Well, I finally found what I’d been searching for, which was a more encompassing Tire Monitoring System that turned out to be called the Trailer WatchDog system. It monitors individual tire pressures & temperatures, as well as individual hub temperatures. 👍
Anyone have this mounted in their Artic Wolf or any camper for that matter? Salesman said it is a TPMS mount, but I can't find any that works with it. He couldn't give me any other info. He wasn't much help.
Some - *SOME* - TPMS installed on your vehicle already have brass stems for the internal sensors. Have a professional after market TPMS installer check your stems to see if you need them replaced with brass-lined stems.
what I know so far:
they are mounted to the drop center of the wheel with a band on the towed vehicle so I’m assuming it’s the same for the motorhome side

...issues.
A year or so later, traveling solo to NYC, the Towed suffered a similar fate but on a standard new rubber valve stem. Luckily the TPMS alerted me to the low Towed tire and I was able to get it repaired. Immediately changed the rubber stems for metal valve stems used on competition...
I looked into adding factory tire pressure sensors to my Wrangler. I called Freightliner (FL) today and was told I would need to go to a FL service center, I asked do they work on Jeeps and she said no, she then provided the phone number to SpartanLync Technologies customer service...
I chose the TST Truck TPMS before I took delivery of my 2017 Newmar Ventana. At that time it was the black LCD display which I really liked. I bought the repeater and mounted in the half bath for easy access to the 12V fuse panel to tap into for power. Works great with the toad in that location...
...caused the rears to always be high on pressure and temp. I raised the rear to 95 psi, temp problem went away but still had high pressure because TPMS set at 85. Recent trip to Spartan, had them reset the rear TPMS to 95 and my problems went away. When I can I will get a 4 corner weight and go...
In my experience TPMS systems are always off by about 10% off. Most systems require the vehicle/tire to be moving for 3-5 minutes before they provide an accurate read, and even then, they are usually about 10% off.
on my SUV, the OEM ones are off by 2lbs from my gauge and pump when the...
Agree with both points. My CR-V has 103k miles on it, all of which are with the TPMS sensors attached. The 2014 CR-V has a horrible OEM TPMS system so I use an after-market one all the time just so I can get accurate tire pressures.
...years I just sort out average weight, determine calculated air pressure. And 5 psi for margin and leave it alone.
During a trip I’ll monitor the TPMS for pressure and temperature from trip to trip. If the load changes drastically, visit a CAT scale and reset.
A pound here or there is just not...
Renee,
I’m about to order a new EEZ Tire setup to replace our old TST. Did you go with the flow thru sensors or the regular cap type? I wonder which to go with.
All the best,
Charlie & Ronni
Agreed - once I have the pressures are where I want them and my TPMS is reporting consistently, there is no reason to remove the sensor and use the gauge again. I only do that if something is off, or if ‘m changing pressures (which is not often). But at that point I probably am a but obsessive...
