This is a 454 P30 Chevy Motor home. The temperature needle has no numbers on it. It works fine. What would the 50%, middle, temperature indicate? When should alarm go off?

I would say roughly, about 10-15 degrees higher than your stock thermostat temp is.
Since most gauges are set to read "straght up" if everything is ok.
