I'm not sure who owns the TPMS whether it's Chassis or Newmar. But it is interesting to listen to what's going on with these and their problems and limits. We may be spoiled though for those of us that have TPMS like I use TST Truck. Our cars don't allow us to set these types of limits so is it...
...weigh the coach, preferably each side of each axle, then use the higher weight of each axle for both tires on that axle. Then set your TPMS to alarm at 10 psi low to account for colder days, and 25psi high to account for warming while driving. Find your correct tire pressure after weighing in...
...sewer hose obviously
quality surge protector (Hughes is what we use and love it)
90 degree water spigot elbow
water filter
pressure gauge
black water dedicated hose for flushing black tank
TPMS if not factory equipped
x-chocks for tires
stab jacks pads
I could go on further but this is a start.
Don't have our new coach yet but I went the separate TPMS route for the toad. 99% of the time we take the / a toad however may from time to time take a trailer or potentially an alternate toad. Given the potential for alternate configurations regarding our toad a separate TPMS seemed to make the...
...them before driving because I’ve had this happen twice and if allowed to wear any more it would have caused the tire to deflated. It would probably be slow enough to allow the TPMS to alert me in time to pull over, but I really don’t want to test that. I also carry spare isolators and extensions.
Our EezTire TPMS manual suggests the high pressure alarm parameter be set 20% above the normal cold tire pressure and the low-pressure alarm parameter be set at 10% below normal cold tire pressure. I think that is pretty standard.
I’m surprised that the manual for whatever TPMS unit you are...
What are the symptoms of your TPMS issue? One or two sensors not reporting? Same ones each time? All sensors not reporting? Wrong / inaccurate data? Has all sensors ever worked correctly? Sensors on Toad? Which sensors not reporting?
I assume your sensors are in the tire and not screwed to...
We all get screwed sooner or later @Neemer . Glad you caught it in time to save the tire. Did your TPMS alert you or did you catch it with a walk-around?
Just an FYI:
I accidentally found out core removers (also used to tighten valve stem cores) are scarce right now. Why did I need one?
For some reason when I unscrewed the TPMS sender, it also unscrewed the core. Finally found a cheap one at Advance auto.
...failure. One was on a long enclosed trailer tire being towed by my Newmar and the other was on an extended tow dolly a couple years later. One had a flow through TPMS sensor and one had the button type.
My conclusion is I don't run anything but metal valve stems on any of my RV applications.
I just want to say thanks for posting this, I was unaware. The last travel trailer I happened to buy that we use now just has a single axle rather than 2 axles, so I decided to invest in one of these add on tire pressure monitors, considering we only had two tires, I wanted to make sure they...
It is a type of TPMS that allows you to connect to a schrader valve on the end of it to fill your tire without having to remove the TPMS sensor.

And like everywhere else, they raised their prices it seems. Used to be $50 I believe.
...would add an after-market system with a good reputation to verify readings from the factory system. I’ve read several discussions about factory TPMS systems reading incorrectly. If it’s not a factory system then I’d try some other brand.
But relying solely on a TPMS to confirm that your tire...
