Tire Pressure Monitor

We are looking at Tire Pressure Monitors. What ones are the best?

I have posted several times about my original pressure pro issues and then the 360rv system. Customer service has been good but there comes a point where I don't give a $%#$% about customer service if I have to keep using customer service to get my product working. Considering how little I actually use the product it is ridiculous how many issues I have had. I bought my 360 rv system in April of last year. We are right about the 2 year mark and one of my sensors just doesn't work. I assume it is a bad battery even after only 2 years.

I reset my receiver and reprogrammed every sensor and even moved this rear tire sensor to the front tires and still have a lost signal on my receiver. I either have a bad sensor or bad battery; either of which requires replacing the $50 sensor and paying shipping. I am really fed up with the system. I like it when it works right but hate it when I am spending money on it. I only got the upgraded 360 rv system because I was tired of the batteries shorting out in the original sensors and causing them to literally melt.

I emailed Debbie at Doran yesterday and again today. I need my bad sensor replaced for my trip this Friday. I don't a sensor being shipped to me anytime soon.

So I have driven my rv about 6000 miles since 2006 and have purchased TWO 6 tire monitoring systems. I am about to purchase my third just to get replaceable batteries that I can do myself. You do the math if I have to replace all 6 sensors at a cost of over $300 every few years. I am way the hell better off just buying a system that I can replace the batteries in and pay only about $20 every few years.

Doran by far. RV's , trucks and buses for a long time.

For the money I found that the TST system was really worth the costs. You can look Hereand compare the systems they sell. The service they provide to me has been outstanding.

Another vote here for the TST system.

Another vote for TireTraker. Batteries in sensors can be easily replaced. Easy to program. Only negative thing I've found is that the monitor does not read the same pressure as my trucker's tire gauge, but it really doesn't matter because its the change that's important!

X2 All it took for me to finally break out my wallet and buy the Tire Trakker was one blowout alongside Interstate 10. Lots of fun laying under the TT changing the tire while traffic wizzes by at 75 just a couple of yards away. :S

Try searching this Forum for `tpms' or `pressure pro' etc. This topic has been discussed at length.

I have the TST and it works well. I believe the newer ones have a replaceable battery.

We have the Tire Minder system on the MH and toad. Very happy with the product and get good signals from the toad without a booster.

We have the Truck System Technology system. (TST) We like it, but we've had to send the monitors back numerous times. They have usually replaced them at no charge, but it's a pain. The newer ones have user replaceable batteries and that's what I'd get the next time.

I have been happy with my TST, I think it is the 507.
