It is great the tire pressure monitoring system alerted you to the problem. But be aware sometimes the notification is concurrent with a blowout failure. I posted in another thread about our experience this summer with another Montana owner and their loss of three china bombs in 50+ miles. They have a pressure monitoring system too. But the "Pop" noise came just before the alert. The first two times they were lucky with no damage. The third time, not so much.

Frequent visual inspection, proper PSI, no excessive speed, and a pressure monitoring system are good things but still may not save you from trailer damage when one of these bombs suddenly fails.
