TPMS
What do you guys consider a good tire pressure monitoring system for 6 wheels that is fairly simple to install and is a unit that allows adding air without removing the system better or not? Thanks.

- I've removed the security caps from our TST sensors, so now adding air is no different than with no sensors. Just spin off the slightly larger than normal "valve caps" and get it done. Our TST systems have worked well, starting with the Model 510 system we bought in 2008 to the 507 system we currently have, with user replaceable batteries. Highly recommended...
- I have TST and it works pretty good. Periodically it will drop a sensor. I have the flow through and 2 of them don't - they need to be removed to air up. TST will replace them for free but I haven't felt like pulling them, sending back and re-programming the new ones. All in all I like it. I don't need to manually check the PSI and it offers nice peace of mind. The extra sensors for the toad are a little pricey. Do they really need to be $50 each? $200 just to monitor the toad. All in for MH and toad it's almost $600. No small investment but worth it I guess.
The sensors are a little heavy and they bend my valve extension arms due to the force from spinning. Not a big deal, and I can either blame the sensors or the flimsy valve extender arms.
I had a clearance issue on the front wheels. The flow through are too big to fit through the stock hole in the wheel covers. Being a metal working guy, I worked it out but just an FYI.
BTW do a search on here for TPMS. Lots of threads already on this topic. It comes up about once a month. - TST or TireMinder seem to get the most votes from what I've seen. I have TST flo thru on my TT and am happy with performance and customer service.
- I have the TST (Truck Systems Technology) system with the flow threw connectors on my MH and regular (non flow-threw) on my toad. Very impressed.
