Changing transmission fluid

My 2010 silverado is creeping up on 30k miles. I pretty much only use it for towing or hauling something. Tranny temps while towing are typically around 200-220 and some minor runs at 235 on large grades.

I've always been the person that never changes tranny fluid on my vehicles. Probably won't on any of my cars going forward. However, this truck is the "work horse" and I'm pondering if I should, since its being used harder. I say harder because the max tow rating of this truck is 4700lbs and my camper is ~3500lbs.


Thoughts?
