When You’re On The Road a Lot, an RV TPMS Is a Lifesaver

In order to highlight the best RV TPMS’ available, we took a close look at the different options and compared them to one another. We examined their features and capabilities first and foremost, assessing their ability to work on multiple tires, whether they required wiring or worked wirelessly, how many sensors were offered, and what kinds (and sizes) of RVs each product was compatible with. 

To determine the quality of each RV TPMS we considered, we also took a look at users’ real-life experiences putting them to use via reviews. This helped us determine which TPMS options were long-lasting, reliable, and consistent in their on-road alerts. 

For a high-quality RV TPMS, consider the Bellacorp Tire Pressure Monitoring System, which features a powerful system that can monitor temperature and air pressure of up to 34 tires, or the B-Qtech RV TPMS, which can be powered via a built-in solar panel or conveniently charged via a USB cable.

If you’re hoping to catch tire pressure changes and potential problems while you’re behind the wheel of your RV, you’ll want to make sure you pick out a top-tier RV TPMS. Here’s what you need to look for and think about while you’re comparing different products.

Make sure that your battery is quality enough so that it does not have any issues like excessive or overheating. Some TPMS include rechargeable batteries, which are incredibly convenient and do not need to be replaced. Other TPMS for RV's include solar batteries, which are extremely efficient, but they do typically result in a more expensive, higher electric usage.

You'll want to choose a model that has an easy-to-read display, while it is also extremely accurate. Make sure that your TPMS presents the readings in simple English. Some of the best displays also feature indicator lights in a few different colors, which helps with the accuracy and to avoid confusion.

Finding a model that is easy to install will save you a lot of time. You'll want to choose a TPMS that you can install on your own without the help of a professional. Check out the instruction manual or read the reviews before making a final decision, to choose a user-friendly TPMS for your RV.

RV TPMS are available at an excellent value; you can find options priced under $100. However, the most common price range is $100 to $300, which includes a variety of different types, as well as products with many special features.

As with something you do for decades upon decades, you pick up a few tips and tricks along the way in terms of selecting the right product, and/or using it. That’s the case with us and an RV TPMS. To help you bridge the information gap, here’s a selection of what we’ve learned along the way.

A TPMS can take this work off your hands and handle it all for you.

A: When you equip your RV with a TPMS, you’ll attach the sensors to the inner part of your tires’ rims. Each tire gets its own sensor.

A: Most of today’s RV TPMS sensors are battery-powered. Each sensor will have its own battery enclosed in its durable outer casing, and the sensors will last as long as their batteries are powered and capable.
