Since I have 2 trucks and 2 trailers can I use a single monitor and just measure the pressure of the other trailer assuming I am alongside?
Wayne, if you have the unit on top of your dash, and if the 2nd vehicle were ahead or beside of you, it just might work. My Doran system will pick up the trailer from the driveway while the truck is in the garage with the doors closed, or visa versa. Beware though, that the tire sensors only transmit every 5 minutes or so if the tire pressures are within range, so you might hafta stay close to the other vehicle for a while until you recieve a transmission. Also, if they would be out of range during a pressure lose, or if you don't have good communications with them, then that driver would not know something is going on.

The Doran system does transmit almost immediately if there is a excessive lose (or gain).
