Re: TST 507 REPEATER REGUIREMENT
We take reception very seriously at TST. Yes some include a repeater but this is built into the price. We at TST do not include with every kit because every application does not require a repeater. For anyone who has any questions about a repeater or there system, please call TST we are Open until midnight 7 days a week 770-889-9102. Customer Service is very important to TST, and we take these matters extremely seriously. Thanks, Mike Benson TST431Views0likes0CommentsRe: TST 507 REPEATER REGUIREMENT

Let me bounce this question off of you guys....why do you figure that OEM in-wheels TPMS sensors in vehicles don't seem to share the same problems as the on-stem sensors? Maybe the "doesn't bother to tell you about no commo between sensor and receiver" is apparently not the standard for OEM systems? Maybe the in-wheel sensor doesn't have as much problems with signal strength because half of it's antenna is the truck's common ground? This question is a good one for the HAM radio operators out there because normal folks aren't likely to understand antennas well enough. The current system is a TireMinder. I have the repeater installed. Usually the display, for no good reason, shows bad info for 2 of 4 tires. I've replaced the batts a couple times to no avail. I've now moved the sensors from the trailer to the truck. I'll reprogram them all for the different pressure points and I should be able to compare the TireMinder sensors to the truck's OEM sensors in real time. If I can't get the TireMinders to behave, I figure I'll have to try a 3rd system. I get a lot of trailer flats. It's irritating. Who was your first failed TPMS. I am curious.

Prior to this I had no idea that when I got a beep from my monitor (and I HAVE gotten them) that I had already been without a signal FOR AN HOUR. I thought, "Oh well...in five minutes it'll sync up again" and I'd hit the silence button and drive on. Ignorance is bliss, as the saying goes. I also learned something else interesting from Chuck at MinderResearch: He said that glass is one of the most difficult substances for a signal to transmit through. So, putting my booster/repeater on the dash of the tow'd and hooking it into the jump box I use for the brake wasn't the best method. He recommended that I put it mid-coach...where there just happens to be a DC outlet. I like the way the Minder people were so willing to share information with us...even though I told them up front that we own a competitor's system. I agree you would never want to put your repeater in your toad vehicle. We recommend repeater placement mid-coach inside or outside. From my experiences the TST TPMS is best on the market. We have taken many Pressure Pro's and Minders in on trade. In my opinion I would rate the Top 3 TPMS 1. TST 2. Pressure Pro 3. Minder TST is the ONLY TPMS built to last in the Commercial Truck Industry and backed by 2 OEM'S PACCAR parent company of Peterbilt and Kenworth as well as DTNA Parent company of Freightliner and Western Star TPMS Article431Views0likes0CommentsRe: TPMS gauge which ones are good

Got it installed and it works great. 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 do not know of any RV system that allows that. I guess I wasn't too clear. But: yes, thats exactly what I'm wondering. I don't have a TPMS on my MH now but I thought that if one was available that would utilize the existing tire sensors it might be a nice addition. You will not be that lucky. I use the TST TPMS. I pull a 2013 Jeep Wrangler that has OME TPMS. I installed the TST on the Jeep. It reports to the MH. When not towing the OME system on the Jeep works as it should. It would be nice if the maker's of the units used in the MH would take to the tow OEM systems. OH as a side note, I am finding out there is a difference on how the Jeep system and the MH system works, far as how to adjust air pressure, how fast it updates the information and moving tire around. Gary Hi Gary, There is no TPMS for the Motorhome that can read the OEM car sensors. They run on different frequencies. Most people use a TPMS and add sensors to the toad vehicle. You will need to use a repeater or signal booster to ensure good reception Thanks, Mike Benson TST 770-889-9102563Views0likes0CommentsRe: TPMS gauge which ones are good

About 15 months of constant use before we started getting a few low battery alerts, so with the batteries costing less than $1.00 each, I just replaced them all.
