Loss of Transmission fluid

I have a 1997 Fleetwood Bounder with a Ford 460 engine. After driving over 300 miles when we arrived to our destination I parked the motor home at our campsite, I turned off the engine and a lot of transmission fluid poured out of the bottom of the transmission bell housing onto the ground. Can anyone help me diagnose the problem before I get it to a transmission shop. I am in Orlando Florida am going to try and find a shop Monday morning 07/22/2019

Need A LOT more information!

Before you have the transmission R+R'ed, did you try to use it after the fluid burp? Does it go into all forward/reverse gears? Is the ATF cooler blocked? Is the fluid underfull/overfull, burned? I agree with others. Sometimes automatics get hot and belch fluid. It doesn't necessarily mean the transmission is shot. (it's generally NOT a good sign either) If the transmission works, did it dump fluid again after it heated up? Any unusual noises?

The fluid change interval is 30,000 miles. At 57,000 miles, even though it's a '97, don't let a transmission shop sell you a rebuilt transmission without SHOWING you EXACTLY what's wrong. Tell the shop that you want ALL the old parts. (even if you just throw them away yourself) Depending on what's broken, if anything, a fully rebuilt transmission may cost as much as half the value of the RV. Something to think about.
