Phil,
Just a note on what we do, this after losing several transmissions. I 
purchased a pump kit that can be found at most RV outlets. It is 
designed to be used with rear drive automatics when towing behind a 
motohome. The setup includes a pump, a switching valve and hooks into 
the cooler lines. I use a three position ignition switch, up is on , 
middle position is off and down is  trans pump. The kit also includes a 
indicator light to tell you if the pump is on. After installing this 
setup, I have had very little transmission trouble
