Question:
TireMinder TPMS for Dual Axle Trailers - Solar Powered - LCD Monitor - 4 Tire Sensors Item # TPMS-TRAILER Want to use this on Minnie Winnebago under 25 feet. Some folks on chat state they had to change out the tire stems to all metal ones. Is this necessary? Thanks

The only time you'll need to change out your tire stems to use the TireMinder TPMS for Dual Axle Trailers # TPMS-TRAILER is if they are in bad shape and need to be changed out anyways. I reached out to my contact at TireMinder and he said that the cap sensors in this kit only weigh in at 0.3oz so they are light enough they don't warrant metal valve stems.
He did say that some of their other kits use heavier sensors (standard is 0.5oz and flow-through are 0.7oz) and for those it is recommended to install metal valve stems to accommodate the heavier weight.
