Tire Pressure Monitor System
One of Earl’s must have gadgets for your RV is TireStat, a NEW commercial grade Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) geared toward RVs, Trucks, Trailers, Buses, Off-Road, Construction, Utility Vehicles and Motor-Coaches. Did you know that properly inflated tires can increase your mileage by up to 15%? Proper tire inflation gives vehicle owners the ability to maximize fuel economy and improve tire wear with this easy to install system. The TireStat system is programmed to detect low pressure, high pressure, high temperature and rapid leaks using an exclusive rechargeable, handheld monitor which also functions as a portable tire gauge.
You can actually air up your tires without removing the sensors and having to reprogram. Simply carry the Handheld Monitor around with you while adjusting the air pressure to within 1 psi.

This looks like an interesting system. I believe that new SUVs must have a remote tire pressure monitoring system because low tire pressure has been the cause of many serious roll over accidents. I wonder how much of a problem low tire pressure has been in regard to RVs.
RV’s are more prone to blowouts, which can be very dangerous at highway speeds, and damaging to the RV. Tires that aren’t driven much can deteriorate more rapidly and proper inflation is even more important. The Tire-Stat monitoring system is very handy in being able to monitor the pressure and temperature from the driver’s seat. Airing up the tires without removing the sensors is another huge benefit.
