Tyre pressure monitors on Ebay

I had a bloke come on a trip with me this year who had his 4by and camper set up with one of these monitors. Cost him a fair packet though(around $1500 from memory). They work very well. I am still not sure why one would need them but as an additional toy to the array of 4x4 toys one collects....well why not?...lol

I don't think that he had any electronic interference problems.

Wazza,

I got 2 sets after initial reports on www.campertrailers.org forum.
Cost me around $140 AUS for 2 sets delivered.
I set is for the car and 2nd set for camper trailer and a spare.

One main drawback of the system is that it only comes with 4 sensors - so
you don't have a sensor for the spare tyre. It should be OK for Camper
Trailer where the tyres seat about 2m behind the end of the car, however
I haven't fitted the second set of sensors to CT as yet.

You can use both sets at the same time as long as all the 8 sensors are
in the range. If one of the sensors is not in range the main unit will
beep continuously and show 0 PSI for that sensor.

I got 4 sensors from one set fitted to the 4 tyres and 1 sensor from other
set fitted to spare tyre. The main units from second set shows one tyre with
correct pressure/temperature and beeps continuously on all others...

I have tested it through Madigan Line and it seems to work OK. Didn't had
any flats with MTR's, so can't comment on how fast they respond.

In short would recommend them to anyone who goes to the desert/etc
as a cheap insurance against ruined tyres. Sensors around $100 (probably $200)
fitted and with a tyre cost of around $300+ makes it no brainer...
