This weekend, got the basics of TPMS CAN transceiver integration working. Starting to work on a user interface for it. Using PSITireInflation.com parts. We also want to add the ability to pair wheel sensors to position, and manage the 4 sets of settings.
@Stuart S take a look at @redbaron's post as an FYI to see if you're buying into something you may not want to?

Part of my decision was based on my overall needs for tpms.
I have 1 Motorohome. 2 toads, and 4 trailers.
The trailers are towed by either of 3 vehicles, one of them being a 2021 Dodge Ram with factory tpms and ability to monitor trailer tires.
That means I have 2 towing vehicles that can...
I too, use a TST-507 TPMS system. And I use a digital tire gauge.
Surprisingly, they agree on all (coach & toad) but two tires, the inside duals. TST is one pound lower than the digital gauge.
Guess I am lucky that they are that close. And have had both the "TST" & digital gauge for almost 4...
I had been watching this tread to see if there really was a way to actually change the useless SoartanLync TPMS warnings.
I bought 2x 20k weight scales and do 4 corner each major trip. I do cheat and after chocking other wheels lift the cornet up on the leveling jack 3” off ground and slide...
Used EZ on the past RV. This time I am going to stick with a manual gauge and chassis supplied TPMS system.
My thought is to verify its operation with a manual gauge then use the chassis system if there is an anomaly.
Typically I check pressure each trip before heading out. Verify with on board...
Even on our 2022 SuperStar the rear inners did not have extensions.
Dealership added the rubber stabilizer and extensions ( or longer valve stems, need to verify ) so I could attach my TPMS easily. Know I’ll need to watch the rubber stabilizers but they should be the new design.
Wow. A pretty thorough list. Much better than a dealer would do. The new owner is a lucky person.
Maybe adding Jacks and leveling. I don't think I saw them listed. Do you have a wifi booster installed? TV and satallite?

FWIW (which isnt much) they have a new supplier for DEF headers. Shaw Development is apparently no longer the supplier. After 14 years of mandated crap, technology has finally caught up with the requirements so I think we’ll start seeing a lot fewer strandings due to faulty sensors.
Two things about TPMS sensors:
1. Don’t use the flo-thrus.
2. Take off the anti theft shells and the sensors will be much smaller. My Jeep has run with the sensors installed without the theft shells for 120k of towing & driving with no problem.
...how to do it or you can damage things pretty good. When I had rettrobands on my Ventana I carried a document that shows how to do it. They may have improved since I had the first generation. I have thought about getting them on my bus but I have to research first because of the tpms system.
Hello! I have a new trailer and I bought a TPMS for our upcoming long trips. I got confused when i was installing my system on what my psi warning should be? The sidewalls says 65psi cold max. Is that what i should have my tires inflated to or should i not exceed 65psi? What should i put as...
I did not set up my toad with in dash TPMS. They say you can buy extra tire sensors and you can incorporate them with your system, but I have yet to run across anybody who has done it yet. I may look into Tire Tracker for my Jeep Sahara toad instead.

My TPMS saga had a twist. July 7th when I parked at the Spartan repair facility, a “distracted” driver rear ended the RV at 40 mph. The team at Colton Truck and RV garage were awesome. The chassis damage was extensive. They finished the chassis repair two weeks ago. That was 1/3 the time the...
I don't mount my TPMS on the dash, it's low and right of the steering wheel. Initially I did and when I got the new TST color display they didn't have a good mount so I 3D printed one that velcro's to the dash near the key. Point is you don't need to be looking at your TPMS. It will alarm based...
...to be at 65F. When it isn’t that cool (or warm) this helps me understand how much variance I can expect to see. This also helps explain why TPMS systems don’t complain when the tire temp climbs 10F, if there is a corresponding temperature change.
For instance, our front steer tires have a...
