I had toyed around with the idea of cutting something down but, these are already done and I'm not that good with a sewing machine.
I also bought these TPS sensors. While they aren't as fancy as the ones with onboard displays they aren't nearly as expensive. For my purposes I think they will do quite nicely. I do a walkaround whenever I stop anyway and it's a lot more accurate than a "thump".

Garmin showed me some better ways of using my GPS.
Don Wilson the "Tech Doctor" at Xantrex is very informative. He is doing research on lithium ion. He was going to build a skoolie but Jayco gave him such a good deal on a new class A he couldn't refuse it. While I was there I met a guy that has a $1.5 mil Blue Bird motor home.

If you travel in ice and snow and ever need chains this looks like the way to go. If I were still trucking I would probably go this route.
