Digital Laser Infrared Thermometer
If you pull a travel trailer, you really should check your wheel bearing temperatures at each stop to be sure they are not overheating. (See the explanation under Things to Keep in Mind Throughout the Day on the Towing a Small Travel Trailer page in my Beginner's Guide.) It's a rare, but huge potential problem that can leave you stranded. The most common way to check them is to put your hand on each hub to see if it's excessively hot. This works, but usually gets your hand dirty. Should you ever find you have a bearing overheating, you'll also likely burn your hand finding out!
This digital laser thermometer is a much better solution. You simply aim the laser gun at your wheel hub and pull the trigger. You'll see the red laser beam wherever you aim it, and get an immediate digital reading of temperature. Best of all, no dirty hands.
As a bonus, it's also just a cool gadget. For anyone like me, they'll find all kinds of things to point it at!

We prefer the single burner butane stoves like those used at omelet stations due to their low profile/better stability. I believe they now have a model that will use propane or butane.
I’ve not looked into those Steve, but it sounds like they are worth a look. You definitely need to use the base that goes under the propane tank on the one we haveto assure stability.
