Hi Vincent,

This is not an issue, but a request.

I have just ordered a set of sensors and was wondering if you were able to add a different variety of vehicle. I want to use these sensors on a Tandem (4 wheel) caravan), My tow car has TPMS built in so I don't need them for the car.

Thanks

Hello George and thanks for you contribution :)

Replacing the layout of the car is a feature I'm thinking about since the beginning of the creation of the app, unfortunately, it's not so easy as I would because of the wheel placement on the screen and the variety of screen sizes.

I'll keep informed if I find a solution in the next months :)

Hi Vincent

I'm also hoping you can solve the layout issues as I have 6 sensors on two axles. The rear axle has twin wheels. This, or a tag axle, are quite a frequent arrangement for motorhomes built on a light truck chassis.

Thanks

Hello @jrussell88 and thanks for your contribution

The main issue when working with trailers is how recognize the right sensor on the right wheel. For instance, when using a single axle, do you put the front right sensor on the right wheel or the rear right sensor on the right wheel ? This ambiguity must be solved directly by the user which mean that I need to add screens to handle this case, update the one which shows the wheels and update a lot of things under the hood :)
