Need to Lower EGT's

With my upgrades, I am running pretty hot. When empty, I can control temps. easily. But when towing my new 33' TT it is too easy to get temps. too high.

What would you suggest I do to lower temps. while towing?

Some say 'propane', others say, 'turbo'.

B.T.W. How hot is too hot? I can bury the gauge at 1600 deg no problem, but I was told that I could tow all day long at 1200.
