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.

We absolutely use the TPMS in the toad when not in the motorhome. Check the car before driving and enjoy the peace of mind of knowing it a problem occurs. Drove the toad from TX to AZ to buy "new to us" coach monitoring toad only-- installed sensors on new coach and drove home monitoring all 10 tires.

Probably as important in the toad at 80 MPH (speed limit on I-10 across W Texas) as in the coach coming back.

We have had our 10 unit PP system since 2006. Not many other brand to chose from at the time. We take store them when not in use as we think that lengthens the battery life. Can not prove that. We did notice this last trip we were dropping sensor readings for a short time period more frequently than in the past. The battery icon on the monitor that indicates a low battery charge has never come on. We do use a repeater located in the rear of the MH.

TPMS and this is the reason we use TPMS. We did this and we never felt a thing until we stopped to refuel. We were fortunate in that we did not ruin a the rim.

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.
