Tire Pressure Monitoring System

[vpearce]

What TPMS has worked the best for our rigs? I’ve been using the Tire-Safeguard RV 6 since Nov 2015 for pressure and temperature monitoring. I now have a red warning light after replacing batteries and gaskets twice. No reply yet from manufacturer. What is the membership doing for this critical monitoring system? I also have an IR temperature reading meter for checking hubs and bearings.
I may have to acquire a better system since technology has advanced since 2015.

my in-laws won a tire linc system at a rally. it is made by Lippert, and they already had a system for their 5th wheel so they gave it to me.

I do not recommend it. software is bad, as it is an phone app. the phone app pretty much must be up and running for it to work. It is supposed to
give notifications, but once the app is closed those dont seem to work. so unless you want to dedicate your phone to your tire system monitoring
full time, it is junk.

they do make a dongle that I probably will buy, that I can wire to the dash. but that only give me Green/red indication of good bad. Will have to
launch app to see what is up. The app also is not perfect, and has to be reset, and the device has to be reset sometimes to get the sensors online.
Junk. but price was great for me!

I've been running with a system from Truck System Technologies for about 10 years now and am very satisfied. It monitors both pressure and
temperature. It uses replaceable batteries. Battery replacement about every 2 years.

I upgraded to their color display 2 years ago from a monochrome display.

I have "flow through sensors" which allow me to manually check pressure which I still do. The sensors are a tight fit in Alcoa wheels but they do
fit.

TPM is something I'd never leave home without. Some say you don't need TPM if you check your pressures every day. I don't agree with that since
problems can occur after you manually check pressure.

second the comment on the TST TPMS. Been using it for 8+ years with no problems other than aging O rings. Called TST and got the correct O rings, no
problem.

I use EezTire T515 system by EEZ RV PRODUCTS on my bus conversion. (My GMC is still in the build stage) It works great and I also use the flow
through sensors. The only issue I have had is with the passenger side tag tire. I seems to be too far away for the monitor to keep in touch with it
when I have it beside the drivers seat so I have to accasionaly put the monitor behind my seat and then it picks up the signal. Should not be a
problem in the GMC (my bus is 40 feet). I emailed about the issue and got excellent response from the company. I don't remember what I paid for it
but I figured that it was less than half the cost of a tire if I lost one. I turn it on when we start loading things up and by the time we are ready
to go it has checked all the tires. I only need to charge it about every four days of driving or so.

YMMV

Hello All,i will be putting new rubber on my Alcoa's in the spring and have considered a TPMS, but most are just a valve cap transmiitter, but I prefer an OEM in rim style with a dedicated, hardwired (not solar) dash mounted display.  Any recommendations?  Also, any preference to tire brands to replace my Michelin LTX?
