I am also a Doran user. Sure is nice to just go out to the truck and do a quick check of all my tires and know if I need to tweek them a bit before charging off. To prevent stem leaks, I keep them short (no extentions). That makes airing the inside tire on the dual rear wheels a bit of a chore, but the Doran keeps me from having to go into contortions to check them.
Nothing will prevent flats from road hazards, but maybe this monitoring system will help me get stopped quick enough to prevent the kind of damage and losses I have had on two of my four flats. Those losses totalled around $6,000.00 in body repairs on the Monty. They were insured, but there is the deductibles and the inconvenience to complicate your life.
I have 10 monitors, so my cost was $690.00 from Doran. The cost goes down by $50.00 per wheel that you don't have, i.e., 8 would be $590.00. If you just wanted to monitor the Montana, then you would be looking at $390.00. Replacement monitors run $50.00 each.
