Looking at purchasing a tire pressure monitoring system for our travel trailer. Any suggestions regarding manufacturers and models would be appreciated. Leaning toward the Tymate brand but would appreciate suggestions. Thank you.

I liked the idea of the flow-through valves where you don't have to remove the monitors to add air. However, you'll need to have metal valve stems to use that model. On the trip, it cycled through each tire showing pressure and temperature. Seemed to work well.

I could use some ideas from the group on the best way to install the signal repeater. It looks like it could get attached on or near the battery box. But, it would be nice to have a shutoff to prevent draining the battery. How did you install it?


I made a small bracket that contained both the repeater and a automotive type toggle switch. The bracket slides onto the propane bottle hold down, so when park I remove the propane bottle cover, turn toggle switch and propane valve off.

I have the tireminder, reason was it supports multiple trailer combo's and I have two trailers I pull and it's easy to switch between the two with the system.

Otherwise, tireminder, TST are both very good systems.

There was a great youtube video with a detailed comparison between TST and Tireminder. My vote is the TST 507.

I had a 507 with repeater that went kaput after about 2 years. Tires would slowly drop out one after another. This happened on a long trip and there was only a Glamping World nearby, so I ended up with the TireMinder Trailer TPMS. Four years and works great. Never did figure what was wrong with the 507. Really like the solar part.

I mounted my repeater in a storage compartment and wired it to the lamp. The lamp switch was replaced with a center off switch that turns on the repeater one way and the lamp the other way.

Mine is installed on the rear wall of my last storage compartment (class A). I just remove the fuse when itโ€™s not in use.

Didn't read all the responses but I would suggest staying away from the sensors that are built into the tires because, at one time, not every tire shop could or would deal with the sensors when they repaired a tire. That may have changed but we have the kind where the sensor is installed on the metal valves so don't have the problem

Another TST vote. Bought system for MH and toad and works flawlessly. I had operator question about compatibility between the 2 valve sensors and called them. "Leave a message.."and **** if a very nice guy didn't call me back in 10 minutes and tell me to call anytime.
BTW, never needed booster. Picks up toad sensors everytime.

Another vote for the TST 507 had mine for several years and its caught a few leaks which may have saved me a more serious problem.

I like the TST system. Have it for my MH and toad. Works great and doesnโ€™t drop out when you use the repeater (which is necessary).
