tyre pressure monitoring system for caravans

Ah, the trusty tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for caravans—because nobody fancies a blowout in the outback. A TPMS helps keep an eagle eye on your caravan’s tyre pressures and temperatures, alerting you before disaster strikes. Most systems include sensors that screw onto the valve stems and a display unit inside your tow vehicle or caravan.

Key specs: real-time pressure and temperature readings, wireless transmission, and alerts for low pressure or rapid deflation. Prices range from about AUD 150 for basic kits to over AUD 500 for advanced models with smartphone connectivity. Used units pop up occasionally on Tradingpost and CarShowroom but beware the sensor battery life.

Installing one is a no-brainer for safety-conscious caravanners who want to avoid roadside dramas and maintain fuel efficiency.
