wonder what that related to in a fifth wheel. I was thinking under fifth wheel pin box. and I will see but I think there is power off the electrical line that attaches to the truck the charging line. thanks again. I has a flat last year and do not want that to be an option.

I tapped off of the 12V AUX line for my trailer lights. You could tap off of the charging line at either at the connector or pin box. If I remember correctly, it only draws ~40ma, with a surge to ~65ma every 10-20 seconds. I double sided taped it up on the MH frame rails.

I mounted mine in the ceiling above the tube light fixture in the back bedroom and tied into the wires there. My 510 repeater worked there for 5 years and just recently I changed out to the 507 repeater since they are not compatable with the other sensors. No problems.

I wanted to pass on my thanks for such great customer service. I purchased the 507 systems, repeater & 12 sensors (8 flow-throughs & 4 regular) at the Good Sam Rally last year in Louisville (June 2012). When I returned early from my winter trip this year, I noticed one of my flow-through sensors was cracked. I emailed the company & received an immediate response to return the sensor & they would replace it under warranty. I was also informed that some early production flow-through sensors were cracking and they would inspect my returned sensor to see if mine was manufactured during the time period. I received a telephone call and was told that my sensor did fall within the time period and if I would return my remaining 7 sensors they would send me new ones. Within days I received 8 new flow-through sensors. I also ordered 4 more flow-through sensors to replace the 4 regular that I purchased originally. I really like the flow-through sensors as they make it so easy to add air or check tire pressure with a gauge. It's so nice to see good customer service.

I had a 1 year old sensor quit on me, probably the battery. They sent me a new one right away. Had me send the old one to them. Great service!

!Needed to replace the batteries in my 507. When I opened the case, the seal was completely gone. I called TST to order some more fully expecting to pay for the parts and the shipping. Surprise! They happily shipped me a full set (10) seals for my 507 sensors. Awesome customer service!

They sent me new seals and stem gaskets when I couldn't find the ones that came with my 507 system. I'm pretty well organize, but can't, for the life of me, remember where I put them. I hate when that happens.

I could just-as-easily have written this.
It exactly describes my experiences. Their customer service is almost incomparable.
I love my -507 system, and would not want to do without the peace-of-mind it offers!

I picked the 507 because of the size of the monitor. It Velcro'd® nicely on the ledge in front of my speedo(speedometer).

I just installed my new 507 system, I finally got all the programming worked out (or so I think). As the system scrolls through each tire is it supposed to provide a read-out at each five-second interval for each tire? My system seems to skip a tire...I reboot the monitor (turn it off then back on) and it will then pick up the missing tire but not provide a read-out for another tire.
If that wasn't a confusing enough explanation...the system reads tires randomly and not in sequence...is this the way it is suppose to operate?

Each sensors xmits the pressure/temp info on it’s own schedule as long as it is on the tire valve (even when the monitor is off).
If you remove the sensor from the tire it stops xmitting (to save on the battery if not in use for a long time).
When you turn the monitor on, just leave it alone and all sensors should be reporting within about 5 min.
So, if one happens to transmit 30 sec after you power on the monitor, that tire’s reading will show up on the next scan cycle.
