Your thoughts please.

I’m considering buying a tyre pressure monitoring system for my MH as I have it as standard in my car and it is a function you get used to having. The question is this a Must Have or a Nice to Have function for a MH and does anybody have any stories of how it has been of use to them or if it had been installed would have prevented any problems. Thanks in advance.

Or those no longer physically able?

Or people with physical limitations or simply those that have paid £130 a year for assistance in just such an eventuality

 Possibly but changing an offside wheel on a busy motorway is somewhat akin to chainsaw duelling from a safety point of view. 3 tons of AA van parked some metres behind does provide a degree of security.

There could be numerous reasons but I wonder why MM assumed the derogatory one?

 Derogatory? Not at all. I was just quantifying what had been said previously. If I saw someone struggling with a wheel I'd stop & help ... I've even pulled over on a motorway to offer help to a fellow caravanist to change a wheel but they declined my offer. 

Various youngsters at work that come under the title of snowflake will also call their recovery

I also pay a similar amount for 'assistance', but i'd never call them out for just a wheel change.

Me neither as long as I am still  fit enough and its not in an obviously dangerous location like a motorway hard shoulder (although I have done that in the past) I would feel ashamed of myself calling someone else to do what I am myself capable of. I ran a little "teach in" for my wife and daughter where they removed and refitted a wheel for themselves to avoid being stuck and vulnerable possibly for a long time waiting for assistance to come. Being useless at carrying out practical tasks now seems to  a "badge of pride" with some youngsters
