Tire Pressure Monitors

I recently saw some tire pressure monitor caps on a friends motor home, and he said they were great for speeding up the frequent checks he performs. His were from TireWise, but I found and ordered a set of Tire Pressure Monitor caps from the following link from what appears to be exactly the same type he had. I actually ordered a set for the RV, TV and Trail-Aire Pin Hitch. Very reasonably priced.

Hope this helps others.

Interesting to see, but what pressure are you going to buy, as the trailer will take one pressure, probably 110spi. but what about the truck? I'm sure you have a pressure for loaded with trailer, and unloaded. Just weighed a motorhome with Pressure pro system. As I check each trie pressure before weighing, I had to remove his caps. After I checked he turned on his control unit and read off the pressures it showed. All were within 1 psi to my gage. I was impressed.

I bought 4 at 110 psi, 6 at 70 psi and 1 at 45 psi.

This way I can tell at a glance if there are any low pressures.

Ok, sounds good, but what is the 45 psi for??? Not the spare on the trailer, but maybe the spare on the truck?

The 45 psi is for the trail-aire pin hitch. If my pressure goes below that, I have a devil of a time un-htching.

To Stripit

Stripit, you coming to the Rally? I would be interested in getting my rig weighed. Maybe others would too.......there are 52 registered attendees, and Bonnie says they now have 20 more sites reserved.
