The TireMinder TPMS for Single Axle Trailers part # TPMS-TRL-2 requires direct sunlight to power the monitor. Therefore, if the monitor is installed under the loft on a class c motorhome it may not get enough sunlight. Instead, I recommend the iN-Command TPMS part # NCTP1002 which send data to a mobile device of your choosing.

The TireMinder TPMS for Single Axle Trailers may still work you would just need to find a spot that gets direct sunlight.
