The ones I have seen not only monitor the tire pressure but also the temp.
I would think this would be a huge advantage.
I may have been able to see something was going on before my tire, and rim decided it wanted a divorce from my trailer.

Re: Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) for trailer
Neat idea... I had no idea these things existed. Some have enough display and sensor quantity capability to monitor the tires on your tow rig as well, if you're lucky enough to be driving a 21-year-old (i.e. pre-2012) Dodge POS that doesn't have factory tire pressure sensors like I am.

Actually that one will do up to 22 tires. If you traveled in a tight enough group, that could monitor the tires of the guy behind and in front of you! Because that's what we should be doing on trips... reducing to an unsafe following distance in the name of tire pressure monitoring.

Looks like a good idea. This quote is from a tech guy where they sell them.

Re: Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) for trailer
What the tech was saying was not to use the flow thru. They are longer and could get hung up. I think it's a good idea. They can be transferred from trailer to trailer or what ever.
