I have a mate that runs a similar setup since he has a double tandem trailer he takes offroad. He's had flats and not noticed, especially when going slow over terrain. So he decided to install a tpms on the trailer and on his troopie. It seems to work ok - we were out bush for 2 weeks and I didn't hear him complain of false alerts etc.

The tpms sensor units are relatively large and hang off the valve stem quite a bit, so not sure how durable the setup is if they scrub onto rocks and stuff. i.e. I'd be somewhat worried they catch on stuff offroad and rip off...

I can see their use for a trailer etc, when it's not obvious if you have a flat in some situations.

cheers,
george.
