Jerking under load

While on a recent vacation trip I was towing my 9500 pound 5th wheel up the TN hills and while running about 70 mph the truck would give a sudden jerk the continue on. I thouht the jerk was comming from the torque converter but the rpms never changed like it does when the trans slipps and the trans temp set on 180 degrees and never moved. The truck was under a steady load climbing hills each time it happened if it was a gas burner I would have thought it had a misfire in the engine. I have an edge EZ-box on the truck with a big line fuel kit and the fuel pressure light never came on or flickered. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I puzzled.
