Yesterday while driving to Casa Grande, Arizona I saw a 5th wheel being towed down the opposite lane doing freeway speed, both tires blown on one side, smoke spewing, sparks flying while the driver happily drove down the road without a care. A few weeks ago a guy pulled into a spot next to me with this tire. 
This shredded tire wobbled on a travel trailer most of the way through Joshua Tree National Park because the driver didn’t know it had blown. His tandem axle was able to hold the trailer up while he unknowingly dragged this tire through the park. Have you ever had a flat on your coach not knowing it until someone drove by waiving, honking and pointing? Here is the solution to this problem. Meet Mike and Pat McFall. They are Pressure Pro dealers. This system has been around for 4 years now but deserves another look. The purpose of this system is to monitor your tire pressure while you drive. What a great invention!

The National Tread Act mandates that all new automobiles sold in the United States in 2008 must be equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems. However, this act doesn’t apply to trucks, semi-trucks or RVs, so you'll have to purchase a system like this if you are going to enjoy this kind of protection.The system consists of external sensors that screw onto the tire valve stems and feed tire pressure information to the system monitor in your cab.
Installation is simple and the system has a one year warranty. Now you can rest easy as you drive and enjoy the RV experience because you know your tire pressure is correct and when a tire begins to fail you will know it immediately.You may contact Mike & Pat at http://www.pressureprosystem.com/ or call them at (850) 294-0281

I have had a pressure pro system for 18 months. It has already paid for itself when an inside rear tire lost air. The system alerted me that the pressure had gone from 65 pounds to 50 pounds and then to 15 pounds. The truck gave no signs of having a flat tire. The system is well worth the money.
The pressure pro instructions indicate that the sensor batteries last between 24 and 40 months. When the batteries fail, the sensors need to be replaced at $50 each. The dealers seem to exclude that piece of information in the ads. This could be a large re-occurring expense if you purchase sensors for both the truck and trailer.
After an unnoticed blowout on my fifth wheel, I bought the PressurePro system and have felt very confident while traveling. Here's a tip that may help: You should make some sort of marking on each sensor to identify which position it occupies on your rig, since each sensor is also a transmitter that sends a location specific signal to the monitor. This allows you to remove the sensors when you are parked for awhile, thereby saving and prolonging the batteries in the sensors. Another point: While the sensors are $50 each, when the battery needs replacement, the folks that sold me my system said that the exchange cost would be $25 per. Great product!!
