Brake pads and automatics

[Mart 63]

Taking my motorhome to storage today, I have quite a few roundabouts and speed humps. Normally in my car or old motorhome, I used the gears to slow down. In my new automatic motorhome I'm constantly using the brakes. How long do brake pads last with automatics, as its the first time with an automatic.

If it is a ComfortMatic then I think it is the gearbox but as it only operates at very low speeds I have never had to use that feature on mine. I could be wrong.

Conversely, I think the brakes together with traction control are applied to stop wheelspin on a slippery surface. That is something I did experience going up a very muddy country lane.

I don't think it's the Comfortmatic, it's the 9 speed automatic.
