btw / as an update on our coach - as much as i'd LIKE to have an additional (2nd) stage to our single stage exhaust brake....We really didnt need on our recent trip to Sedona (7% grades on i17).

Our single stage exhaust brake didnt completely hold the coach back (like it does on 5 & 6 % grades) we were able to manage the speed (let it gain 10 mph & then give it a good brake stab to bring it back down & let off so the brakes didnt get hot).
