TireTraker TPMS.
Have had it for 18 months and very pleased with it.
I opted for the 10 wheel version (6 for the MH, 2 for the tow dolly, 2 for the toad rear wheels or 4 for the toad if not using the tow dolly).
$437 total cost with some extra "O" rings and batteries.
No need to use a repeater or additional antenna.
Batteries are replaceable by the user.
I have the Tire Tracker on my short list.
Where did you get the 10 sensor unit with extra batteries and O-Rings for $437 total?
Thanks! - JumboJetExplorer

Last year my TST 507 system saved me from a loose valve stem while rolling down the road...... System paid for itself that day!
Same thing happened for me. My TST showed a tire with a slow leak during a 500 mile round trip. A visit to the tire shop and all was corrected.
Before last week's trip, I had a TST sensor leaking air. The tiny o-ring was mangled. I used the monitor to check the tire PSI before the trip and the right front had dropped 26 PSI.
I used one of my spare sensors. I have contacted TST for a replacement. - marc515ExplorerGreat insight guys.
So far I'm leaning towards the Tiretraker TT-500; especially since they offer a lifetime warranty
m - 2oldmanExplorer IIJust installed EEZ today. We'll see. I'm going to email the company about all the grammar and spelling problems in the manual. Sheesh.. you'd think they'd pay attention to that stuff.
- Dutch_12078Explorer IIHad a TST 510 system on our previous coach for about 5 years until the sensor batteries started failing. When I called TST to order replacements, they offered me a "could not refuse" deal on the newer 507 system with user replaceable batteries. The 507 with non-flow through sensors worked well for us on our previous 33' coach as well as on our current 34' coach until I added some new electronics that interfered with the signal from our toad rear tires. To overcome that, I added the TST repeater and have been a happy camper again ever since. The batteries cost less than $1 apiece, so I change them annually instead of waiting for them to fail.
- Mile_HighExplorerI have a Tireminder with 8 sensors and 4 on the towed vehicle that are designed for a towed vehicle (extra range?) and the booster installed right on the back engine cover. Free batteries yes, but I seem to continuously find myself replacing batteries, and now I have 1 sensor that seems to have failed. Kind of frustrating but I'll give it another go next spring with all new batteries.
Cute story, our coach already had a tireminder and the Dealer said it didn't work so I bought a new one. The old one actually did work (don't get me started on CW) so I gave it to my daughter for use on her 5th wheel. Sure enough, she started getting low pressure and blamed my Tireminder I gave her because her tires have never had an issue before. Turns out she was mostly right :) The tireminder transmitters actually caused 2 of her loose metal valve stems to leak because of centrifugal force down the road. The ultimate problem was loose valve stems so the Tireminder was actually doing its job. Tightened the stems and good ever since. - GTN_and_CatzExplorerTireTraker TPMS.

I may have not needed the repeater but got it all the same time and everything worked fine. I didn't like the small monitor of the TST but figure they all work about the same. Important thing is to have one.

Same here. Also, no repeater required.
