I have the Voyager and it works well on my 40ft 5th wheel. It does wag out once in a while traveling at highway speeds. I does better after I put the antenna straight up. I also have a Ford truck, but I doubt the Ford TPMS is the problem because its operating frequency is much lower than the Voyager frequency and is not at any harmonic. I believe the problem is the ground plane for the Voyager which varies when traveling. However the signal loss is not bad enough for me to improve the ground plane which would be a little tricky. The Voyager is suppose to have it own ground plane, but it is evidently too small. Increasing the voltage to the transmitter would be another option by running a separate wire for power. Presently I have it connected to the trailer marker lights which are not LED and the power at the Transmitter is less than 11vdc. Maybe changing them to LED would be helpful as well. But the problem is not bad enough for me to hassle with.
