johnd01 wrote on Wed, 18 October 2017 13:30What have you used yours for? IR (Thermometer)
Checking bearings, brake temperatures, engine temperatures, hot water heater temperatures, confirm accuracy of thermometer on any heating device.
It's just a generally all around useful thing. Most important for me is for checking bearings. Just shoot the temp of each bearing. It they are approximately the same you are good. If one is significantly higher you have a problem.
Checking brakes. If one is significantly higher or lower you have some type of problem that needs to be investigated.
Is you engine really as hot/cold as your gage indicates. Is your thermostat working properly. Just shoot the engine outlet fitting to the radiator.

Did I miss it? Checking tire hub and brake temperatures temperatures when stopped at a rest area. Sunny side of the coach will always read a little higher.

See it is indeed a must have accessory with functions unrelated to its original intent.
