Default Trailer Tire TPMS

Anyone have a setup that they would recommend?
I have been looking at this one, but interested to hear from anyone else.

No experience with any of the trailer systems but here is one from the Tire Rack web site:

It has several reasonable reviews.

I use Pressure Pro and works very well. No issues with failure in 2 years and saved me once before tire went flat. Will have to exchange sensors when battery fails. I think average life of sensors is 3 years

I bought this one a few months ago an it's great. Really nice being able to keep an eye on trailer tire pressure and temperature. I velcroed the display on top of the steering column in the truck and a quick glance down show me what I need to know.

I have the TST system and really like it. I had one sensor go bad last year and was replaced for free.

It comes with the little 2" antenna and a longer cable antenna that you can run up over your visors. I have a crew cab dually, and a 24' enclosed trailer and thought I might need the optional powered range extender (which would mount in the front of the trailer), but just using the little 2" antenna on the dash unit has works fine. The unit has a clip and fits onto one of the vents on my dash.

I agree Jay, it is nice to see the pressures and temps in the little screen.
