I think the idea of including retarder as standard is spot on but I don't think many RV buyers have any idea what it is or what it can do for them as drivers.

Iif you want buyers to think of a retarder as a big plus you have to start educating them.

Absolutely. Fortunately for me, I educated myself mostly through this forum's Yahoo predesessor group before deciding a transmission retarded is a must have.

By the way, I was talking with one of the Spartan chassis people yesterday, and told him of what I read here about their good handling. I asked, and he said they would be happy to build a chassis with the transmission retarder, active air, and even shorter length. All a manufacturer needs do is ask.
