They do get loud when running up near 4k rpms. I have not had my fan engage yet, but I don't hit big mountains while towing. My MH is only 16k lbs.

Now I am curious what they're using for sound deadening at Newmar

Well if your rig was not insulated for sound then the good news is any attempts to address it will likely improve things. Its the last 20% of improvement that is the hardest.

Haha...right. The last 20% is always the hardest AND the most expensive!

With Scan Gauge you can actually see the climbing of the temp degree by degree and then you have plenty of time to decide whether you want to pull over for a bit or whatever.

Not sure what you mean about poor interface. It's really not that complicated. I programed mine to monitor 4 main things I want to see all the time. Once that's set, I just start the coach and that's my default digital gauges. If I wanted to, I could program additional gauges and just hit the forward button to see those. But I don't do that.

I mean for the money, it's not much at all, but gives you all the data you could possibly want, but yes you have to take a few minutes to learn to use it. But it's not hard. It certainly would solve the problem you originally asked about.

I've had my eye on one of these (see link). I have some old Android tablets and phones hanging around that I could try as a display for it. The Android app Torque Pro seems to be the most popular and powerful and can be bought for $4.95. I'm just not sure how I would mount the display on a Class A motorhome chassis. https://www.amazon.com/Veepeak-Bluet...s%2C173&sr=8-2
