This was my 2nd choice. Interested in your thoughts on it once it arrives.I did the same research thing and settled on the EEZ monitor. Mainly because I liked how it displayed Information. I bought the flow through sensors then read a bunch about some perceived problems with leakage and concerns with weight. So when EEZ told me the flow through was back ordered, I switched to the non flow through version. Will be here next week.
I have used TST TPMS on two of my previous coaches. They worked pretty good. But I have to agree with Red Baron. The difficulty in programing the unit, replacing the batteries, and the initial cost are some things to consider.I have owned TST Trucks TPMS for years. I started with their orignal Grey screen, and then upgraded to the color.
I always hated the new unit, and when I sold my 2019 DSDP, I sold it with the unit to give me a chance to look at something better.
The problem with TST is the cost of the sensors, the difficulty with replacing the sensor battery, and the monitor's poor display with Temperature in the most prominent position.
TST has always been reliable, and their support is great, but the cost of their system and the maintenance was what drove me to look elsewhere.
I ended up going with TireTraker TPMS. Their bundle for 12 wheels (assuming tag) is $469, and includes 1 set of spare batteries, the monitor, mount, and extender/repeater.

Compared to TST price of $903 for the same setup, and its a no brainer.
The caps of the TireTraker twist off easily, and the battery slides in. can even be done on the wheel very sikmply.
A package of 12 replacement caps, should you damage one, is $5.00.
The setup procedure was very fast, and the trailer drop feature works well.
What the TT-600 does not do is allow you to add multiple trailers easily. This is resolved by buying their $199 4 tire package, that includes monitor and repeater. I purchased one for each of my trailers, and can now easily swap the monitor for the trailer. This saved me a lot of money, and I ended up with extra monitors as a spare.
TireTraker is also a lifetime warranty: Warranty~TT-500
I will know more after long term usage, but as of now I am very happy.
My 22 will have a new tpms, but I have decided not to use it for the toad. The primary reason is my toad is a jeep wrangler, and I do the 5 tire rotation on it every 5k miles. It has large 37s and I want to get the most out of them. I considered buying the tool that let's me set the tpms, and may still do that once I have confidence in the spartan tpms antenna. From what I have read, this can be very problematic.I have used TST TPMS on two of my previous coaches. They worked pretty good. But I have to agree with Red Baron.

I have a built in TPMS with the new coach so I don't have to buy a third party TPMS any more.
