From what I know and that's very little by the way   but don't tell KFC or Woody that please, Only if wet and on gravel/dirt roads. IMO. 

Thanks guys. Pretty much what I thought. Wet and/or muddy conditions use traction control. Not planning to do too much racing with the van so it will get limited use. Many thanks to all.

Leave traction control ON. Last year at night i had to brake and swerve on corner to miss a bloody big wombat. two wheels on gravel two on road. Worked as designed.A few days ago 2 people died when hitting wombat.

 

You never know whats around the corner, what will jump out or when some drunk,drugged,texting or sleeping driver will have you in (or out) of their sights.

 That's exactly what I got out of the article that I posted.  Leave it ON unless serious 4WD ing or racetrack work.  Unlikely activities in a Motorhome.

From the article .....

" a computer can react in a split second to ensure peak grip and stability, better and faster than even a Schumacher-level human.

Thats exactly what your traction and stability-control systems are doing every time you get behind the wheel - being better at handling tricky situations than you are - so its never a good idea to turn the traction control off on the road.

Even the most skilled drivers would be foolish, these days, to take away the safety net that technology has worked so hard to provide us with."
