How Hot is Too Hot for Trailer Hubs

Question:

I’ve got a gatermade gooseneck trailer with 10k oil bath hubs and I have one hub that’s getting up to around 130 degrees and the others are around 110 to 115 degrees would you all happen to know if that’s normal?

That sounds within the normal range. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Hubs are known to get hot. Especially ones as high capacity as you have. A lot of time hubs are between 150 and 160 and we tell people not to really worry unless it over 200.
