That 6R140 transmission is so overdesigned for the torque of the V10 that I wouldn't worry one bit about letting it shift up and down all it wants. If you were driving the motorhome with a stick shift, you'd likely be shifting a lot too. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that -- that's what transmissions are designed to do.

If you want to lock it into 4th manually and RPMs are too high, one option is to slow down; although I doubt you'd want to go slow enough to get RPMs back in 3,000 range.
