I have not bought a new one, but I have used pressure pro system for several years and love the way it works. I am now using it in conjunction with the crossfire system and it works great.

Doran is not selling the pressure-pro system now. They are selling another design.

It looks like Doran has, in fact, switched to featuring a new TPMS other than Pressure Pro. I think they call it the 360.
Has anyone gotten any experience with it yet? I'm ready to pull the trigger and would like to know if I should go with the PP or the 360.

I just received my new 360 system yesterday. I haven't had a chance to put it on yet, but it looks very nice. I will get it on in the next couple of days and let you know.

I purchased the Doran 360 RV. Worked well on our last trip.
Shipping was fast.
A couple things I didn't like.
1. The cord is permanently attached to back of unit. A slide connection would have been better.
2. The stem locks aren't that great. You need this little tiny allen key(provided) to turn screws.
OTher then that it works as promised and was easy to program.

I've been thinking about getting one of these systems for a while now. With a 30 ft TT in tow I'm concerned about the signal strength. The Pressure Pro has an extended antenna available for $50. the Doran 360 lists a internal signal booster for $150/170. It seems that the PP might be a better deal at this point.

Falconman,
Also check the similar, but different, Tire Sentry system at www.tiresentry.com I believe the extend antenna is included at no extra cost.

Thanks all for the great insights. Since introduction of the Doran 360, I've seen the first price reductions on the Pressure Pro that I think I've ever seen. I believe the extension antenna for the PP that's listed for $50 is a hard wired version that has to be wired from the display, through the coach floor and mounted under the coach. The 360 model for $150 I think is a wireless version that can just be mounted anywhere inside the rear of the coach. I believe PP offers a similar for about $99.

I love my pressure pro that i bought before Doran came out with the new one. Get one of them soon. One of the nicest things about it is checking the tires! I have a bad back and checking air pressure was always someone else's job. Now I go out and plug the 12 volt in and just wait until the pressures appear. Really gives me a feeling of security.

I leave mine plugged in all the time. All I have to do is mash the button to check the tires. Takes almost 30 seconds from start to finish if I really take my time. Sure beats fumbling with valve stem covers and air pressure gages every day.

Well I just got back from a 6 week 4200 mi trip with the new Doran 360 I purchased before leaving. Easy to install and program and the display is easy to read. It worked flawlessly, even pointing out that one of the tires was down a few pounds of pressure every few days. Probably due to one of the new metal valve stems I had installed. Each travel day the wife would scroll thru the display and check the pressures, sure beats crawling around on the dirt! On the final day of the trip 250 miles from home we got a red warning display and loud buzzer. Tire pressure was going down fast on the front passenger side TT tire. Thought I had heard something but no other indicators of trouble. Got it stopped and sure enough, the tire was history, inner sidewall blown (just FYI, it wasn't the leaky tire). No damage to the rim or trailer. Unit wasn't cheap, but I think it went a long way in paying for itself.

I've contemplated buying a tire monitoring system, so I looked up the price of the Doran 360 ten tire system at RV Upgrades. Call me cheap, but $700 seems a little steep to me.
