Best TPMS?

I've done searches and cant really come up with a general consensus of who has the best TPMS on the market these days? This past summer I purchased an InnoTech (for RV's) tire pressure monitoring system for my '00 Suncruiser 35u mainly because I thought it was smart insurance to have. I had the system up and running with new batteries in all of the sensors and got the impression on our 1st outing that there might be a significant delay in showing differences in temp and pressure on the hand held head unit. It was definitely not real time like I had anticipated. This was confirmed by actually having an outer rear dualy blow out on the way home of this 1st trip. What are the odds, right?! Prior to the blowout everything looked normal on the monitor. No hi/low pressures, no flux in pressures, no temp differences, etc... I understand that a puncture or rupture style blowout might happen too quickly for the sensors to catch it but mine didn't start beeping at me until we had got the coach stopped, out to assess the damage, and back inside the unit. I was holding the hand held unit this entire time wondering why it was still reading good pressure and temp. The tire was off the bead when I got out of the coach so it's not like there was residual pressure that could be tricking the sensor. Anyway, sorry for the winded rant. What's everyone using and what actually works? I'm not impressed with the InnoTechRV unit I purchased.

Why would a sensor stop registering after it was removed to adjust air pressure?

We have Tyrminder - TM66 with 13 transmitters and the booster. Requires batteries every year that they provide free. I have no complaints.

If losing signal from the coach there are repeaters available.

When I had my 5er I could disconnect and drive 25 miles home and the monitor in the truck was still showing the last pressures. I found they will display for about 40 minutes after losing signal so I never new if the readings I was looking at were old or new readings. When you disconnect the sensors from the tires the alarm would sound before you get it disconnected so that part works fine.

Had TST on a 34 trailer setup and always was loosing contact with one sensor. Now using a TireTraker system without booster on a 37' MH including toad and it has not given me a single problem.

After a disaster tire trip three years ago, I purchased the TST. Couldn't be happier.

Pressure Pro here. Easy setup. Add a toad anytime. Doesn't have a flow-thru sensor, but it turns out that if you're not checking the tire pressures several times a day, the tires don't lose air ๐Ÿ™‚

Have a Tire minder system. Not happy with it. Read a couple reviews on the EZEE Tire system. The feedback for EZEE Tire was mostly favorable.

My issue with Tire Minder was the variation in pressure readings. I aired up the tires to within +- 1 psi. Attached the sensors and synced the sensors to the monitor. The monitor readout had some tires as much as 10 psi higher than the manual pressure gauge reading. Time from beginning of installation to testing was less than 30 minutes vehicles ever moved.

I'd try those searches again, in this Forum (TPMS) and zero in on the companies and model numbers that show up the most and the comments that the owners made. The only thing wrong with my Pressure Pro system is that I have to send the sensors back to get the battery replaced but I've had it for about 10 years.
