Just got a motorhome with the 1 ton Ram Chassis. We will be close to GVWR
(11000) with the chassis, and towing an additional 5000 lbs of boat. We will
be putting a lot of miles traveling the country. We have 15k miles on it
right now...

Question: will the stock trans cooler be sufficient, and if not, which would
be the better choice - a second cooler (probably not in any significant
airflow) or a fan on the stock cooler (pushing from the front).

Other (constructive!) thoughts appreciated...

Put in a transmission temperature gauge, and let that make your
determination for you after a couple of trips. Always a good idea to have
on any kind of tow rig, regardless of the amount of coolers.
