Default Regen

Finally installed the EDGE Insight last week. Thanks to Squid for recommending it and his right angle drill suggestion. We are now on a two month adventure with the fiver. At about 115 miles into trip the Insight flashes and says we are in the regen mode (5685 on odometer). I was cruising at 63 MPH and the regen lasted for about ten miles. After completing regen my EGT was around 1375 and quickly decreased back to 1150.
In another 253 miles it went back into the regen mode for about 10 miles while towing the fiver. Same EGT results.
Yesterday without the fiver in tow it when into regen again after just 135 miles. The regen lasted for 15 minutes and the EGT were about 200 degrees less without the fiver in tow. I am a little concerned about a sooting problem. What do you think, should I be concerned?
I tow in the tow hall mode and always use the exhaust brake, except when it is regen mode. Prior to the Insight I had no idea when it was in regen.
P.S. I really enjoy this site.
Cheers, Dean
