Anyone use a TPMS for their trailer?

I bought a TireMinder TPMS (for anyone unfamiliar with what this is, it's a Tire Pressure Monitoring System) and it looks like really good quality. It was easy to install and it has the solar powered display that can also be powered by a micro-USB cable. Displays tire pressures and temps, batteries supposedly last 6 to 8 months and are easy to replace. The sensors screwed right onto the valvestems. I mounted the 'repeater' in the front storage compartment. I installed it at the dealer when I picked up our trailer after being repaired. Seemed to work very well. Anyone else use this? Or a different brand?

I have the tireminder system that supports multiple trailers. Works great and has caught one nail puncture and likely avoided a blowout.

I have TireMinder on my travel trailer. I have had the system for over 2 years with no problems. Their customer service is excellent and they send you new batteries for the tire monitors for free every year.

Many posters come here to ask questions, but don't seem to ever spend much time reading first.

You also must be new, otherwise you would have noticed how many posts I've made since joining in 2001, though I did bother to look and see that you're not new either.

Did I break a rule or something? Am I not allowed to post something without wasting time looking for similar posts? Also I added my info on the system that I bought and provided info on how it works so not only would I get feedback from others who have this or similar, I might also help someone else (maybe someone truly new to the forum) who may not have even realized this is available for trailers. Thanks for your valuable contribution to my post.

I use the Tire Minders, very happy with them and also enjoy the peace of mind while towing

TST 507 here for the past 9 years full time. I did just purchase a new monitor. The original mono one still works fine, but the new color monitor just sucked me right in. The only problem is they reversed which item is on each side of the screen. With the new color monitor the pressure is on the right vs the original mono screen with the pressure on the left. I have to reprogram my brain I guess.

I asked him to do one thing and he didn't do any of them.

X2, TST here too. Tireminder is another good one. Won't leave home without it.
