I take it that this is the one?
I should also say this is for a living quarters horse trailer and that I don't go further than 2- 2 1/2 hours away at any time and I only travel on regular hwy's or back roads to get where I want to go. And to be honest, my most traveled place is under an hour from me. I have four tires on the trailer.
I'm not sure it's needed as much as those of you who are traveling across America?
I know that blow outs can happen anywhere.
The unit suggested was about $100 more than I thought it would be so have to take a deep breath and think is my kind of traveling worth it?
We travel mostly close-to-home so far, too. On one trip, tires checked fine before departing the campground for home; a pit-stop walk-around two miles from the storage yard revealed a flat. That sealed it for buying a monitor. First trip with the monitor, tires checked fine on leaving home, walk-around on leaving campsite all appeared fine, but the monitor alerted at the dump-station - low-tire. Swapped for spare while waiting in dump line; tire shop later found embedded screw. Tire monitor likely saved a road-side failure.
I'm sold, as I can't feel a low tire on the trailer when going down the road...
