What Tire Monitoring System to get?
There are many TPMS. What on works best for Class A Motorhome use?
Forum Discussion
I have been using the TST 507 for about 18 months. It is very reliable and I have had no problems with it. I use the repeater and even with a 42 foot coach, it reads my toad tires without problems.
The advantages in my opinion are:
I bought my system with flow-thru sensors (12) which works great. If I was going to do it again, I would stay with the flow-thru sensors for the coach, but use the smaller and lighter sensor caps for the toad.
VMSpc is working to integrate the TST system into their program.
P.S. I read a few times where people have said the flow-thru sensors are slow to fill, but personally, I have not observed this to be true. Certainly for the few times I have needed to adjust air pressures, it has not been the case.
Not sure how accurate the temperatures are, but they seem realistic. I use a hand held thermometer to check them when stopped.
The advantages in my opinion are:
- Replaceable batteries
- flow thru sensors
- senses temperature
- easily programmable limits and alarms for pressure and temperature
- Automatically disables toad tires when out of range (i.e. using toad)
- monitors sensor battery levels
- clear and easy to read display
