Suggest a TPMS.
Our first travel trailer is arriving tomorrow, dual axles 4200 lb 24'. Would like to add a TPMS. Thanks for any thoughts.

IMO first line of defense is quality tires. If you want added peace of mind that comes from monitoring your pressures and Temps then maybe a TPMS is for you.
Well of course quality tires. Are you one of those lucky ones that haven’t sat on the side of a busy road .
Can't answer fo Ron, but I've never sat on the side of anywhere. My only stops were for gas and bathroom. And I haven't had a TPMS until this summer.
The reason for me to get a TPMS is that you will never feel a low or flat tire on the toad. And last fall when our friend showed up late at night I was helping him get setup. As we walked around to the drivers side we found a tire blown out. He only thing left was he bead. Fortunately it didn't damage the aluminum wheel. He tows a 26ft nonslide TT with a 13 F250 that's been deleted and tuned. So he never felt the flat on the trailer. That is what pushed me to get the TPMS
BTW. I told him the previous year to replace the 7 year old tires!
