Lot of RV will sustain heavy damage when "gator" will come out from the tire and slap around.
I had "famous" Firestone dropping a gator on my flatbed and even it was steel bed, the gator took mud flap and bend 3" exhaust pipe.
Other time I had low pressure warning in my wagon, when I was stuck in cruising traffic on Las Vegas Strip. Nowhere to pull out, 110F with heavy wind blowing dust around. Not really place for wheel changing.
But thanks to TPMS I was able to check the tire was loosing the pressure very slow and even low, with slow speed I was able to make 1 mile to the resort (what took over 15 minutes) and change the wheel in comfort of underground garage.
So TPMS are like cellphones. How did we survive without them in the past?
