Go do the same routine and timing with just your car or truck and stick your finger on the rotor. If you burn your finger, your trailer brakes are fine. If you don't then they may need backed off a tad, especially since you need to be economical with your brake linings.

Did anther run today...
About the same ambient temps...78F
5-10 miles with normal braking.
ALL 4 drums (and measured at each shoe area - 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock) were between 92F-93F except for one shoe area on one wheel. The secondary shoe (3 o'clock position) on right rear wheel measured 99F-100F
NOTE: They were all warm to the touch, but no where near as hot as yesterday.
Thoughts?

I think you are good to go. the heat was from excessive braking and I would not worry about a 7 degree difference. I think the slight rubbing you was hearing was the magnets and not the brake shoes.

Just a thought... A post like this really needs an emoji, such as ![[emoticon]](http://www.rv.net/sharedcontent/cfb/images/wink.gif "wink") ![[emoticon]](http://www.rv.net/sharedcontent/cfb/images/rolleyes.gif "rolleyes") ![[emoticon]](http://www.rv.net/sharedcontent/cfb/images/eek.gif "eek") etc. just to let people know it is a joke....
It is a joke right?

I would put the temperature gun away you are over thinking this. Seriously though, there are many things that can cause a slight difference in temperature between drums. 5 degrees is nothing. 50 degrees maybe start to worry a bit.
