Question:

What tire monitoring system would you recommend to use on 3 separate single axle trailers, obviously to be towed at separate times? All of the axles are within 25 - 30 feet of the driver’s seat. How do you designate which tires to monitor and not throw an error for any tires out of range of the monitor or booster? I am questioning the importance of the flow thru sensors because I seldom have to adjust the tire pressure more than once a year. Is it very difficult to remove the non-flow thru sensors to adjust the pressure? Finally, I am leaning toward using a smart phone app rather than a dedicated monitor to reduce dashboard clutter. Are the features the same on both devices and do you have a preference? Will a tire alert supersede any other app being run? IE, GPS, music, phone call

You could use the TireMinder i10 part # TM56FR for your three trailer setup and it would work great. The sensor spots on the display that aren't being used would just show blank and the other sensors would still show up like you'd want to.

Non-flow through sensors like this would work just fine for your setup since you don't plan to be adjusting air pressure frequently. Essentially these would be basically like valve stem caps. Removal is not difficult.

To do a smart phone setup similar to this with 10 sensors you'd want the part # TM79FR.
