Tire pressure monitors

Our Tireminder system from CW works just fine with no need for a booster. Good luck.

I use the Pressure Pro TPMS. It has alerted me to a potential problem twice. I have a 40 ft fiver and don't have any problems with signal reception.

I just finished up a 900 mile ish trip and the ole TST just sat there and worked flawlessly.

However, I don't know and could not figure out which is best. :h

If you are talking about the TST brand, which we have. I'd like to know what your low parameter settings are. If you are where it gets very cold at night you might be going below your low setting which will cause the alarm to sound.
If say the daytime temp is 70 and at night it goes down to 30/40 you could see a 10 pound difference but as it warms up the next morning, it will go back up. Same thing going down the road. Starting out cool and as tires & road heat up your tire temps will rise. We've seen as much as and 18 pound difference. Then as things cool down, it goes back down to where the cold tire pressure setting is set. Di

I put mine on yesterday ,when I went out this morning the alarm was going off, took the monitors off the wheels and checked my tire pressure and each wheel had lost up to 10 pounds of pressure, did I put them on the valve stem to tight, to loses, I put them on what I felt was firm, why did this happen??

Too tight...should not cause this......My system came with a Guage....you set the
Valve cores at....too high, you can get leaks....too low, bad readings.

Did you have an extreme temp change,in any of this??......It should not change 10 lbs, but if you put them on hot tires, and the rig sat,and had a big tempersture drop....Could cause this.
Use a soap and water solution on stems,monitors and look for bubbles....


TO Origanial poster...I have the doran pressure pro.....made in U S A.......main reason....USA Workers. Made in Cincinatti, easy turnaround,for warrenty, repairs....had for about 6...7 years, on my second set of valve monitors...

.
VERY HAPPY saved my tires..... rig year ago.....

No one can really tell you the BEST, just what works for them. For us, its the TST 510-RV system. After years of "going to get one", we had a blowout that caused damage. Ended up getting the TST system and put sensors on the fiver and the TV - the peace of mind is WELL worth the money spent. Very happy with it - and even use it w/ out the trailer when taking long trips. Haven't had a problem that required warranty or support, so can't say good or bad there.

We've been using our TST 510 for over 4 years and wouldn't be without it. Saved us big time when a brake caliper stuck and it alerted us to sky high temps. This alert allowed us to save the rotor, tire and potential 5th wheel damage. Having the system monitor the PSI as well as temp is what made us purchase in the 1st place. We have a 38' Carriage and tow with a 2014 Dodge Ram dually and we do not need a repeater,even with our beloved 1996 Dodge Ram 3500. I did have to move my monitor to another spot because of all the electronics in our new truck but that was a simple fix. Di

I am going to purchase a tpms very soon. What is the best brand in durability and has replaceable batteries. I tow a Montana 3475 and hope not to have to purchase a signal booster. Any advice is appreciated.

I have the TST 507RV flow-thru valve system. It works for me. Others recommended it and I have no regrets. I pull a 37' Montana with a 8' bed dually and don't need the booster. Not cheap, but any monitoring system will give you peace of mind. Glad I did it.
