I have gone from a TyreDog TPMS which I found unreliable - to the iCheck TPMS (8 sensor) - I don't worry about the spares on the 4x4 and van. I find the iCheck system great. With most sensors, when you air down, you have to fiddle & reset high and low pressure alarm settings, but with the iCheck, it does all that for you. It alarms if pressures exceed 25% or drop by 15%. Drop your pressures to say 25psi and it will reset itself to alarm at 25% above or 15% below that. I also bought the signal booster so there were no signal problems to the van tyres. (tandem 21') It all adds up, but if you wanted, they also now sell wheel bearing temp sensors for the van. Not sure how good or otherwise they are. Loving your videos. Cheers, Dave
Plus 1 for iCheck. I didn’t need a booster for the van. Self reset when airing up or down is a winner. One button to push to add or disconnect trailer monitoring. It showed me my right rear car tyre was getting up to a higher temp & pressure than the other three, indicating it was carrying a bit more load, a couple extra psi at cold sorted that out. In some circumstances the sun reflects off the top of it onto my windscreen which can be annoying but hardly a deal breaker. Haven’t had to charge it in six months since install. Wild Touring has a discount code that worked for me. Love the vids team!
Oricom TPMS is great for us. Has pressure and temp. For the can you’ll need a repeater for the signal - I wired mine to the tow plug power supply and earth. Display module sits on dash as charges with solar.
I’ve used two types of tyre pressure monitors over 8 years of towing vans. First was a safety Dave system which was fine. Currently running an Icheck system and it is great. It monitors pressure and temperature of the tyres and the monitor is solar charged. 👍
Hey guys, I use the Safety Dave tpms. Have done for a couple of years now and they have saved a few tyres in that time, mainly when I’ve picked up a tek screw. Thanks for the info on the hybrid, have ordered ours and can’t wait for it to arrive.
We are running the ICheck TPMS, has been great so far and saved us once. Only annoying part is they constantly beep when deflating or inflating until the cap goes back on the valve
I have safety Dave on the NPS and Caravan has saved 3 tyres for us in 40k km around Australia. I am happy with it but what works for me won’t necessarily work for everyone. Having met you Simon I would say you would be more than capable of installing the system yourself as well!
On the topic of safety, we have 3 kids and will be travelling over summer (our 1st long trip) when you say you lock all windows I'm wondering how you would go about it if you where us as we only have 12v and can't run our air-conditioning so will need windows open overnight so we don't overheat..... what would you safety wise I'm very worried
@ducfatsvideos.6293 really? I've gone into our van at night in 35 degrees and it's like a sauna specially in the kids bunk area that's twice as hot as anywhere else
Hey guys, Another ripper episode… We use the icheck TPMS but ours is the early model where you need to set high & low parameters which is pretty easy but the current model is even easier… just screw the sensors on and the preset deviation is programmed in already. We’ve had low pressure warnings twice which would have been blow outs so definitely a great investment.
@@just_an_aussie_mum5493can you get a large battery system ( eco flow, blueetti ) type set up and use the fold out solar panels to charge electricity so you can run your air conditioner for night. I’m sure you will feel safe in a caravan park, etc, wheres there’s a lot of people, this family are taking all precautions in unknown areas where there isolated, and don’t know the demographics of those surroundings. Don’t panic, get organised and don’t stay in places where you feel uncomfortable, use that mothers intuition.

Well done you pair. Always very good and detail information. Luv ya Videos.👍

Hey guys you have to have an average camp now and again to make the good ones even better 👌, the glass is always half full

The suspense for next Sunday! It's going to be a long week of waiting.
Great episode

I check works for us 22foot van no booster required pressure and temps 👍👍
Oh shit, I drove from Rawlina to cocklebiddy. Was painfully slow. From memory for the 130k or whatever took around 7-9 hours
Oricom TPMS never failed me. About $230
And if one of you don't feel comfortable don't stop. Because both of you need to feel safe.
A good tyre monitoring system is the best thing since condoms. They save you from getting into trouble. 😊
Safety dave. TPM.
Have the safety dave tpms, get the extender as well.
I wouldn't mind trying the oricom or icheck one as they are solar and have the multiple presents.
We use icheck tpms it's saved our van a lot of damage
Noice episode... I am finding it VERY hard to believe you have been travelling for 3Years without TPMS? :-/
I have safety dave on my 76

If you’re concerned, run your fans. That’s all you need to keep comfortable overnight.
