To amplify what Ian has said about startup on a hill when roll back is possible test to see if you have the braking assist or not. Our coach 1202 has a ZF 12 speed and when I first started out I made a few folks behind us nervous as the coach rolled back. I found it necessary to get off the brake and apply a little throttle as quickly as possible. That advice was also given to my wife by Glen Edwards who taught her to drive our coach while we were in Miami, OK for service. The advice has served us well.
It took a little getting used to the feel of the ZF after driving the Allison on our previous coach because you can feel the ZF shift the first few gears off the starting line from then on is feels seamless.
Enjoy it and have fun.
