Everyone likes what they own for obvious reasons. Type tps monitor system in the little green search box and you can read for hours.

I used to be a Pressure Pro distributor/dealer but felt that the market left them behind so I bought and used a TST 507 system till we moved to the present rig that has a SmarTire system built in.
If I needed to go to something else it would be another TST.

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!
I chose the TireTraker system for the following reasons:
1. Lifetime warranty
2. Cap-type sensors to prevent air leakage from valve stem
3. Easy programming and operation
4. User-replaceable, low-cost sensor batteries
5. Good customer support
6. At the time I bought they had the best price on a system with 10 sensors and a repeater for the back of the MH.
Keep her between the ditches!
Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

This is what we use. User replaceable batteries, affordable IMO, add sensors as needed, easy to set up, will probably need an additional booster in the back of the coach to monitor TPMS sensors on a toad if you ever tow one, but most of all it has a nice BIG monitor. As we all get older "Bigger is Better". Well I guess that applies to when you're young too in some instances. Whoops, there I go again.

I am also interested in getting a tire monitor system, but in looking at pictures of the various monitors, it looks like you only see one tire at a time. Is there any that let you see all 6 or 10 at the same time?

I have the EEZ system with 10 sensors. I have the non-flow thru monitors. I did not use the anti-theft covers which reduces the size of the sensors.
I have made 2 2000 mile trips so far with them and they have been flawless. The first trip I was constantly watching the monitor scan but, now i hardly ever look at the monitor. I now have the confidence in the system to know it will sound an alarm when a tire is out of spec.
One less thing to worry about.

I don't think so and it would be too busy to look at, one at a time is all you will need. After the newness wears off you won't look at it much because you will have parameters set up to do that for you while driving.

I hope this is on topic. What TPMS systems have the largest screens? My eyesight ain't what it used to be and I don't want to take my eyes off the road any longer than I have to.
Also, I have seen a few systems that display the axis of the motorhome vertically instead of horizontially. It seems like the vertical display would be easier to read which tire is losing pressure. Does it really matter or do you get used to it?
Thanks for any advice.
Jack

I bought the TST system with the original black and white monitor. When the color monitor came out, I upgraded. Now that I've used it on a few trips, I think I like the black and white better. The color makes for too many things going on at once.
On the black and white monitor, the tire pressure was listed on the left and the temp on the right. Since we read left to right, I liked that the first thing I read was the pressure. The temp information was secondary to what I really wanted to see. For some reason, the new color monitor is reading temp on the left and pressure on the right. It's just not as comfortable now to take a quick look at what's going on.
I doubt the temp and pressure can be swapped, but I need to call TST and see if it can.
