I agree those techniques will hold the temp down. Not to be an alarmist, but the thermostats should be fully open at 206, and the hydraulic fan on high speed. It's a two speed fan and on high blows a lot of air. In my opinion the ddec and Allison controller should work in conjunction to keep the temp in normal range. Assuming the fan came on high, I am wondering if you have a dirty radiator, outside or inside, or if one of the thermostats is not opening.
On flat ground, do you normally run 196 to 204? If so, I would say the thermostats are probably fine.
Simple green the radiator next. If that doesn't help, I would go for a radiator flush.
Just my two cents, and worth less than that.
My coach weighs less, so the guys with slides may say that the added weight makes that much difference and they have to do manuevers to keep from hitting the high temp alarm
