Tire Monitoring Systems
I am considering getting a tire monitoring system for my Class A, but am curious about the need for one on a dinghy. I will likely be buying a new or almost new vehicle that has a factory tire monito...

I've used a TireMinder system, with 4 sensors, for a number of years with my truck and travel trailer.
I've just upgraded to a Class A, towing a Jeep. I also purchased a new TireMinder system that came with 6 sensors.
I could have used the old system, and purchase 6 new sensors to use with it. But the sensors are so expensive, that wouldn't be cost effective.
So I'll use the 4 old sensors on the Jeep, the 6 new on the MH, and use the new monitor. I can use the old monitor in the Jeep if I so choose.
Unfortunately I don't see any of their products that includes 10 sensors. Still need to buy extra ones for your TOAD. It also doesn't work with vehicle OEM sensors.
The only way I know the Jeep is still back there is with the backup camera. If it blew a tire, likely wouldn't know it for a while. I had a tire on my travel trailer do exactly that. Wasn't until someone pulled up next to my truck, and pointed at the trailer that I realized what was happening. Didn't shake the tow vehicle! I bought the TPMS shortly thereafter.
Here's the new setup I purchased: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXIBSXC/
