Eeez with the repeater here too, and happy with it so far, just got it this year. I did all my tires on the truck and 5th wheel including the spares, maybe a bit overkill, but…
One thing to consider (for me anyway) as “Second Chance” pointed out. Some models don’t start working until your tires are rolling down the road. I wasn’t sure just how much rolling you had to do before they come alive, so I shied away from those.
I wanted something that would report pressure after turning it on while I was stationary while hooking up. I just wanted to know if I have any tires issue in the safest spot I could be.
Probably a price to be paid for that little feather with respect to battery consumption on the sensors. But I am ok with that possible downside. I guess that’s just a personal choice thing.
