The Oricom TPMS is easy to DIY, especially with the straightforward instructions. It is as easy as replacing each of the tyre’ s valve caps with the appropriately labeled sensor and firing up the monitor to sync it all together. I leave the monitor on the dashboard, and its built-in solar panel keeps it charged up. It is small enough not to obstruct forward vision, and the display is large and bright enough to quickly read at a glance without being too bright to be annoying at night.
Once you start using a TPMS, you will discover that there is actually a lot going on with tyre pressures and temperatures. They are continually changing due to many external factors. Many experts say to follow the‘ 4psi rule’. This implies that as the tyres warm up from cold to normal operating temperatures, the pressure should increase by 4-6psi, indicating the tyre pressures are correct.
Regardless of which brand you go with. I highly recommend some way of monitoring both the tow vehicle’ s and trailer’ s tyre pressures and temperatures. Now that we have the Oricom TPMS, I use that instead of the factoryfitted unit. It gives me more information and is easier to read.
