I just looked at the EEZRV system & the TST system on Amazon. I know you said they are a knock off to your system. But many parts look 100% identical in the pictures (the sensors for example). Does the same company actually make both systems under two different brand names?

Yes I am the one who has the EEZRV TPMS system and after my first trip using them they worked just fine. I got this particular system on advise of a friend who has had them with great success so I got them as well. I knew nothing about the other brands so have no way of comparing them. The only other vehicles I have TPMS on is my BMW and my wife's Cadillac. Her system is a pain in the A**.

I spoke to Mike Benson on the phone. I'm not looking at EEZRV. That was w3ozwizard. I didn't have the TST system installed on the toad. Didn't even know that I could at the time. Not surprising that it didn't notify me since it wasn't there. However, under the circumstances of having to unhook the toad, back it out of the way, then turn the RV around in a residential dead end street and back up to the toad to hook up again, instead of driving the toad up to the back of the RV like I always do (I was in a hurry), I think we can write this one off to operator error, not the (non-existent) TST equipment. I will be adding a repeater for the Jeep Toad.

Jim,
You were not notified about the flat on your Jeep tire because you probably did not have a repeater. I see you are trying the EEZRV System now, Hopefully you got a repeater or you will have the same problem. I am very familiar with EEZRV as they are a knock off to TST.
I would still like to speak with you regarding the your experience. I am available until midnight 7 days a week until midnight @ 770-889-9102
Thanks,

I had a Pressure Pro for about 7 years.

When the batteries in my Pressure Pro gave out after 7 years I decided to try the TST system as I could get one for only a few more dollars than having the batteries replaced in the Pressure Pro.

Both systems work well.

I have noticed tow differences in the two systems.

1. Without an antenna extension or repeater the Pressure Pro has a longer range. Both will require an extension antenna or repeater if you want to monitor a utility trailer being towed behind a 5th wheel as I do.

2. On loss of signal it takes the TST system about 1 hour before it will notify you of the loss of signal. The Pressure Pro will notify you in about 15 minutes.

If I could go back a year I would have replaced the batteries and kept the Pressure Pro.

We have the TST system, very pleased with it. Make sure you have good valve stems, particularly the inside duals.

I looked at the EEZTire system and it looks pretty good. Going to get one when I get the class C this year. Here is a link to the system on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/EEZTire-Tire-Pressure-Monitoring-System/dp/B009BFMUHQ/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A28WQR855NU1UB

After 7 years, I have yet to have one stolen. Since Pressure Pro sensors do not have replaceable batteries, it would be kinda silly to steal one. The thief would have no way of knowing how old it is and no one would buy a used one.

Personally, I just don't think thievery is that rampant among rv'ers....we actually kinda look out for each other.

on the tst system, the standard sensors require a special wrench to install/remove. The 507 flow thru's have a very small allen set screw which is somewhat difficult to remove. Not impossible but without the small allen wrench, very difficult

[w3ozwizard]

How do you keep people from taking them? Any security devices?
