The F53 is equipped with the tow haul feature to handle scenarios exactly as you described without having to manually shift into a lower gear. Did you try that?
Also, is it possible that towing a Jeep and a boat didn't exceed what your RV is engineered to handle?
My tow haul works good when going down hill but when going up a large hill it wont stay in the gear I want when I change speed so this time I just put it in 3rd gear so trans would not hunt, and to those that say I was killing my motor I was not at 4500 rpm the whole time sometimes it was 4000 rpm going up this hill and there was also head on wind and my whole setup weight is 26,500 lbs not over weight as to Ford motor/trans specs.
