Well Gents,
I certainly agree with the purchase and use of a good tire pressure monitoring system, provided you can find a "Good" one. But, those do NOTHING for the re-inflation of a tire, or tires, in the event of air loss due to a zillion reasons, temp change, capillary action, poor or dirty seal in any of the valve stems/TPS sensors, bead infiltration due to rubbing up against a curb or deep rut, a small almost unseen nail or tack, and many, many more.
The TPM system will do all that you mentioned and, I'd like to have one sooner or later. As soon as there's one on the market that has no negative reviews for multiple users, I'll take a good look at it. But, 'till then, at least a small air compressor or even the coaches air system will be used to keep'm up.
