I have installed a 12vdc computer, RVputer, in our MH and am adding new functions to it. One function I would like to add is a TPMS system but I have been unable to find a system that uses a USB receiver. I don't want a new control head on the dash. Anyone know of such a system?

I don't think Silverleaf does tire pressure monitors. Only engine/transmission monitors.

Silverleaf now supports Pressure Pro. I not sure if their VMSPC supports hardware other than their own. I am running Centrafuse as a touch screen front end and it already has modules for engine monitors and TPMS. I have downloaded VMSPC and will be playing with it in on my computer

It's my understanding that their hardware units will accept inputs from other devices (like the Pressure Pro), but their software product (VMSPC) only displays data from their interface to the engine computer. But I could be wrong - looking forward to your report.
