Dual Tyre Pressure Equalisation and TPMS Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clarence our VW LT Campervan Conversion is the 4.6tonne model, and as such is fitted with Dual Rear Wheels (or a \u2018Dually\u2019 in general terms).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Dual Wheel System refers to a setup where there are two wheels either side, using the same Axle for all 4 wheels.  A system with 4 rear wheels using a pair of Axles is usually referred to as a Tag Axle system and is common on larger Motorhomes.<\/em>
The term \u2018Twin Wheels\u2019 is meant to mean a Dual Wheel configuration but often people use it instead of a configuration with a Tag Axle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ‘Dually’ type of setup can be awkward to keep an eye on pressures, so I bought a 6-wheel TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) for it.  However, I had problems with it as the extra weight of the sensors on the Valve extenders (needed to access the tyre valves) tended to cause the elbow extender to loosen and so loose pressure. The extender actually had loosened a couple of times even without the sensors so was a hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I searched around the internet for options and came across the Crossfire system and really liked the sound of the features.
This is the manufacturers web page on the product \u2013 Crossfire \u2013 Dual Dynamics<\/a> – and a video of how the system works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
