Question Using ATF - Sometimes

I am actually asking this to help my dad. He has the same truck I do (96 PSD 7.3). He is telling me that his truck has been using about a quart of transmission fluid whenever he pulls his fifth wheel anywhere. But just driving around town he said it doesn't use any. We looked and cat find any leaks. No spots under where it is parked daily.

Any ideas?

Is the transmission wet? There's really only 2 places it can go. The ground or possibly into the radiator. Though I can't say I've ever heard of that
