TPMS

[Pete-B]

Hi,

 

As anyone tried the Fit2Go TPMS system sold by Roadpro. Looks to be a good offer from Out and About at the moment, but of course only good if the product is up to scratch!

There are several on-line reviews of the Fit2Go TPMS system

and this recent Auto Express comparative test may be worth reading

The advantages of Fit2Go (compared to alternative retro-fittable TPMSs) are listed in this review

Personally, I dislike the idea of firmly sticking anything to my vehicles’ windscreen and I’d rather have all the data related to the pressures in the tyres in one place (ie. on the receiver’s display) rather than need a separate Pressure Checker.

 

Instead of Fit2Go I chose the TyrePal Solar product, but this has not been problem-free.

Following my May 2017 postings in the last link, I reinstalled my TyrePal Solar system on my Rapido motorhome. Most of the time the system works OK, but sometimes there’s a reluctance for one of the sensors to ‘pair’ quickly with the receiver and, on one occasion while driving in France in June, two of the sensors stubbornly refused to pair despite all my efforts. The problem was found to have miraculously disappeared when the system was switched on the next day and has not reappeared so far.

 

I note that the MotorHomeFun discussion does not differentiate between TyrePal systems when commenting on sensor-battery life-span, but 12 months is probably a reasonable expectation for the smaller batteries used with “Solar”, and 24 months for the larger batteries used with the non-Solar systems. The sensor-batteries do need to be well charged, so it’s worth checking this before installing a new TyrePal system.
