Climbing steep grades...

2003 ? Have you checked with a radiator shop ?

I had the same symptoms as you are having while towing even on 'not so steep' hills.

The shop pulled my radiator out and I believe they boiled it, pressure tested it and replaced it. They said it had a degree of crud inside that restricted flow.

I’m pretty sure that’s what my mechanic is going to tell me. When I bought it five years ago I took it to the Chevy dealer locally, and they charged me as much as they reasonably could for... I’m not 100% sure what. I plan on taking it to my own mechanic (who says he doesn’t work on RVs but I bet I c an talk him into it) and I know he will do everything he can to make it right. He actually owns a rig similar to mine and I’m betting he will treat it as his own. He will also be familiar with ways to beef up EVERYTHING, as is his way.

But this I won’t do until I drive it and can give him more accurate and relevant information. I’m feeling a short camping trip in my future. :D
