I've been looking at the newer TPMS systems The TST 507 system, the Tire Tracker/Tire Minder/Hawkshead (same manufacturer) and the 508 system from eez rv products all seem to do the same basic pressure/temp reporting. Most owners report that these units work well. I would like to be able to have a monitor that will work for the motorhome and toad while towing, and then be able to move the monitor into the toad when driving the toad without having to do a lot of reprogramming. Do any of the units mentioned above allow this use of the monitor in the toad without reprogramming?ThanksFred

I'm not aware of any TPMS that allows dropping the RV readings leaving only the toad to display. The TST at least, can do the reverse though, by dropping the toad readings when the toad is not brought along. In my previous toad, I installed a second TST monitor that was only programmed with the toad sensors, and just kept it in the toad. My current toad has the factory installed TPMS, so I have no need for the second display now.

Not on you list but pressure pro will operate as you describe.fcooper wrote:I've been looking at the newer TPMS systems The TST 507 system, the Tire Tracker/Tire Minder/Hawkshead (same manufacturer) and the 508 system from eez rv products all seem to do the same basic pressure/temp reporting.

Yes, Pressure Pro will operate that way. You can also easily move the control head from one vehicle to another with a second power source.

My TireTraker works in the towed only. Put monitor in towed and go, it only reads sensors in range. MH shows but no alarms only a NoS for no sensor. Once back in range it picks up the MH sensors. Same thing if you just take the MH.

Since all vehicles weighing less than 10,000 pounds sold in the US since 2007 have to have TPMS systems, for many people this isn't a big deal since their toad already has a built-in system. However, since my TST system functions fine in my MH when the toad is not around, there is no reason why I couldn't put the control module in the toad. It would ignore the "missing" RV tires the same way it ignores the ones in the toad when it isn't around.

TPMS-which works for mh & toad, then toad only?
