What are the implications of towing a caravan with an automatic gearbox?

I have a Honda Accord Tourer with an automatic gearbox. I am considering buying a caravan, but have heard that towing can cause problems. Is this true?

Basically it gives the torque converter more work to do, so the transmission needs additional cooling of the fluid. Will already have a transmission fluid heat exchanger. Needs a second one or a bigger one.
