Elite 3.0 N Reg Auto. I was towing my new Caravan on the motorway today and the temp was continually creeping up to 100. It went down if I slowed to 50, but did not really like anything above that. Do I need to install extra cooling things (as if I had a clue how!)?
TIA as always.

At 50+mph, should be enough airflow for fans to make no difference.  Check the efficiency of cooling system.

As TheBoy says. My temp crept up till the high temp warning light came on during a long long motorway hill climb with my 'van. A flush helped but was sorted completely with a new rad - the old rad developed a large leak.
