Adding Tireminder TM77 to my 2015 Canyon Star...

I'm looking for suggestion on where to place the signal booster included in the system. Requires full time 12 volt connection. Instructions suggest that the booster be outside the cabin. Any easy suggestions on where to place this booster?

Have you tried the system without the booster? It's my understanding that they are not always necessary. Might save yourself some trouble.

We have ours in a bedroom top cabinet. I got 12v from a near by light. I figured that was about 1/2 way from coach front to toads rear transmitters. Works fine for us.

I don't know your floor plan but I put my repeater in the back of the coach. I also have a switch on my so it is not on when the coach is parked.
Also: I do not understand the statement about it being "outside the cabin". ???
It should inside out of the elements and lose enough to the back of the coach to pick up the toad.

I also put mine at the back of the Coach and tapped onto the 12 volt wire on the 7 pin connection. This way it works only when the ignition is on.

Ours is in the battery bay with direct connect, and fused to the chassis batteries. The boosters are weather proof. After 15k miles it's still doing its job.
