Tom, welcome to the forum. Your info is very valuable to all of us. I have a 97 HR Imperial with a 3000 series Allison. I tried to check the fluid level using my touch pad but I guess I don't have that option. Is there a way to upgrade my touch pad for fluid level? Also, does it hurt to continue running Dexron lll or would it be better in the longrun to change over to synthetic? I recently purchased the motorhome and it looks like service's have all been done with Dexron. Thanks again for the help!

Change to TranSynd (or another TES-295 approved fluid) and run it for 300,000 miles without any more oil changes. You'll have to ask a technician to verify whether or not you have an OLS (Oil Level Sensor) in your sump. If not, then you won't have that functionality on the shift selector pad.
