Operation temp of a converter can be in the hundreds of degrees. If it is glowing red under the vehicle there is a problem, if just normal color (rusty etc.) then it's o/k. If the heat shielding is intact/not intact (on older vehicles it corrodes & falls off) you may want to keep to the roadways in a park or while camping and keep out of the long grassy fields. Unless of course you don't like your car and want higher insurance rates....
