I'll be putting 6K miles on my 43' and towing a vehicle this summer - I'd like to install a tire pressure monitor - minimal 4 tires (tow vehicle) but could expand to 12 tires total when including the coach.

The best TPMS are TST or Truck Systems Technologies. They stand behind the products and have great customer service. I had a cheaper system that was always having sensor issues.

As far as Im concerned they're all garbage. I've had TST, Tireminder. and they work intermittently. They don't see sensors, alarm because it stopped seeing a sensor, I have the repeater and it does not help. Replaced all the batteries. Current system has 5 sensors now it will not see. JUNK as far as I'm concerned. I don't even pay attention to it any more.

My experience is the opposite of Steve's. I have had a TST system for six years and it's never once lost contact with a sensor. A key is to have a repeater near the rear of the coach, which is included with the color monitor kit.

Why in the world would you not go ahead and put sensors on your coach at the same time? A low tire blowout on one of your coach tires could be a lot more expensive than the toad. TST has kits that include enough sensors to do all of your tires.

I have had TireTraker system for probably 10 years. Works good. Have discovered problems are significantly reduced or eliminated by keeping good batteries in the sensors. I change all ten batteries (six coach, four toad) at least annually.

I have tireminder for the coach and toad. 10 sensors. Repeater is under the coach between the rear tires. Powered off the chassis batteries. It works good enough. Only time I’ve had sensor issues is when the batteries are low, or when going through a city with lots of traffic. I attribute the city issue with lots of cars and most all cars having wifi nowadays. So plenty of interference all around. If I ever replace I’ll probably go TST based on polling I’ve seen on forums. Spread my $$$ around.

I had a PressurePro system for several years, but had sensor issues with it. Replacing sensors was expensive, so I switched over to a TST 507. Have had good results with it. It came with the repeater I have mounted in the back of the motorhome. No issues with signals from all coach and toad tires.

I have the EEZTire TPMS I purchased through Amazon. Came with repeater I mounted in the battery compartment in back. Works great. Just now getting to the point I need to replace all the batteries. A year and a half isn't bad!
