Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Camping world has the Hopkins tire pressure monitoring system on sale and I was wondering if anyone would recommend that brand..If not, what would you recommend
PressurePro (valve cap senders, no temperature) and Smartire (internal mounted senders pressure and temp) are the industry stalwarts. Both are excellent and both have long reputations.
PressurePro is simpler - just screw on valve stem caps. I run Smartire as it also measures temperature and in so doing I might be able to detect a dragging brake on my toad before any damage occurs. Smartire is also fully programmable, I can set my alert levels (high and low by psi, not by percent) and it also pressure compensates for temperature thus ensuring I can set very tight limits w/o a temperature-pressure induced false alarm. Pressurepro uses rather wide pressure tolerances to eliminate these false alarms.
A few other brands include (I have no additional knowledge so you might do a google search and check other forums)
SAF-TTE TattleTire Pressure and Temperature Monitoring Systems F uses valve stem caps, half the price of smarttire and does temp too as well as identify the tire location. www.truckerspartstore.com (seems out of biz jan 2009)
another new model may be (dec2008) Truck Systems Technologies http://www.tsttruck.com/Product_List.html
Hopkins Systems valve stem caps http://www.nvisionsafety.com/TPMS Campingworld/Amazon (jan 2009)
Revolution Supply's P409-S tire pressure monitoring system reads tire pressures and temperatures http://revolutionsupply.com http://revolutionsupply.com/(S(etybwvapsabrlh452lsdzev0))/tpmsmonitorsystems.aspx
I suggest you to go check Kleen Wheels brand if you are looking for a good quality tire pressure check valve cap set. I have tried it before and you'll see a good performance from it.
