Trailer TPMS
I recently installed and set up the trailer TPMS and camera. I can see the tire pressure and can use the camera with no issue.
On a recent trip I ran over debris on the road and a trailer tire was literally cut from bead to bead. There is no way that the TPMS could have alerted me before I heard and reacted. However, it never alerted me at all. I pulled over, set my hazards, all the while with no alert. After patching the damage to the trailer and changing the tire, I get back on the road and I can see the screen with the pressure of all tires including the one showing 0 PSI. All this and not a single alert. The PSI for my tires is 75, I set the normal PSI in the trunk to 30 as a test and it never alerted me to high PSI.
What is the time/threshold for it to alert? Do you have to perform some extra steps for it to actually alert you? Because you cannot constantly watch the display, it should notify you.
