RVers Now Have an Easy Way to Monitor Tire Temperature

Avid RVers keep a close eye on their tires because healthy tires will keep you safely rolling down the road to all those great RV destinations. Sick tires can leave you stranded on the side of the road. So what can you do to make sure your tires are healthy? Well, lots of things, but one easy thing you can do is to take their temperature. Just like a sick person has an elevated temperature, a sick tire will also have an elevated temperature. But how can you take a tires temperature since there is no place to stick a thermometer? Meet Mastercool 52224, the handy device that solves this problem. Designed with a pistol grip and trigger, you just point and shoot (it has a red laser pointer for accuracy) and the large LED readout gives you the instant temperature.
Dennis Brown, Owner/Operator of "A Tire Man", mobile tire sales and service of San Diego states, "When the center reading of a tire is hotter than the shoulder reading, the tire is over-inflated.  When the shoulder is hotter than the center, this indicates under-inflation.  When checking steering tires, ideally the tread face should read the same shoulder-to-shoulder when properly inflated.  In some cases, alignment can come into play, and that's another situation.  When reading properly inflated steering tire temperatures, a reading that is warmer on the outside or inside shoulder may possibly indicate an alignment problem."Mastercool is also great for checking for leaks around your refrigerator gaskets. You can also use it for checking your air conditioner and heater. Some folks even use it for checking surface cooking temperatures. This is a useful tool to have around home and RV and sells for $60.00 plus $5.00 S/H. You can read more about it here.
