Your coach was almost certainly built with an Allison transmission. If it is a four speed, the HT740 although there is a small chance it had the Allison 5 speed MT653. The MT653 was not as strong a transmission and I don't think it was used in very many, if any, Newells with the Detroit 8V92 although it was used with the lower horsepower Detroit 6V92's and Cummins 903's.
It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong in your driving technique that would have caused the transmission to fail. From what you have written, you handled the situation exactly as you should have. 2000 rpm's will not hurt a transmission that is not on the verge of failure anyway.
Don't try to second guess yourself. Things wear out and when they do, try not to blame yourself. Enjoy your vacation with your family. Kids sense when their parents are worried. Be happy and the family will be happy.
