Hi Chris,

Dennis gave the link. I have the internal sensor model.

So mine has sensors inside. I will need to change batteries when the tires change. Fingers crossed the batteries last a long time as Heidi really likes the sensors and I like getting the quick and easy feedback.

I’m surprised that the tires are holding pressure so consistently. It seemed I was always adding air in the past. But these tires are just holding steady.

Best,

Eric Caron

Heidi really enjoys knowing the pressures and keeping track of the temp and changes. She lets me know at start up and during the trip and at the end. The screen is easy to understand and it just works. >> >> I barely need my tire gage now, and the pressure is quickly checked at the start of every trip. >> >> The other big surprise is that she loves the rear hitch. She is fairly short and uses it like a step. She finds it much easier to access the back of the van and also to clean the back when hatch closed. Dennis actually recommended a matching step and I am looking forward to it. The extra nice thing is that I like sitting in the back of the open hatch but it was challenging without a step. I think you will find me there more often with dog and ukulele now that it is an easy place to sit comfortably. >> >> >> Eric Caron >> Still getting his van in order but loving it more and more every day.
