Tire Patrol TPMS
This is a relative new system that uses WIFI vise traditional radio signals. Has anyone used it and what did you think of the system? I intend to install in MH (6 tires) and dinghy (4 tires). Thank...

I'd be hard pressed to give up my American made Pressurepro that I've had since 2007. The Chinese knockoffs my friends have all give them fits one way or another but they do brag when they work for awhile haha. I know all of the fleets that use TPMS use Pressurepro as well. Many school district buses have them as well.
As for WiFi, how does that make more sense? My Wifi on the road goes out when a tower is not nearby so that is years away at best if ever.
WiFi is not dependent on cell towers unless you are using a cell phone to attach to the Internet and then to your WIFi. WiFI can be a closed system with only local attachments between units. WiFi is not the Internet. It is a network using radio waves in ether the 2.4 GHz and/or 5GHz range. This type of system would not lose connection unless you separated the sending units(tire device) from the receiving unit (monitor) beyond their range.
You could have all your devices in your RV and TV connected to a WIFi system and share between them if they are WiFi capable. The TPMS system here uses an encrypted connection so you can only connect to its own devices.
