Smartire - Active Tire Pressure Monitoring for RVs
Tire-Pressure Monitoring System Overview
A SmarTire TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) monitors all tires independently, ensuring they are properly inflated and running optimally. If an air pressure or temperature problem occurs, you are immediately alerted so that you can take the appropriate corrective action.
The Problem
Tire under-inflation is the main cause of pre-mature tire wear and can cause a significant reduction in fuel economy. Tire under-inflation is also the main cause of catastrophic tire failure. There are few situations more stressful, dangerous and inconvenient than having a tire blowout. The fact is most blowouts can be traced back to damage suffered from prolonged driving on under-inflated tires. Itšs frightening, but studies show that almost half of all RV tires are under-inflated.
Did you know?
- 20% under-inflation can reduce tire life by 30%
- 20% under-inflation can increase tire wear by 25%
- 20% under-inflation can reduce fuel economy by 3%
The Solution
SmarTire for RVs is a tire pressure monitoring system specifically designed to meet the unique needs of RVs. SmarTire constantly monitors your tires and warns you of a tire problem before it becomes dangerous.
Wheel-mounted transmitters continually monitor the pressure and temperature in your tires. This information is sent using radio frequency technology via an antenna located on the rear of the motorhome to a Receiver mounted under the dashboard. A small dash-mounted display provides the information at the touch of a button. If a tire problem is detected, the display will immediately flash and issue an audible alarm. This early warning gives you the opportunity to repair or change your tire before the situation becomes serious.
Smartire for RVs System Overview
- 1. The graphic display is mounted in view of the driver providing real-time tire information. If a problem occurs, both an audible and visual warning alerts the driver to the condition.
- 2. Towed vehicle or trailer tires can be monitored by simply adding low pressure sensors to the wheels.
- 3. In-wheel sensors constantly monitor tire pressure and temperature. Tire data is transmitted wirelessly to the receiver.
- 4. The receiver can monitor up to 20 wheel positions and is able to handle the most complex RV and towed vehicle/trailer configurations.
Installation & Operation
SmarTirešs high pressure sensor/transmitters are mounted securely to the rim using stainless steel straps. This strap mount system has been proven on tens of thousands of vehicles worldwide.
SmarTire for RVs provides everything you need including the graphic display unit, receiver, and sensors. Add low pressure sensors to monitor the tires of a towed vehicle or trailer.
