Problem Chevy 8.1 in a 38 ' Kountry Star 2003

[Henderman]

The motor runs flawless for around 200 miles and then it stats to miss fire and loose power until you park and let it cool off. Start it again and run another 200 or so miles same thing.
I have replaced Coils, wires, plug, sensors. Anyone have a clue I am out of options ?
