Tire Pressure and Temperature Variation
Just installed the TST TPMS system on our Canyon Star. Took the MH over to the gas station for topping off, and returned to the storage building, about 2 miles round trip. The tire pressures came up...

That sounds pretty normal...of course if this is your first TPMS, then you will be uber-cautious about it. When I first installed mine, after having 2 blowouts a month apart from each other, I spent more time watching the pressures and temps than driving...not really, but it seemed that way. I finally learned that I'm looking for large variations and for them to happen rapidly. 20-30psi increase in pressure and a 25 degree temp increase is pretty normal. Now, if the pressure DROPS suddenly and/or the temp shoots up as fast, you have a problem and need to pull over to check it out. With a TPMS, you are looking for indications that something is wrong based on normal readings. And to get those normal readings, you'll have to drive it around and pay attention to the TPMS.
