumstances, i.e. interstate exits, red lights changing, etc. Some owners have posted info that their brake light stays on when the Jake is on, but mine doesn't. You should be able to tell if it's working: get on the interstate (with jake brake off) and take your foot off the gas; then repeat with the jake brake on. If it's helping stop the coach, you'll feel it. Have fun with your Bird!
Liz
