Regarding the TST system:Teacher's Pet wrote:
What I do not like about the "new" system is that you can't "shift" from front to rear unit, as on the PP, so the toad can have a TPMS when disconnected from the motorhome. "Unhooking the trailer" to eliminate it's sensors from the monitor, is given in the instructions, not the other way around.
I have the same problem, but often just move the monitor from the motorhome to the toad and use it in that manner. It will still scan for the motorhome, and not find it. After about an hour, it will alarm and I just shut off the alarm. (If you turn it on within range of the motorhome, it may see those sensors and alarm when you drive away...just wait until you drive away to turn on the monitor.)
I've also removed the motorhome from the monitor memory, and reprogrammed when preparing for the next trip. Probably only took about 2 or 3 minutes to reprogram on my last trip.
A third alternative that I have not tried but was suggested on this forum is to program the toad as the "front unit" and the motorhome as the towed vehicle....and then you can drop and later add the towed vehicle as TST allows. It does make the display less intuitive.
Either of these methods work, and you have tpms monitoring for your toad.

I have talked to the folks at TST about the operation of the booster and found the wire color codes were reversed at my power source (LED light will only come on if polarity is correct). I was able to order an additional monitor at reduced cost from them for use in the toad. Set up is, turn off the coach monitor and "scan" the sensors on the toad for the new monitor in the toad. When towing turn off the toad monitor, when disconnecting the toad turn off the coach monitor and turn on the toad monitor.
