There are a number of quality tpms on the market. The bulk are made for the semi tractor trailer and RV world. I have some that a previous owner had one my 2008 Fleetwood Discovery 39R. When I bought the coach, I added 4 sensors for the host or car, whichever I was towing. It worked sometimes. But lost signal sometimes. I added a signal booster and that helped but then found that my sensors needed to be replaced as well. The company, Tire Minder, notes that their newer products had better reliability and I should upgrade. These systems for 10-12 tires range from about $400 to over $1000. The big issue for boat trailer use, is that you need to consider that the sensor is submerged when you launch/recover. I wouldn’t recommended Tire Minder. I hear Pressure Pro is a good system. But then I don’t know if it is 100% waterproof and won’t leak under pressure in the water. The big issue is the signal degradation from your car where the monitor will be, to the trailer. That’s not s big distance on a pickup or car, but my coach is 39’ long so I needed the booster. Hope this helps.
