Doesn't Crossfire have a valve that prevents one bad tire from taking the air from the good tire? Would that mean that if one tire deflated, the air pressure at the single valve would stay constant or equal to the good tire. If that is the case, then I'm guessing that the TPMS would not alert you if one tire deflated.

You have raised a valid concern with Crossfires and a TPMS. I have a friend who had a Crossfire setup with a single tire pressure sender for his TPMS. His inner dual lost pressure, the Crossfire maintained the pressure on his outer dual, TPMS did not indicate a low pressure situation and eventually the inner dual started to burn. Fortunately the fire was caught in time and the coach was able to be repaired. He now has Crossfires with two TPMS sensors.
Doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose of a Crossfire? Wouldn't two TPMS sensors give him the same level of protection without the added expense?
