JMHO, no responses are needed.

Disagree...a TPMS of any kind is better than none!

1 > 0 ( One is Greater Than None ). Just bought my own. Coach in storage, all tires very low. Filled all 6 tires, feel much safer knowing I can track pressure from comfort of coach.

That's a good reference keep in mind too advertising may play a role in popularity. I would read thru the options that are not available and see if those are important to you. I like the ability to set your own parameters(customizable). Flo thru if you want that, manual backlighting, the ability to turn off the towed is nice too. I have a 37' with a towed and most should should work without a booster at that range. Also I like the feature on mine of being able to program the psi to match your tire gauge if needed, I didn't see that on the survey.

My TPMS is about 3 1/2 lbs off, vs gauge? That’s a nice feature, what brand is it?
Hopefully I’ll only have to make air adjustments once a year.

And yes, after spending 37 years with a major manufacturer, I agree 100% on value of advertising. It’s really about, you don’t know what you don’t know, that is up until you are told about what you don’t know.

The only one I know of that has a 'offset' setting is TireSafeGuard.

Please correct me if that is not the case.

Check tire pressures with a hand held gauge. Monitor CHANGES to tire pressures while underway with a TPMS.

Which TPMS to use???

The one that's ON YOUR DASH!

Gary1965 · 02-18-2018, 02:14 PM

TST

Have been happy so far.

Their system is NOT motorhome specific. It can be utilized without the towed vehicle braking system, therefore available for all RVs with up to 14 tires, with or without the braking system.

They are a hard working and dedicated group to the RV world. Give them a look during your decision making.

Thanks, bydnar, for letting us know about new player in the game.

I've had TST for about 3 years and just sent in one sensor that stopped working, this is the first problem I have encountered. Great customer service sent me a new one in about 4 days.

mikeannetta · 02-19-2018, 07:26 AM

I just purchased and installed EEZ 520. It picked up all sensors after about e minutes. So far happy with it. My tire pressure gauge/inflator is about 3 1/2 lbs different than what the sensors are? Not sure what is more accurate, but I’m not concerned. I feel safer just knowing I can track any loss of air pressure.

Sandy Swede · 02-20-2018, 12:01 PM

EezTire and TST in virtual tie for first with 82% total.

It is the Tire SafeGuard unit. It has manual backlighting on or off, cancel towed if not towing, comes with preprogrammed parameters or you can customize it, programmable psi to match your tire gauge, I found mine to only be 1psi off from my gauge but I did match it.
