TPMS Sensors when RV is stored
Soon it will be time to winterize up here in the Northeast and I store my 5th wheel outside in the elements. So I was wondering if I should remove my TPMS sensors from the valve stems and keep them in...

It certainly wont hurt to bring them in where's it's warm.
I keep waiting for the manufacturers of these systems to start using the same technology modern cars use and stop using batteries.
Scott, almost every car uses a lithium battery with an expected life of 7-8 years. I have a set of '06 wheels that has 1 or more sensors that have insufficient battery reserve to operate. My '07 wheels are getting new tires next spring, and I'm going to replace all the sensors.
I'm not aware of any car that's currently using "batteryless" technology.
