Considering TPMS for my fiver
I'm thinking about buying a TPMS system for my toy hauler. I don't want to jump into it blindly though, because the systems aren't cheap and I'll have to pay a few extra bucks to have my rubber valve...

I had a TST 507 system on my travel trailer for one trip and returned it. It worked great in the driveway and on the road; until it rained when 2 of the 4 sensors failed. Checked the sensors after the first day on the road and all 4 had a lot of corrosion in the battery compartment. Cleaning out the battery compartments with WD40 and replacing the batteries (for $20) got it running for the remainder of the 1500 mile trip; but my confidence was zero. Had to duct tape one of the sensor covers back on because the machine screws they use had stripped the plastic case they go into (should be either self tapping screws or a metal insert for the machine screw). Still looking for a reliable system.
