The TOAD (Our Honda CRV) will have tire pressure sensors strapped to the inside of each tire, around the wheel.
Some of you will know that many vehicles come with radio signal transmitting tire pressure sensors built into their tire valve stems. Our CRV does now, but they only transmit to the car dashboard. But these powerful little sensors send their code to a receiver mounted under the rear of the motor coach. That antenna picks up current tire pressures and displays it, along with the pressure of each tire on the coach, in a video screen in the driver's cab. Even the spares are monitored.
'On man!", someone just said, "Talk about one lazy old pastor! He can't even take the time to check his own tires once in a while!"
Well, I am lazy, but beyond that, I am extra safety conscious, especially since all of these tires will be carrying Mona and I and our home around sometimes at 60 or more miles per hour.
Yeah! Even higher than 60, maybe! (Well, not alot higher. Diesel fuel's expensive at 10 miles to the gallon!)
