TPMS Tire pressure monitoring System
I just installed A TPMS System and noticed that If I leave the monitor turned on and leave my trailer, the monitor continues to report the last temperature and pressure it received when I was hooked...

My understanding of the tireMinder TPMS is that it waits a considerable amount of time to report signal loss as well, but I don't have one and can't personally verify that. I have noticed that your rarely see the TireMinder system sold without a repeater.
As for worrying to much about this potential failure, I don't loose much sleep over it. I did install a repeater to minimize the chance of loosing a tire while at the same time having a dropout from loss of signal. I personally think the odds of that happening are small, but given the way the system works you really don't know how common system communication problems might arise. When first starting out on a trip the temp and pressure increases you tend to see appear to be regular, and constant between the tires so my guess is the system overall works pretty good.
