The Sailun's seem to be a big hit on 5vers and are much cheaper

Any of you that have mounted the TPMS system so that you can plug it in inside the bed.. did you manage to get the TPMS box below the body of the trailer? How far from your wheels did you end up mounting it, and how does it work?
Wonder if Nichols could sell an extension for the TPMS side of the harness.. cuz I'm not sure I'll be able to get it below the front wall of my trailer.. and it will be quite a ways from the tires.

I have a 43' RV and mounted the receiver under the belly about 6' back. I went as far back as the harness would allow. And it's working.

The 614's are pricey.

Great.. if we ever get some dry weather around here I'll have to go out and pull out my old camera system and get the new one installed. Sounds like I shouldn't have a problem since my trailers are all quite a bit shorter to the axles than yours.

I found a place already mounted on aluminum rims, suitable for 110psi, for $250 free shipping.

I'm the first to admit, I have no knowledge or experience with the Sailun's. Maybe they are just as good as the G614's. I don't know. I wasn't shopping price, I was shopping peace of mind.

I guess I was just after what I believed to be the best tires, not the lowest price. No offense intended. The tires I just took off our rig only had about 3K miles on them. I figured it was worth the money for the peace of mind coming from knowing I have great tires behind me when I'm running 70 mph in 100 degree weather.

I don't blame you for being sceptical. Look them up. I've just not heard anything bad about them. Definitely let me know if you find some dirt on them.

I switched my trailer's ST tires out to LT tires a few years ago, and went Bridgestone Duravis R250 Commercial Rib tires, they have lasted many long trips and best tire choice I have made by far on any of my trailers. According to UPS, my TMPS/camera should be here tomorrow, and hopefully I will have the truck by later this week, so we'll see how it all goes together for my setup by the weekend.
