**UPDATE**
After getting replacement command center, charged it up and paired it with all RVi devices. I kept all charged for the days up to leaving on my first ever toad trip. The RV packed, toad hooked up and ready to roll. The tablet does not see the command center. WT???????! Not wanting to waste much time before the 6 hour drive I leave without the ability to see my $1000 brake system work. Bummed, pissed and everything else. I leave a message at RVi. Next morning I decide to fiddle again with it. Command center battery dead. I charge it up and NOW it works. I talk to tech support and Matt tells me that once in awhile after initial setup sometimes this happens. So, jeep hooked up and ready to head home after a weeks worth in the Sierras the Rvi system worked. I could monitor the system as it braked the jeep. In fact it worked great! I love it. Only issue is the tablet does not stay charged very long. But I keep it plugged in when in use. This was my first ever toad trip and it went well otherwise. Cant wait to go again.

We use a couple of tablets for GPS navigation, a bluetooth speaker for the GPS voice, the RVI Hub and the RVI tablet. There is no way we would rely on battery charges for those devices.

Relying on battery charge is at the risk of forgetting to recharge the device with all the best intentions. One of the reasons we chose a PressurePro TPMS is that the monitor is hardwired to 12 volts.

We use multiple USB Power Hubs at places in the motorhome and they all are on the Inverter which is always on.

The one thing we checked with RVI is whether the Hub and the tablet could be constantly powered and found they could. This is unlike many TPMS systems that cannot be constantly powered without cooking the battery.

Only time we had a communication problem was in the beginning. We had the Hub by the passenger seat. That worked when we parked but the Hub lost communication with the Brake Unit. Move the HUB to mid coach and no problems since.
