Adjusting tire pressures & torquing the lug nuts everyday every stop every temperature or elevation change is not happening in my world, it's not necessary for either unless there's a problem.
Tire pressures get checked probably monthly depending on the information provided by the TPMS. The lugs get checked at the 1st nightly stop after the wheels have been removed & not again til the wheels have been removed the next time. BTW, there is a proper procedure to follow when torquing the lug nuts & it's not just give them a couple clicks with the torque wrench everyday. Never had an issue with this procedure towing 10 years fulltiming or any of the 30+ years towing prior to that. YMMV!
Also it really didn't make a difference to me whether the TPMS was reading internal tire temps, I was interested in the tire temperature. If the TPMS is reading a 100 then the tire is most likely a 100 degrees to the touch which will make an increase to the internal temperature to 100+/-, so whatever the reading, temp or pressure, was close enough for me as long as all were close to the same on either side.
