I am pleased to endorse this product I feel the incident that happened to me could have been so much worse and yet all ended up perfectly safe. The cost of the TyrePal paying for itself in both monetary terms and safety terms due to this one incident.

I am a retired traffic police office and I am only too well aware of the problems that can be caused by unexpected blown outs on trailers. On the car one usually feels the problem pretty quickly, on a trailer the first indication can be far too late to prevent damage and in worst case scenario accident.

I was travelling along the M2 in lane 1 at 60 mph in light traffic operating cruise control. I was one hour from home having completed a European tour of over 1700 miles towing my 3 year old Sterling Elite Diamond caravan behind my Mitsubishi Outlander. Both vehicles are meticulously maintained and in perfect working order. In April this year I purchased my TyrePal and use it both solo and when coupled up with the caravan. I know of no-one else in my circle who has one, but I felt as a safety feature it was something I should invest in. Other than a few minor battery connection niggles the TyrePal has worked all the time since purchase. My Caravan tyres were in apparent good condition, loads of tread and about three years old, maybe 8-10,000 miles of use. They operate at 62psi when cold. When using TyrePal you soon realise the pressure increases quite some margin as the tyres heat up.

On the day in question I had already driven 200 miles to Dunkerque to get the ferry home. From Dover I have another 90 miles to go. Until then my tyre pressures were correct and suddenly I received an audible warning from the TyrePal. I had felt no problem at all. Looking at the display the pressure had dropped on the caravans offside tyre to below 50 psi. A few seconds later the audible warning went off again and now pressure was in the 40’s. I pulled onto the hard shoulder and within 30 seconds the tyre was completely flat. I managed to get a jack under the chassis to stop the motor mover coming in contact with the road and set about changing the wheel.

When I changed the wheel I expected to find a big tear or nail or something similar but could find absolutely nothing. When re-inflated I found the tyre had received some damage to the area immediately between the tread and side wall right on the corner shoulder and air was escaping really fast although there was no sign of what had caused the damage. I certainly don’t recall hitting or running over anything.

So the day was saved, the tyre has been binned a new one is on order. My wife, always sceptical when I buy ‘gadgets’, was really impressed, but not half as impressed as me. I really believe the kit saved the day; other than a new tyre I have no damage at all. Well done TyrePal, can any caravaner afford not to have one?

Please feel free to use my endorsement in any of your sales literature although I would be grateful if you omit my full name.

I took no photos – nothing to see!

Should you require any other info please feel free to ask.

Thanks TyrePal you are certainly my pal and I shall never tow without you!
