Tire monitor

I have one of these TST TPMS systems for my 5th wheel. It monitors pressure and temperature. At pit stops I check the hub/bearing temperature using a sensor like one of these infrared thermometer.

I spent the money upgrading to an LT tire with a much higher load rating as posted on the sidewall.
available on tire rack are 225 /70 R 15 LT tires
Goodyear Cargo G 26
Continental Vanco 2
both are rated at 2450 # weight .
I only need 4 because unlike the 1820 # rated on the ST scale originals I have so much reserve the spare has never seen the ground .
Besides , around camp I have plenty of slack time to check the psi on the tt anyway .

We have the TST 507RV system on our 5er. Very happy with it.

I have the Tire Minderclick On both Truck and fiver, a top-notch out-fit with EXELLENT customer service and I highly recommend their product! Also get the signal booster.

I have one like this.


I stopped using it because I had too many false warnings. Got tired of pulling over to check my tires, only to find nothing wrong. On one trip, the alarm went off five times in four hundred miles.

I have them on my truck tires only. They came with my 2010 truck. The tire monitor sensor for each tire works great with the truck built-in tire monitor. Was thinking of adapting something similar for the trailer tires..

I'm guessing I have something like this on the inside of my tires with a small battery included with the assy.. Must be a wireless thing...


Of course that is something I do before starting the trips and at every pit stop along the way...

If I make it automatic I wouldn't have much to do at a pit stop. I still will have to feel the wheel bearings anyway... Might as well measure the air pressure with a manual gauge..

On my truck about the only time I see anything is when it gets real cold and Lose tire pressure haha... brings up an alert on the info panel...
