Default Remote tire pressure/temp gauge

Bought one of these little buggers for $69 after seeing a write-up on the HAMB. Unit fits in the ashtray fine. Write up here.

Would not be bad for monitoring trailer tire pressure either. Charges either solar or USB-C.

Thanks!

That is inexpensive if it works, have been considering for our camper.

Do you trust the sensors not to cause leaks? If they do, you think you will be able to buy replacements?

I do not know if they leak any more than the Schrader valves.

I have had a set of TST sensors for my travel trailer for over six years. Changed the batteries a few years ago but beyond that, they're fairly accurate (within a pound).
You can monitor a hot bearing or dragging brakes by the increase in tire temperature and you can set an alarm for low or high tire pressures

Finally, an electronic gizmo that i might like. Where to buy? Model number? Found it. On Amazon.

Being a elec geek for profession, i usually avoid fettering my cars with elec stuff.
