I just purchase this to measure the heat of the tires & bearings on my rig.

At what temperature is the 'danger' zone for the 5er & for the TV?

Thanks EH!

I was taught to use the readings to simply compare to each other. In other words, if one tire or bearing is markedly hotter than another you have a problem!

Good point Sparkie. Another thing that you will find is that the tires on the sunny side of the trailer will be hotter than on the shady side. And if you have one brake working harder than another, or vice versa, the hub temperatures will be a lot different. There is a lot that the temperature gauge will help you with, then you just have to interpret your readings.
