Mine doesn't give anything with temperature other than to notice that the pressure would be rising within a tire, caused by a hot bearing or brake.<br /><br />Also, I read it from his post that he almost had the fire out when his one extinguisher expired. I plan on having about 5 when we hit the road. 2 in the coach, one in the basement or front compartment, and 2 in the truck with one on each side of the truck.<br /><br />His last post was that they were going to Springdale, Arkansas, which is where Wheels RV (DRV dealer) is located. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.<br /><br />Stay safe, my Friend.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864060537138071569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500882699190161523.post-46273339203703920002011-06-21T18:09:50.282-05:002011-06-21T18:09:50.282-05:00As I read Ed's post about the fire, he comment...As I read Ed's post about the fire, he commented the TPMS alarmed as he exited the truck and saw fire. The tire had already exploded. Makes one wonder on the response time of the TPMS. He did not get a high temp alarm. First he saw smoke from the driver's side front tire, he pulled over and stopped as quickly as possible, the tire blew while stopping. Sounds like he had one extinguisher. My next purchase before travel will be a larger extinguisher. Not sure he could have saved it with more fire suppression. Man what a mess.Ken Hnoreply@blogger.com
