Tire pressure monitoring systems
how accurate are they? worth the 300 price tag? Yes I do realize one answer reflects the other.

Last Summer I made the decision to install a TPMS system after 70,000 miles of MH driving with no demonstrated need for such a system.
The system was easy to install, all 10 senders worked immediately after installation, the dash gauge battery lasts about a month on one charge, and the gauge has alerted me to a problem twice while in a parked mode. No repeater is installed on my 38' rig plus toad.
I do like the monitoring of tires while driving down the road as I am now in the 7th year of my rear tire life.
Alas, I have had no fewer tire problems because I now have the monitoring system. That is likely because I had no prior problems in the first 11 years of motorhoming and manually checking my tires prior to departure.
