Do you have an IR gun? It is a handy thing for looking at all of that
stuff. They are getting pretty cheap but I would get one from the
middle of the pack, not the cheapest one you find.

Won't need one with the TPMS.

I was thinking more about the bearings you seemed to be worried about.
You can reach around and shoot the base of the spindle. They use those
guns on Pike's Peak to check brake rotor heats and if you are too hot,
they give you a time out.

Gosh, I just keep an eye on the temp gauge and TPMS once in a while when
we travel, and when we gas up, I check the engine oil and take a look at
the tires. Glad I am not towing a motel room.

Actually, it's a bit more than a motel room - two queen beds, refrigerator, stove, ... all the
comforts!

We are renting this place. I bet your RV doesn't have a hot tub and an
air hockey table ;-)

This will be our 4th trip to that same general Tenn/Ga/NC area. I
could assemble enough pictures of us next to Appalachian Trail signs
to make one think we actually hiked it ;-)
We just find a nice day hike up to the AT and go back to our cabin for
a nice hot shower a cold beer and a good dinner. I am not Bill Bryson.
It still usually involves a couple thousand feet of climb spread out
over 4-5 miles.
The worst one was this one in Tennessee. Someone told us the short cut
was Lead Cove Trail. We did not consider that it was in fact about 6
miles shorter than Bote Mountain Trail but the elevation rise was the
same! It was almost 2 miles of 16" steps after the 3 miles of a pretty
good grade from the car. This thing is just dried up a rocky
waterfall.

Nope, sure doesn't. If you get a chance to go by the Maggie Valley Golf Course. My brother used to
be the general manager. Of course, that was about 25 years ago. Don't know if it's still there now.
