I've had my 12 sensor GUTA for almost a year now and it's been Flawless. The battery life on both the sensors and the head unit is insane! Range is excellent.
Izzy, I’ve had the GUTA for about 1 1/2 years. Original batteries and NO problems. We have a 30’ Class C with a tow dolly and a Nissan 2 wheel drive toad. The overall length is 50’ and we have not needed the repeater, nor have we even hooked it up. Also, their customer service is great, I spoke with Louis, (due to operator error) a few times, and he was excellent, walking me through my errors. Excellent equipment and great value… Keep Up the Great Work…
Izzy, thank you VERY much for this review. I bought the GUTA TPMS for our 3 month history trip to the east coast. Today the monitor made a "new" beeping sound. One of our tires was quickly losing pressure. We were on the interstate but thankfully not towing today. We pulled over and got it changed. Keep up the great work!!
According to government stats, the number one cause for motorhome accidents is wind followed by driver's fatigue. Tire failure is rare but 90% of tire failure accidents are preventable. Under inflation and overloading are the most common causes for failure. A TPS helps prevent under inflation failure as long as you know what the pressure should be. I won't be without a TPS.
I have this tpms on our motorhome and our trailer for our golf cart for around a year now and I love it , I was skeptical about buying it when all u see other RVER 's using are the other more expensive ones. I'm glad you like it and it doesn't break the bank. So far so good with ours. Had a little trouble understanding the setup but called the number and they walked me through it. Good support
I have the Guta, and it has been working well now for two months on my class a without the repeater. I bought after watching the"Love your Rv" channel. And now I have your confirmation that it is a good unit. Thanks for the video.
Hello MJ and Izzy! Thank you very much for your review of this product! It does look pretty simple to set up. And, that is great that most folks are happy with it! Bleh...as you know we finally got our travel trailer back in December. I've been slowly collecting a list of stuff we'd like or need to get. Ughhhh...there are tons of $300-$400 items!! hehehe. Of course, $300 is nothing when it is your safety or could prevent a $4k incident. We will just have to keep a working list and chip away at the items over time. These TPMS are definitely a high priority item! I've had many blow outs over the years; some during the day, and a few at night. Some out while solo, and even a front steering tire when passing a semi. None of those are great experiences! Safe travels and thank you for what you all do for us!
❤ Great information One real big thing I would have mentioned, the cost to repair the damage caused by a tire coming apart. It can rip out LP gas lines gray & black waste lines complete electrical systems. I have herd on other channels of people tell of tire damage costing over $3,000.00 because of all the wiring that needed to be reinstalled. 👍👍
We have had the guta for 6 months my hubby has a blow out on our trailer beeped he pulled over and had had a belt break. He didn't feel a thing he would have never known. We are surprised no one talks about the guta.
Great video, Izzy, your explanation of the setup is clear and concise, this looks like a good system for the price! I'm actually giving thought to adding an additional TPMS to our 2020 DS. While it came with a TPMS built in, initially the right front tire did not register with the system. Worse, on one trip the system went completely whacknuts, showing ALL 8 tires at 136 psi and temp at 401 degrees Fahrenheit! When we took it to Freightliner for its first service they found that an "antenna" was not working correctly, or so they said. That was fixed, however now the passenger side tag axle tire is not registering, eventually I'll have to bring it back to Freightliner again for that issue. Also, the system doesn't seem to know what the correct baseline/maximum pressures should be, as it is giving an "excess" pressure warning for the front tires when they reach 120 psi, when the normal max pressure according to the placard in the coach, is 125! I don't know if the system is programable, will have to look into that. But I'm thinking as important as tires are, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have some redundancy, but also to add a TPMS to our toad which can be read from inside the coach. Sorry for the long winded description, but thank you for a great video!
Use an 8 sensor unit with my Class C. The extra sensors are on my spare and the trailer when we take the golf cart to an extended location. Outside of that have had it for a year and the unit doesn’t have any issues. I have only charged it once the entire time and we have done around 6 to 7000 miles with it. Of course I shut it off when not in use. I light the automatic light for night driving. Right enough to see the display but not annoying or too bright. The range on the unit is crazy. I ran it for a long time without the range extender and never had an issue. My RV is 33’ and with trailer I’m at about 50’. No problem at all with that range. I only added the extender as I had it sitting around and had a place to mount it. Didn’t need it but I figured it cannot. In conclusion I cannot recommend this unit at all for the price, how well it works, battery life, and accuracy.
Great video Izzy and MJ. You answered a few of my questions I was going to ask about this TPMS. They were about if you had car would it work for a car or truck? Or your towable. That’s pretty cool they have this monitor. That monitor comes in handy. Glad you did a video on this one. Thank you both for the video.
Izzy, perfect timing. We've looking into these for our TOAD. I never really thought about how important tire monitoring is on the the coach and especially on the TOAD until I've seen some recent tragic fires. We just got our Newmar DS and are waiting to get our Wagoneer ready to tow. Roadmaster or BlueOx don't have set-up for that vehicle yet. Thank you for the review, a lot to look at. Safe travels.
Thanks. FYI - I need to replace my signal booster on my tire minder and they have been out of them for months. Everyone is having shipping/supply issues and they are nice about it but it’s frustrating. Once you have one it’s stressful to drive without it! If it takes much longer I’m going to have to replace it with one of these. If anyone is interested in selling me a tire minder signal booster let me know! They still sell new sets - so I’m curious how they have boosters available for new sales but not existing customers, if you know what I mean. 😡
What are your thoughts on the need of a TPMS for a pop-up trailer? Normally the trips will be only 100 miles or so at a time. But I’ll be driving at 1400 miles from Michigan to Idaho to pick it up from the dealer and purchase and drive it home. Do you think that facilitates needing a TPMS on a brand new direct from the dealer model? if so, is there a TPMS system that’s more suited for smaller trailers, i.e. pop-up tent, trailers
So you prefer using your tire minder over Guta you said you would keep it for a back up. What makes us want to use tire minder over Guta? BTW Guta is now $329 on Amazon for 10 monitor.. Funny how price went up 11 hours after this video
