Right that is the brand. Have not heard much about them. Their pluses and minuses.

This system looks very interesting and it is far less expensive. I priced out the Tirepressure Pro and it comes up to about $400 from their website for 4 tires. About $175 for the unit and $50 per sensor.

This unit (that measures beyond 60psi--since my Airstream is rated at 65psi) is about $225+19 shipping, includes 4 sensors, batteries can be replaced (unlike Tirepressure Pro's sensors), and replacement sensors are $11 less expensive than Tirepressure Pro. The senors are also (if I'm reading correctly) 1/2 the weight compared to Tirepressure Pro.

This unit is very small and what I found this particularly interesting:

Ok, I've been reading up on this unit and read several reviews and not one was negative. This is the system I will purchase in spring. I am so glad I came across this thread!

I got this system for Christmas. It sets up readily. Very accurate as well.
Using the signal booster just to be sure.
I like the fact that the tire sensor batteries can be purchased anywhere.
