Double check that they cover the higher pressures that Motorhomes use. Many of these cheaper versions on amazon and eBay are only suitable for cars tyre pressures.

4.5 bar = 65 psi.

The Zeepin system I ordered (which still hasn’t arrived 🤬) has a range of 6 bar. I ordered from Gearbest. The tracking states it hasn’t yet been shipped from the Netherlands

but I’m suspecting it’s on a slow boat from China.

Aliphat ,whilst that tyre pressure unit is ok for car and small van it is no good on Michelin Camping and others which are up 5.5 bar.As Rambler has noticed vendors on Ebay are now using a UK address and sourcing anywhere taking weeks to arrive, They are also loading Irish north and south with extra delivery charges ,the article is delivered free in UK so it has costings which are not discounted but another larger charge lumped on top. Hermes is a good carrier at good price £2.79 for a kilo dropped off a collection point or £3.40 picked up by courier in Northern Ireland to UK. worth checking their web site as they operate in both North and South.

Difficult without experience to know how they will cope with changing pressures. My rear tyres are set at 80psi and this increases to 90 when the tyres have warmed to their running temperature. At present in the colder weather they start at 70psi and when warmed up read 80.psi.

The important part of having a monitor is to detect under inflation or loss of psi as this is what leads to blowouts which can be catastrophic in the worst scenario, through to causing flail damage to the body work, or if lucky simply a loss of tyrepressure and a scary few moments till you get stopped.

Davy, I had a blow out once on a French motorway while driving a Swift KonTiki. It was a rear wheel and my heart skipped a few beats while I got the sway under control. The French police closed the inside lane while I got the wheel changed. Those monitors look a good job
