Help! I got my TPMS just in time for my 1st flat tire...

That's about like the Guage I use.

Certifies on my dive equipment as correct at 120psi. But at a $15 retail price... I probably just got lucky.

I like it because it's big and stabs onto a valve stem like a knife.
(I painted it florescent orange with tulip plastic paint. It blends in too well at twilight and I was having to scan to find it when it was black. Now it catches my eye.)

Thanks for the quick reply & I'll let you know how well the Ryobi does once I've charged it fully per the directions I managed to skip over...

So how did the Ryobi compressor work for you? I might be interested in one if it actually works good.

It's a religion on this forum to chase psi to the ounce.
The tpms is a warning device. It warned you of the 38psi.
It is not a tire pressure Guage.
Mine is off by five pounds. To some here that would be the end of the world and they'd sell their rv.

I know it's off five pounds. I'm looking for a differential between tires as a warning, not a confirmation of my exact tire pressure.

Exactly. My 2 gauges read 100psi. When I put in the tire minders they all read up to 5 lb different. Had me chasing my tail till I resolved to the fact that these were just to alarm on differences...

Not sure you can find anything more accurate. I will tell you they are pricey. You will not get one of their gauges for 5 or 10 dollars.

This is the gauge I use

I don't work for them but have used their products with great results for years.

BTW, personal decision for me was not to use pass through sensors even though they are available for my TPMS. When I get my valve stem extensions installed in a couple of weeks I may re-evaluate that decision.

Dave, I need valve extension for my front tires. Can you tell me what you decided on? Thanks

I’m having braided lines put on my inner duals, that’s all. I don’t need extensions up front.

Thx. My tire is still holding after refilling. I'll get it checked for the slow leak once I pull up stakes again from this famcamp. I'm happy w/my RVi purchase so far, but wish they'd had the pass through options others are talking about, for the convenience in filling.
