Why External TPMS Is a Must-Have for RVs and Trailers
TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Just as the name sounds, a TPMS will track your tire pressure and alert you when it is too high or too low.
Many vehicles have a potential TPMS replacement. But it doesn’t quite work like an external replacement. In this article, we’ll see why RVs and trailers need an external TPMS.
Why External TPMS Is Essential for Every RV and Trailer Owner
Traveling in an RV or towing a trailer can be exciting. But long trips and heavy loads can be ruined by bad tires. A flat or blowout can cause you stress on a supposed fun trip.
Sadly, tire blowouts are often behind RV accidents. Many of these mishaps could have been prevented. A big rig or trailer puts extra pressure on tires. So the tires on these vehicles can fail fast without any warning.
That is why smart RV and trailer owners use a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It gives real-time updates on tire pressure and temperature so you can anticipate the trouble and resolve it.
What Is an External TPMS and How Does It Work?
TPMS is a device that watches your tire pressure and temperature. They are sensors that you attach to your tire's stem valve. Then there is an LCD monitor that connects to every sensor.
The monitor shows the PSI (pounds per square inch) rating per time. So you can know when a tire is leaking slowly or overheating. You can pull over safely and fix the problem before it becomes dangerous or expensive.
Internal vs. External TPMS: What is the Difference?
There are two types of TPMS:
Internal TPMS: These sensors are installed inside the tire, on the wheel rim. They work well, but they are harder to install and maintain.
External TPMS: These sensors screw onto the tire valve stem. You do not have to remove the tires. They are simple to install, easy to move, and perfect for RVs, trailers, and fleets.
How External Sensors Monitor Tire Health in Real Time
External TPMS sensors read the tire’s pressure and temperature constantly. They send this data to a monitor in your vehicle. You will get an alert if something is off. For example, the system will alert you if it reads low pressure or very high tire temperature. It is like having a tire expert riding with you!
Key Benefits of External TPMS for RVs and Trailers
An external system from GUTA TPMS has several benefits and may be preferred over an internal TPMS. These benefits include:

Easy Installation and Maintenance (No Need To Break Down Tires)

Real-Time Alerts for Pressure Drops and Temperature Spikes
A sudden pressure drop could mean the tires have stepped on a nail. Overheating might signal tire stress or friction. GUTA external TPMS alerts you right away so you can fix it before a blowout happens.
Easy Installation and Maintenance (No Need To Break Down Tires)
No need to visit a tire shop or remove tires. Just screw the sensors onto each valve stem, pair them to the monitor, and you are set. Also, the sensor batteries can be replaced when they die.
With the GUTA GT80 TPMS, you can refill air without unscrewing the sensors. The anti-theft feature means your investment is secure. These features help to simplify the installation and maintenance tasks.

Real-World Stories: RV and Trailer Owners Who Use GUTA TPMS
Consider this GUTA TPMS review from Jeremy, a trailer owner in the US:
“While on the highway all the sudden the pressure alarm went off, one of my tires was rapidly losing air. If it hadn't been for the sensor, I would have had no idea. Turns out it was the valve stem suddenly leaking. Saved me from completely destroying the tires. The sensors are easy to install and I never had a connection issue. Good product, happy I bought it.”
See this anonymous review from an RV owner:
“I found this TPMS to work as advertised, giving me more information about the tires on the RV/trailer I'm towing. Definitely takes some of the stress out of driving on the road. I contacted customer support a few times with inquiries; both before and after my purchase and they were awesome and quick to respond.”
