TrailManor Owner's Forum - View Single Post - Constant, real time tire pressure monitoring: hopefully improved blowout protection

Two years ago my hubby and I took a trailerload of adoption bound greyhounds from Tucson to Coeur d'Alene in 24 hours. An exhausting trip and nerve wracking (the dogs are not well protected and suffer from changes in temperature). The trailer is very similar to a long TM in size. I was driving on the freeway in downtown Salt Lake City during rush hour at 75 mph when one of our tires blew. HOLY COW. My first concern, after limping off the freeway, was that none of the dogs were hurt by flying belts or chunks of rubber. We changed the tire easily enough, and were on our way. I learned two things. The people in Salt Lake City are generous to a fault, and I NEVER want to go through that again. Thank you Ray for the innovative ideas and the precision of your tutorials (plus great pics). I will be doing this upgrade.
