Question for this thread, if you have a tire pressure monitoring system, do you just monitor your tire pressures with the system, or do you on a regular basis with a gauge check your pressures?
No need to check (Tires) with a gauge with a TPMS....:E:E:E:E:E
Sorry "RCMAN46" but I totally disagree with you. I do pay attention to our TPMS while we're actually moving should I fail to become aware of a low tire pressure situation. I look at a TPMS as nothing more than a backup system to the primary system; the primary TPMS being "me"!!! I do not trust a TPMS for accuracy. For daily tire pressure maintenance, there's no substitute for visually inspecting each tire and checking each tire pressure individually with a calibrated commercial grade made in the U.S. truck air gauge. When we're up and running down the road at 60 MPH towing with a GCW of 23000 lbs, I'm not trusting a made in China TPMS for my only tire pressure monitoring and tire integrity source. JMHO.
Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!:)
