Nothing abnormal appearing there, other than the oil temp might be a little high. Were you experiencing an issue?

That's about right for towing with the oil temps a lighter load. I've seen them above 280F for towing, which is why you want to use a good quality synthetic oil, most have flash points above 430F.

The coolant is cool though, they usually go up to 220F in a normal cycle, but 230F when idling in higher heat. About 245F when towing heavy, I think anything above 250F and you will get a warning.

Tranny is very cool too.

I'm towing this (23ft total, about 6000# loaded) for almost 2 years on the road, full time RVing. 35k miles and counting. I see temps very similar to what the OP showed. The highest oil temp I ever observed was 252F, transmission 197F, in the mountains.

Nope, your coolant temp is cool for that, trans is super cool, oil temp is where I expect to be in that situation, same with PSI.
