Has anyone made Cooling system upgrades?

I went on a camping trip this week, and for the first time my water temp went to @ 230 for a short period. I am pulling a 40 foot 5th wheel with quad slides. Are there any upgrades I should be looking into!!!

I really haven't heard anyone with a LBZ have cooling issues. Have you looked to see if you radiator is dirty. Sometimes leaves and other trash will get caught inbetween the radiator and intercooler.

Ya when my fans kicked on, the temp went down. There are upgrades for everything else, just wondering if this would be worth spending the $$$ on.
