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!!

Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems
Permalink  

I am considering adding a tire pressure monitoring system.  I am looking at the one in the camping world catalog however I know there is one discussed here called pressure pro (however it costs about $200 to $250 more).  My question is does anyone know about the quality of the system from camping world or is pressure pro a better system that is worth the extra money.

Thanks for you help.


Mike

Pressure Pro Is a good proven system. I have it on my rig and it has alerted me to trouble before. It works good for me I don't know about camping worlds'.

You can often find a similar product for less money.  But, Pressure Pro is proven and reliable.  With lives and many thousand of dollars at stake this is one area where I would definitely go with "proven."

Our Pressure Pro system has twice averted a real disaster.

Have been using Pressure Pro system for 5 years and have had no issues. If you remove the sensor and store while parked it saves the battery. I have 10 sensors and will be getting 4 more for the Chevy HHR which we tow behind the 5th wheel. I recomend Mike and Pat Mcfall they are full timers and sell the systems as a side. Good Luck with your choice. GBY...

I also recomend Mike and Pat Mcfall. They will help you with any installation or technical questions. They are good reliable people.

I have the TST tire pressure monitoring system sold by Camping World. It has worked as advertised and recently alerted me to a tire with a slow leak. I was on the interstate and noticed that one of my fifth wheel tires was not geting above 84 p.s.i. and eventually fell to 83 p.s.i. when the other tires had reached 90. Cold tire pressure was 80. The alarm didn't sound because it was within the parameters that I had set, however, by glancing at it as I was driving I was able to discover the aforementioned problem.

I would recommend it. You probably won't need the larger antennae as mine works fine with the antennae mounted on the display unit. I wrote of my experience in my blog.

Yup, we have the one from Camping World too. It works well IF you take the time to set it up right. Don't hit the OK button too soon during set-up. Be patient. Otherwise you have to unscrew the sensor, let it rest, then screw it back in and re-do the setup process.

We had one sensor bulge out from a bad battery, but they replaced it free of charge, sent 2 day UPS to our home.

It has alerted us to one low tire, and its interesting to see the pressures increase on the side where the sun shines compared to where they other side is in the shade.

We have Pressure Pro and it helped prevent a sure fire blow out our first major trip with our Cameo. A slow leak on an inner dual valve stem would have resulted in at least one and possible both duals blowing on a hot I-8 day on the way to Wellton AZ.  We bought ours and our back up camera systems from Tim Lazaroe at RV Cams.com and as said by others it pays for itself in one disaster averted!
