After 15 years of trouble-free Toad towing, the right front tire on my Toad went flat and completely shredded before a passerby alerted me to the tire issue. It must have been flat for a long time as it deeply marred the outside of the fender, knocked off the plastic housing on the driver's side mirror and damaged the wheel well. I had no indication of anything wrong while driving on mostly secondary roads for about a 2-hour period. I see a few posts of TPMS for RV's but didn't note any for Toads.Any recommendations for a good quality TPMS that will alert me in the future of Toad tire issues. I will be in the Cocoa and Jacksonville Florida areas for the next week or two.Thanks

Frankly I have read good things about every system available. I went with the TST system because I looked at the site and saw the set up was super simple. Anyway I believe all the systems available will monitor the coach tires as well as toad providing you order enough sensors.

It's the same tire monitoring system as you'd have on your RV, just extra sensors to put on the Toad. Or if you only want them on the Toad, you just get the system with 4 sensors and then later, if you want to add to it for the RV, just do it.I had the same thing happen where I had a front tire on my Jeep blow and I never knew it. I went about 10 miles before a passerby flagged me. Fortunately, it did no damage, not even to the rim. I think the tow bar and the three remaining wheels were enough to keep the Jeep balanced and the rim up enough to not even have damage to that. I know the distance, because on my way back a few hours later driving the Toad (I was dropping off my motorhome for some service) I saw my "road gators" laying on the freeway. I had not heard, anything, felt anything, and nothing was visible via the camera on the back the RV looking at the Jeep. That's when I got my first TPMS.

Any one of them should be fine. They don't care what the tires are on.

Do the remote TPMS sensors work when attached to the valves on a vehicle that already has the factory TPMS system?

I have used a Tire Minder, it has worked fine for me. Went from a 38' with a toad to a 43' tag axle. Just bought two more transmitters. Easy.

The TST standard sensors weigh less than a half ounce (13 grams), and are ok on standard rubber stems. The sensors can be made even lighter by removing the outer security shell. That also makes them even less obvious to anyone walking by. There are many "decorator" metal valve caps that weigh more than the TST sensors.

I have the Tireminder TM66 with 13 valve stem sensors. 8 for the coach, and 5 on the Jeep. I can even install the sensors on my boat if towing that instead of the Jeep. There is a booster that I installed behind the engine cover in the back to assist the signal from what you are towing, and that comes standard with the TM66 I believe.

Wolfe does make a point, I bought a TM66 for my daughters 5th wheel with rubber stems, and she started loosing pressure in one of her tires. Didn't take long to figure out she only lost pressure over 50 mph so we knew it was the weight of the sensor on the stem. We changed them out for metal and all issues cured.
