Collection: Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

Shop HawksHead trailer tire pressure monitoring systems for travel trailers, fifth wheels, utility trailers and multi-axle towing setups. Compare trailer TPMS systems by tire count, pressure range, sensor configuration and monitoring distance.

How to Choose the Best Trailer TPMS for Your Setup

The best trailer tire pressure monitoring system should match your tire count, operating pressure, valve configuration and the distance between the trailer sensors and the monitor. Start with the complete towing setup, then choose a TPMS with enough sensor capacity for every trailer tire you want to monitor.

Tire Count

Count every trailer tire you want to monitor. Single-axle, tandem-axle and multi-axle trailers require different sensor capacities.

Pressure Range

Confirm that the TPMS system and compatible sensors support the operating pressure range required by your trailer tires.

Monitoring Distance

Longer towing combinations increase the distance between trailer sensors and the monitor and may require additional signal support.

Trailer TPMS by Towing Setup

Trailer TPMS requirements vary by trailer type, number of axles and towing distance. Choose a system with enough sensor capacity for the complete trailer configuration.

Travel Trailer TPMS

A travel trailer TPMS lets you monitor tire pressure and temperature from the tow vehicle while traveling. Consider total tire count, towing distance and valve access when selecting the system.

Fifth Wheel TPMS

Fifth wheel setups may require monitoring multiple trailer tire positions over a longer sensor-to-monitor distance. Choose sufficient sensor capacity and consider signal range when configuring the system.

Utility & Cargo Trailer TPMS

Utility and cargo trailers can use a TPMS to monitor tire pressure and temperature during highway towing, loaded trips and multi-axle use.

Why Monitor Trailer Tire Pressure and Temperature?

Trailer tires are positioned behind the tow vehicle, making pressure loss or rising temperature harder to detect while driving. A trailer TPMS provides real-time tire pressure and temperature information at monitored tire positions so the driver has better visibility while towing.

Trailer TPMS Sensors, Valves and Signal Support

Sensor capacity is only one part of a trailer TPMS setup. Valve access, replacement sensors and wireless communication distance can also affect how the monitoring system is configured.

Additional TPMS Sensors

Add compatible sensors when you need to monitor additional trailer tire positions.

Trailer TPMS FAQs

What is a trailer tire pressure monitoring system?

A trailer tire pressure monitoring system uses compatible sensors to monitor tire pressure and temperature at trailer tire positions and transmit that information to a monitor in the tow vehicle.

What is the best trailer tire pressure monitoring system?

The best trailer TPMS is one that supports the total number of trailer tires you want to monitor, the required tire pressure range, your sensor and valve configuration, and the distance between the sensors and monitor.

Do travel trailers need a TPMS?

A TPMS provides real-time pressure and temperature visibility for travel trailer tires while towing, helping the driver identify changes that would otherwise be difficult to detect from the tow vehicle.

How many TPMS sensors does a trailer need?

You generally need one compatible sensor for each trailer tire position you want to monitor. Total sensor count depends on the number of tires and axles in the trailer configuration.

Does a trailer TPMS monitor tire temperature?

Compatible HawksHead trailer TPMS sensors transmit both tire pressure and temperature information to the system monitor.

Does a trailer TPMS need a signal booster?

Not every trailer setup requires additional signal support. Longer sensor-to-monitor distances or vehicle structures that reduce wireless communication may make a compatible signal booster useful.
