If you tow a trailer, you need this system!
Dislikes: Anti-theft would barely be a deterrent. Spin on covers can be spun off by hand and the transmitter then removed. No tooling needed. If there was a small screw / pin that could only be removed / installed while the transmitter was off the stem, that would be ideal for security, but would add to weight and likely size, and make it harder to install without bleeding off pressure. I am not concerned about the theft of them, but thought this should be known.Likes: Easy set up; linking transmitters to reader, setting pressure and temperature limits.I loved the knowledge that I was able to "see" what was happening behind me the entire 4700 miles on a trip I was just on. While at a rest area, I showed my system to a fellow RV'r who was changing a flat that was completely shredded. Luckily for him there was no trailer damage, but I was surprised there was not at the condition of the remains. I do not know if his rim was useable, but it might not have been. On my return trip home, I had 2 flats on my trailer, in two consecutive days. The first flat my EezTire display started beeping and indicated a rapid pressure loss. I pulled over and there was still air in the tire, coming out. Extremely short time that the 2nd tire on that side had to shoulder the whole load of half of the trailer weight. Was able to install the spare, move the transmitter to the spare and monitor it and the other 3 to a place where the tire was replaced. The next day I was in 98° temps, and my high temp alarm alerted me when a different tire exceeded 108°. Shortly after that the pressure alarm alerted me that pressure was dropping. Pulled over and indeed it was going flat, installed the spare, placed transmitter and proceeded to a tire shop to have new tires installed all around. Temps were still showing 108° on the two originals, so I stopped and let a few PSI out to help them stay together for the 40 miles needed, and reduced speed while monitoring. Reached a tire shop and put 4 new tires on the trailer and moved the newest one to the spare.I realize I should have better inspected the tires prior to my trip, but my EezTire system bailed me out. It allowed me to not have to replace my original wheels, repair damage to the underside of the trailer, or possibly leave me stranded on the side of the road when I could have had two flats on the one side if I had continued to tow with essentially one tire.Loss of signal happened on occasion (Yukon XL with 31' Ultralight TT, no booster, reader was sometimes sitting on my center console, sometimes window mounted). When signal is lost, the reader emits a short beep each time that tire info should be displayed. I power cycled the reader each time and allowed it to find the 4 transmitters again, with no beeps while searching. I found higher on my window (better line of sight) helped reduce signal loss.I will not tow my trailer again without a working EezTire TPMS. Money very well invested in my opinion.

Quality TPMS
Purchased this TPMS a few months ago, but wanted to get a couple trips in before submitting a review. For reference, my trailer is a Rockwood Mini-Lite that's only 21' long and my tow vehicle is a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The TPMS is packaged well with plenty of documentation and instructions. The instructions are the easiest to follow, but if you put down you beer for a few minutes, you'll figure it out. The sensors come with batteries already installed, but it would probably be a good idea to keep a couple spares somewhere in the RV just in case one dies on you during a trip.Over-all, I really like this unit. The screen is fairly easy to see either day or night and the tires sequence through quickly enough for you to get a good idea of the pressures and temps for all. The monitor seems to pick the sensors within about 2 to 3 minutes without the booster. I particularly like that the monitor has a long battery life. I've taken a couple 13 to 14 hour round trips on a single charge and the monitor still had life to spare.Of particular note:1) My first monitor had numbers fade out completely on it's first return trip. I contacted the company who responded within a few hours. They asked me to send pics, which I did. They then asked that I ship the monitor to them and they'd ship a new unit. I did that and received a new monitor within a week. Would rather have not gone through that, but the company didn't give me a hard time and they were responsive, so good on them.2) And this is important... if you're using a wireless back-up/observation camera, do not place the camera and TPMS monitors within close proximity to each other. I initially did this, not thinking about it, and the TPMS monitor would not perform properly. Sensors would drop or not sync at all and it would often take as much as 20mins for some of the sensors to be picked-up (if at all). This was very frustrating at first as I thought I had a faulty monitor. I swapped in new batteries, thinking the batteries were weak and was causing the sensors to drop. Nope. So, I moved the TPMS monitor to the passenger side A-pillar and it works flawlessly. Very happy to have figured with out!All-in-all, a good product that I wouldn't hesitate purchasing again.

Saved us from a blowout, PLUS excellent customer service
We are full-time RVers so use this product extensively, for many thousands of miles. Last year, driving through a lonely stretch of desert between St George UT and Las Vegas NM, this system alerted us to a leaking tire. We pulled over as soon as it was safe to do so and sure enough, the tire was losing air quickly. The alert surely saved us from major blowout damage if we had continued to drive on the tire. Just that one incident has more than paid for this system.Furthermore, we just had an issue where we changed the battery in a sensor and then it wouldn't read on the monitor. Called up their customer support phone number and received excellent support. They walked me through troubleshooting and re-pairing the sensor, and now everything is working again.Now, to be balance in my review, there is one main downside and that is limited range. We have a 33-ft fifth wheel, and do experience intermittent sensor dropouts. Usually about 1 or 2 incidents per drive day. Simply turning off and back on the monitor fixes this issue, but a more permanent fix would be to install the repeater kit into the front bay of our RV. With that said, given that this saved us from a blowout, and that the company does clearly say that modern electronics do interfere with signal and to install the repeater kit if you experience range issues, I still think this is a 5-star rated product. Just don't expect it to work perfectly without the repeater if you are at or above our rig length.

long delay in getting readings
I installed the sensors on my travel trailer and switched on the monitor. In my opinion, it takes far too long for the monitor to display the readings of all four sensors. I have to turn the monitor on about ten minutes before setting off to get a complete reading. At first I thought that the sensor batteries were weak, but they were not. However, the system works as designed once the communication is established.

Pressure is not perfect but it does tell me when I have a leak.
Just a quick review, the product was quick to install following the instruction provided in the box. No issues installing the sensor on to the trailer tires. Just a note that I had to get my wheel bearing re-pack so I replace the valve stems with metal stems. The pressure sensor was out by about 6 lbs on the first tire that I check. (Tire pressure measure 61 lbs but the sensor said 54). Knowing this, I used it as baseline as I was driving to give me feedback that I was having a leak more than over pressure.. The right-hand tires were 12 degrees hotter and was not sure why until I remember that the muffler was on that side. Over all very happy withe the product and would recommend it to both friends and family.

Great insurance/piece of mind
Pressures matched my digital gauge. Easy to set up. It’s the type of thing you don’t appreciate until you really need it. I had a blow out last year and like the piece of mind I get knowing this is constantly monitoring the tires. Could have gone with a cheaper model but so far after two trips I’m happy with my choice.

Pease of mind!
Very nice system. Easy set up and off you go. Completed 4000 mile trip with fifth wheel, great peace of mind. Only had to adjust high pressure limit only once and worked great after. Recommend this product for any trailer application when you are worried about blowing tires.
