I am looking for any information about these systems, pro and con. I am starting to look at them for my 40' Eagle and plan on pulling a dual axel cargo trailer. Any information as to brands, cost, etc., would be helpful. Thanks eh! |

Try to find a popular unit that over the road semi's use. You don't want to invest in one that is no longer serviced in just a couple of years. |

We purchased our PressurePro system from Jim Shepherd www.rvsafetysystems.com Jim is a fellow busnut that travels in an Eagle with a S-60 and Eaton Auto-Shift.
we have the sensors on our MC-8 and our Grand Cherokee toad. Jack |

I also purchased my PressurePro from Jim but haven't used it yet. I have the monitor installed and most of the necessary valve extensions but the valve extensions worry me. Every time I go to put them on, it's usually when I'm getting ready to leave. I have heard too many war stories about them leaking. Also I need to rotate one of my inner drives to locate a hidden valve. Figured I would wait until I had everything ready and on hand to do it all at once!
Looks like a nice unit though!

There's nothing like a "walk around", to check for the nasty bubble, or a
sidewall crack, that those devices won't tell you about...
Like an oil gauge, it isn't something you use in place of a physical check
and common sense. |

I found that walk a rounds are essential but you can't see everything especially on those insides!
Can't wait to get my PressurePro monitor up and running but first things first like keeping my batteries UP (new problem while driving) and keeping my entry door sealed while driving (another NEW problem) but running it more often now has allowed me the opportunity to find these NEW problems! Yea!
