Default 20KW Kubota 4 cyl Generator Overheating

I've been reviewing the posts on generator operating temps. Even after re-coring the radiator, this summer with triple digit temps, my generator would run over 200.....when moving. I stop and the temp drops 20 degrees.

There were several earlier posts about the Road Air discharging into the genset's blower area. Mine does that. Another post mentioned blocking off part of the intake grille on the side of the coach. By the way, the rubber skirt that connects the radiator's shroud to the fixed shroud under the coach is in good condition.

Both my engine & genset seem affected by strong side winds, perhaps robbing cooling air from being pulled in & through the radiators.

Any ideas?
