You can absolutely add sensors for a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to monitor 8 tires on your RV. There are two options for a TPMS I recommend:

- TireMinder Smart TPMS for RVs - Signal Booster - 6 Tire Sensors # TPMS-APP-6 with Brass Tire Sensors for TireMinder TPMS - Qty 2 # TM-2Brass

- TST TPMS for RVs - Color Display - Signal Booster - 6 Flow Through Tire Sensors # TST-507-FT-6-C with Flow Through Tire Sensors for TST TPMS - Qty 2 # TST-507-FT-S2

Each of these are great systems, with the difference being the Smart TPMS uses an app on your smartphone - which needs to have Bluetooth 4.0 iOS7+ (Apple) or KitKat 4.4+ (Android) - while the TST uses an independent monitor which you can mount on either your window or dash.

I have added links to video reviews of both systems for you to check out as well.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Yes, the puck system used on the 2016-2019 Chevy/GMC trucks is different than the pucks used on the 2020 and newer trucks. So you would need a 5th wheel like the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710 for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8' Bed. If you…

Hi Frank; the #RP74FR (68204) and #SWW-06 look different because they are a little different. The #RP74FR is only designed to work with the 68220 and 69220. If you have a different Sidewinder this wedge will not fit. It also fits a wider range of 5th…
