Are you guys using actual temps measured by a thermometer or laser ? I would not trust the factory gauges.

Where would one use the laser/lazer for a true/accurate engine temp? \nI have a couple of no contact temp units I use\non trailer tires, rv tires and exhaust pipes on the motorcycles...\nHavent tried on the Travco yet.

\nI have a VDO manual temperature gauge installed on my dash. Before I installed it I checked it against a thermometer in a pot of water on my stove.

My temp is based on a set of autometers I put in.
