I assume that you are asking if you can use the TPMS in the RV to monitor the TPMS system in your Toad. I do not know of any RV system that allows that.

I guess I wasn't too clear. But: yes, thats exactly what I'm wondering. I don't have a TPMS on my MH now but I thought that if one was available that would utilize the existing tire sensors it might be a nice addition.

You will not be that lucky. I use the TST TPMS. I pull a 2013 Jeep Wrangler that has OME TPMS. I installed the TST on the Jeep. It reports to the MH. When not towing the OME system on the Jeep works as it should. It would be nice if the maker's of the units used in the MH would take to the tow OEM systems.

OH as a side note, I am finding out there is a difference on how the Jeep system and the MH system works, far as how to adjust air pressure, how fast it updates the information and moving tire around.

Hi Gary,
There is no TPMS for the Motorhome that can read the OEM car sensors. They run on different frequencies. Most people use a TPMS and add sensors to the toad vehicle. You will need to use a repeater or signal booster to ensure good reception

That is what I think I said. Your TST system was added to the Jeep and it reports to the MH TST monitor. And the factory system reports to the Jeep. As far as the booster I have not need it for two years. Gary
