Update.
Found a diesel shop on the way back to my AO that will do an oil change for me. If I decide not to do it myself. I'm fully capable I just don't like changing the oil in cold weather.
Will checking the temps on the tires truly give me a since of how they are holding up? I have a laser temp gauge. And that would really give me a good peace of mind if I'm able to monitor the state of the tires.
It's not "oh, I checked the temps and there won't be any problems" kind of fix. But, if you are just trying to get the RV home so you can have the time to really go through everything, etc., then it can help you get through that one trip. If one or more tires show excessive heat, then you need to stop driving and get them replaced immediately. If they are all within a good temp range, then you can check for new cracking, separation, etc., and make a judgment call about finishing the drive home before getting new tires.
Yep... That is exactly how I interpreted that idea. Just a tool to get me home or help me realize I need new tires before going any further.
