Colorado mountains towing 5th wheel

Okay, all you towing gurus, I have a questions about towing our 15,000 lb fifth wheel trailer in the Colorado mountains.

What is the rule for going down the mountain using tow/haul? We did this last summer and I started smelling brakes when I got to the bottom of Slumgullion pass going into Lake City. Should I shift to 1st gear with tow/haul enabled? I ask because I remember using tow/haul on the Slumgullion pass trip and the transmission was in D. Should I downshift to 3, 2, or 1? I'm confused and would like to have an answer before we start our trip next week.

Thanks,
JoeF350
