Tire Pressure Monitors, worth it?
Anyone use tire pressure monitors? If so, did you like them? Do they work? Which brands did you like or not like if you use them? Thanks

smkettner, the one company I have found that has an internal system is Dill Air Control Products: http://dillaircontrols.com/dill/category/products/tpms/
My wife and I going to Alaska this summer and I want to add a TPMS to the RV trailer before we go. The air stems on my Lance wheels already stick out farther than I would like so do not want to install a sensor to the end of them. I can see us doing some boondocking and don't want to have the sensor catch of a piece of brush and get torn off. I like that the Dill system is internal for that reason. I see that tirerack.com carries the Dill product:

What I haven't resolved yet is what diameter of valve stem fits my Lance. I need to check with Lance then with Tirerack to make sure I get the right sensors. I just checked with Discount Tire and if they can mount the sensor without taking the tire completely off it would only cost $10/tire to install and balance. If they have to remove the tires it would be $16 each. Reasonable cost to install and then all I would have to do is set up the monitor.
Anyone on here have any experience with the Dill TPMS system?
