Yes.
Based on past experience and many others will tell you that low air pressure, blowouts, high temp tires all ruin vacations and cost more in the long run than a TPMS. A TPMS is not a replacement for checking tires, replacing as needed and bearing maintenance.
I went with an inexpensive Chinese knockoff but others like the name brands at maybe #200 vs my 40 on amazon. After about 5,000 miles my cheapo still reporting pressure and temp OK. I do take off the TPMS each trip and use a guage to make sure it is where I want.

If you are new to RV tires the recommendation is max 5 years after date on tire. Earlier if odd wear or tread damage. Watch your speed rating as many cheapos are not rated over 65 MPH and some are less! And that's when new, not at 3 years or more.

Lots of info available for reading at search function above. Also, You can get youtubes on TPMS and general Rv tire care.
