This is the site you should be browsing.....Worlds best when it comes to TPMS.
I have to take exception to the worlds best TPMS. I have a pressure pro system and have had a lot of problems with it. Six bad sensors in the first 18 months of use. If I had to do it over again based on the info I have today I would look elsewhere for a system. I might end up back with pressure pro but I would look real hard at other system.

When looking at tire pressure systems, also check out Truck System Technologies. I don't know if it is on all their RV products, but it is supposed to also monitor tire temperatures as well as pressure.

Oh yes Terry,......I forgot about the TST brand. That's another good one too.

Tire pressure monitor systems dot com are very pricey $225 for monitor and $50 each for valve stem transmitters. Makes 10 wheel system $725. Ouch! Thanks for the link.

I've used Pressure Pro when we had a 5th wheel. Had no problems with it. When it was time to replace the sensors due to non-user replaceable batteries I started to look around. The next system was the TireTraker. I cannot recommend. Great service, but the product leaves something to be desired. Had the monitor replaced, along with two tire sensors. I just don't have confidence in it.
The system I just purchased is the EEZRV product. Very simple to program and the company's tech support is excellent, if needed. I haven't had it long-term yet, so I can't comment on that part.
Might take a look, however. www.eezrvproducts.com/

I have TST. Had one sensor flake out. Called the company and they sent a replacement free of charge. I do not have any experience with any other system other than TST. It works well. I change the batteries every year. I have noticed that the sensor for pressure is off about 1-2lbs. I double checked the pressure with two different gauges. I like that it does pressure and temperature. Overall I am quite happy with the system. I think if I get a new system, I would definitely get the flow thru sensors. It is a pain to unscrew the sensor, fill with air, and screw back on.

I'm another advocate for the TST brand TPMS. Ours has performed flawlessly for the past 18 months that we have had it. I really like the fact that it also monitors temperature. When we had a brake caliper sticking, I noticed it first on the TPMS because that tire was running about 10 degrees hotter than the rest on that side of the truck. I truly believe this saved us from much bigger problems.
FYI, we have the 507 model with flow though sensors and user replaceable batteries. We tow a 35' 5th wheel with a crew cab long bed truck and do not need a signal amplifier with our set up. The sensors on the front truck wheels are too long to allow adding air with them in place so I just leave tr the cap on the sensors and remove the whole sensor to add air. I have never installed the anti theft set screws on any of the sensors and they stay in place just fine.

Oops! Installed Crossfire pressure monitors / equalizer on their rear duals made by Dual Dynamics?

I don't have the bandwidth available to view the video, but I do have a question about the Crossfire. What happens if one tire goes flat? Does the other one go flat as well, or is there some "mechanism" that prevents loss of air from the second tire? If there is a safety mechanism, how effective is it in not allowing deflation of the second tire?

Terry,
Just watched the video and there is protection against both tires going down either from a blowout or slow leak. The good tire should not lose more than 10 PSI before a valve shuts down the equalizer. Looks like a good system although I didn't check price

I just installed a set of crossfires on my motorhome will do a follow up post on how they work. If one tire loses air the balance valve shuts off so the other tire does not go flat. $54.00 each, $108.00 for a pair at Amazon.

I have Crossfires on the truck as well. Each line has its own Schrader valve before the equalizing valving so I can moniter each tire temp and pressure.

I just installed the crossfire system to our rear dualies too. Only had them on for a few days now so nothing to report. I have rear hubcaps that made the install a little difficult. I needed to modify the hubcaps to get them back on. I also got them on Amazon for $108 for the pair. They were recommended by the tech guy in the Escapees magazine.

OK. update on the crossfire system. The system made my wheels unbalanced enough to where we were talking funny in the cab at 50 mph. Took the system off and back to normal. I think most of my unbalance problem comes from the fact that I had to mount it off a lug nut. This puts the display unit and the heavy mounting bracket too far to the outside of the wheel. I have center hubcaps so I couldnt mount the unit any closer to the center of the wheel.
anyone have any experience with the Tiretech TP7004 tire monitor system.
Its a 10 wheel system for around $325.
thanks,
jim

Now to see if Amazon will take the units back!
