TPM for trailer tires recommendation

[Lardog888]

Will be using my 18' enclosed trailer to move stuff from Southern California to my son's new home in the SLC UT area for several trips in the next couple of months. I would like to install some sort of tire pressure monitor system on the trailer since this will be much longer distances than I'm normally used to travelling.

Amazon has a wide price range, so I'm looking to others that have them and have any recommendations. Possibly something that would integrate nicely into my 4th gen.

Thank you in advance.

What's wrong with just using one of these old fashioned tire pressure gauges? It only takes a minute or two to walk around to all the tires, check the pressure and visually inspect the tires.
I can't tell you how many times I've spotted a trailer tire getting ready to give up the ghost just by looking at them before hitting the road for the day.

I do always check before a trip, but if I get a puncture during the journey, I would appreciate some advanced notice that one tire is going low. Also, some measure temperature, which could give me a heads up that a bearing might be failing, or brakes are dragging.

These trips coming up will have stints as long as the fuel load will take me before stopping, so several hours at a time which is more than enough for a slow leak to progress to complete failure. I carry a spare, and a plug kit as well, so if caught early, can be repaired without sidewall damage.

So far, I think this one is what I'll go with:

Does anyone have experience with this model?

I have been looking also. Think im gonna go with the eez tire monitoring system. Its around 280. Problem you have with the cheaper systems is they work but have a short range on them. When your looking make sure you check on the range they have. My 5'er is 37ft so i need something with a little more range.

I went with this one and it is working fine so far. I bought it with 6 sensors. 4 for the trailer tires, one for the trailer spare, one for the truck spare. Trailer is 30 feet long

I have had this one for 10 months and it works great. The included repeater makes the signal rock solid on my 30 foot horse trailer. I also like that I can see the pressure in each tire at a glance. No button pushing to read all tire pressures. All of these that mount the sensor on the valve stem have issues with the temperature reading. It is pretty far below the actual internal temperature of the tire. I just watch the pressure. Due to ***-Lussac's Law tire pressure is a good analog for temprature.

That one says 0 - 70 PSI in the description but then the answered questions say it goes higher. The one I linked above goes to 135 PSI. I have 110 PSI tires on my trailer and have alarms at 130 PSI and it works.

I bought , and use the TST brand TPMS system. Was recommended on the trailer forum I was on, and so far after 4 years it works perfectly. There is a repeater that might be needed to enhance the signal, which I ended up needing. Tied that into the spare 7 pin connector on the rear bumper of the truck for the 12 volt power, and it works fine. I have a 42 foot fifth wheel rig.
