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

Over the years, I've had 3 flats on my tow. Each time I was saved by my TPMS except for when I first got my LA and was using chassis TPMS because I had not gotten around to installing my EEZ yet. Thank goodness for the good people of Arkansas who waved me down. I was lucky not to ruin the rim on...
Unless they have changed this year, for that $11k upcharge for Spartan, you get an older version of the DEF head that has a higher failure rate. You also get an older version of the TPMS that has problems communicating with the sensors.
I just had a rubber valve stem fail in the middle of Nowhere, Nebraska. I am pretty sure that it was caused by the TPMS sensor working the valve stem back and forth. It was on a dual, and had an extension on it.
I had the tire store install a metal stem on that rim, but I removed all of my...
On the way down to the Keys the outer tire on each side duals TPMS sensor stopped broadcasting or the Spartan computer stopped receiving a signal!!??
here is one side failed, shortly later the other outside tire failed
...chassis towards the back of the coach between the frame rails. On my 4369 there are actually two one up front and one back of the rear axles.
I still have issues with various sensors randomly dropping offline for periods of time, which is why I never installed sensors on the toad and use TST...
Looking at them now as this 1992 former ambulance has a lack of technology. But I can't see having to many things on one screen. I already have a tpms for the ambulance, one for the TT, and I want my phone to be a phone not GPS/music/backup camera.
Always use metal valve stems with TPMS. My previous MH cam with plastic valve stem extenders fir the duallies. one cracked and leaked before I even got to install the TPMS.
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.
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.
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. 👍
I recommend looking at

They seem to have good pricing and I have used their Tech support, called for Info, a couple of times with great results.
...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...
So much to learn. Back in Dec our tire sensors started malfunctioning. Bought all new and 4 more for a Jeep I had yet to purchase. Everything was installed into our 2016 King Aire and 2018 Wrangler (toad). I stupidly thought that I could just sit and program these back into my coach. Turns out...
