I have had the TireMinder for 4 years and I am very pleased with the system and with their customer support. I have monitors on the coach tires and on the toad tires. It told me about a slow leak of a rear coach tire.

X2 for TireMinder. It has worked well for us on both our Class A and tow vehicle.

I have been happy with my TST system so far. I have 6 sensors on my toy hauler. Easy to program, peace of mind with any system is worth it to me.

If you get the TST system, don't get "Flow-Through" sensors. They are heavier and can't be used on a toad with rubber valve stems.
Best to get a system where you can replace the batteries rather than sending in the sensors for new batteries.
I remove my sensors when in storage to make the batteries last longer.
Most people need a repeater for the toad to work properly.
They all seem to advertise the same accuracy +/- 1.5 PSI.
It is nice to be able to check all the tires at once when you get ready to leave on your trip
Just be sure to buy something.....
Regards,
Dan

I have been using a TST 507 for six years. It has performed very well. I have flow thru on the MH and regular sensors on my toad. I receive signals very well and did not have to use a repeater for this system. All sensors report well.

I use a tire-safeguard. I got it for the RV/toad but i have been using it at my S&B on my daily driver/toad. I keep the monitor inside my house. For the last three months it has works flawlessly. It had notified me of two low pressure tires. I checked the tires with an tire guage and the tire-safeguard was correct both times. I got the flow thru sensors for the RV and cap sensors for my toad. The flow thru are large and if you have valve extenders, they need to be well supported. I have the type of supports that attach to the lug nut. I have not had a need to call their customer support so I can't comment on that. I play with the monitor everyday and when they refinished my driveway I had to park about 70 feet get away. It was able to read the sensors without using a signal booster.

Hey guys when looking thru Amazon I saw this TPMS system with 6 sensors for a good price.
It supports tire pressure and temperature and can support 10 sensors. I ordered it and haven't installed it. It also comes with a repeater .

I'm going to install this weekend. All for 170.00

Few people will ever suggest a brand that is different than what they use. I suggest you compare features, benefits and what you feel is important.
I have a blog post on features I consider important but your list may be different.
I also suggest you buy from a vendor that is at RV shows and not just shipping out of a warehouse somewhere.

I have has tire safe guard for about two years. Works flawlessly. Flow thru on the coach non flow through for toad. Have used it with my 20 ft trailer, a jeep, a mini cooper and tow dolly and now our Edge, never an issue. Have called for support a couple of times, always helped me out immediately

In their ad is says "Real-time tire pressure/temperature and vehicle battery power monitoring(Displays pressure or temperature of 4 tires and vehicle battery power simultaneously)"
Does not match the picture which shows six tires.
Also the battery life is based on four hours a day, yet it monitors 24 hours a day every day.
What they call a repeater looks like an antenna.
Monitor Dimension: 33.5x 22.4x 10.2inch. really?
Needs a employee who has a better grasp of english.
No reviews on amazon.
But if it works it is a really good price. Please do a review and let us know.

X2 on TST very good customer service.
I have the cap style and removed the anti-theft outer cover making them much smaller, no tool needed to remove use like a valve stem cap
