P/up My 44' Featherlite Today & Tow's Sweet

Question is I have a 2005 Dually with a stock Autobox and with a trailer weight of about 15K how should I use the overdrive.
Being in flat land of Houston TX my way is to keep in tow mode (overdrive off) when driving under 45~50 then when entering the on ramp to the freeway (Still somewhat flat) I will disengage (towing switch off) the overdrive.
It is a good load and I can tell the CTD is being used like it should be.
I am just a bit concerned since my bombed 1995 went thru 3 autobox TQ.

Brings a 2nd point...
Being such a large trailer, anyone out there running with rear view cameras?
