Standard transmission maintenance?

We have a 96 AWD Explorer with a 5.0L. Since we tow a trailer every few weeks, I figured it's more important to change the transmission fluids. Looking in the manual, I'm confused as to what we need to change and how regularly.

Does this sounds about right, or should I be using a different schedule?

Every 30,000:
Change transfer case fluid
Change Automatic transmission fluid

Every 60,000:
Change front and rear axle differential fluid

That sounds right, but I would increase that to every 15K since you tow frequently.
