The repeater is wired into the 12v system. You could run a dedicated wire from an ignition source all the way at the front of the RV. Or you could hardware it into a constant source which is what I did. When mine is in storage the 12V system is shut down, but if you want you could install a switch in line to shut it off or just pull the fuse. The amp draw is minuscule. It wouldn't drain the battery even after a week or 2 of being left on. I just don't want to keep,it powered up when not needed.
BTW. I took my RV back tomstorage yesterday and with the repeater it kept all the sensors readin on the display, without the repeater the rear would drop out occasionally. I didn't have he car attached so I can't say how well that is, but I didn't see any issues.
I did just that ,wired in a 12 volt switch for my repeater, right next to it in my battery compartment of my fifth wheel. Plenty of 12 volt sources there to hook to. I want to turn it off when not in use. My fifth wheel is plugged in 24/7 beside my house .
As said before TST seems to be the brand to get. I have been happy with mine ,not sure what else you could ask for on a system. Mine supports more tires then I would ever have. Simple to program, easy installation etc. I noticed one not happy with their website, not sure what more there is to know about TST, but I have never been on their website, so not sure what one needs to know that they don't provide .
In a nutshell, the TST 507 monitors as many tires as you could possibly want, it has low pressure warning, high pressure warning, and high temperature warning . I don't know what else there is to want on a TMPS.
Yes, that's why I went with the TST507. They had tit best reviews and the new color monitor is a bit larger, BTW the new color monitor is compatible with the old system with the black and white monitor.
My buddy got the EEZ Tire system and it looks just like the old TST monitor but the sensors are larger. They also have good reviews.
