Question 1

What is the best TPMS for towing a caravan in Australia?

Accepted Answer

The Flatmate Solar TPMS is engineered specifically for Australian conditions. It features a powerful RF receiver that cleanly transmits data from dual-axle caravans and heavy trailers to your dash, preventing high-speed blowouts on harsh, corrugated outback roads.

Question 2

Will the Flatmate TPMS fit my Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux, or 4WD?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Flatmate TPMS is a universal, plug-and-play system compatible with all makes and models. The heavy-duty external sensors screw directly onto standard tyre valves, making it the perfect safety upgrade for dual-cabs, 4WDs, and family SUVs.

Question 3

Are external TPMS sensors better than internal sensors?

Accepted Answer

External sensors save you hundreds of dollars in fitting costs. Unlike internal sensors that require a tyre shop to install or replace batteries, Flatmate external sensors are 100% DIY, take 5 minutes to install, and use cheap, replaceable CR1632 batteries.

Question 4

Is Flatmate TPMS an Australian company?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Flatmate is a proudly Australian-owned automotive safety brand based in Kilmore, Victoria. We test our gear for the outback and provide fast domestic shipping and local customer support.

Question 5

Does the Flatmate monitor check for tyre temperature as well as PSI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Monitoring temperature is critical for catching dragging brakes or failing wheel bearings before they cause a fire or blowout. Flatmate delivers real-time alerts for both pressure drops and dangerous temperature spikes.

Question 6

Can I buy replacement parts or extra sensors for my Flatmate kit?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If you upgrade from a 4WD to adding a tandem caravan, you can easily purchase individual replacement sensors directly from our website and sync them to your existing Flatmate solar display.
