old school observation.... tire whacker
Observed this weekend...18 wheeler operator using a metal rod , strolled around his rig... whacked each tire. No TPMS, no digital tire pressure gauge. The man makes a living driving big rigs. Hm...

Me: TPMS is good to monitor pressure on the go...
You stop every 30 min??? Hour??? I easily go three to four hours between bio-breaks.
It's anything but rare to loose all your air between stops- and then the tire is trashed, and maybe comes apart and tears up the relatively thin walls of your camper or the tarp material underneath.
A TPMS will give you a warning well before the tire starts deforming, flopping and self-destructing...
Nice try, thanks for playing.

In which case, the tire thumping at the next stop will detect it.
