Looking for a TPMS for Class A

[Headhunter]

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.

Did you setup your toad with tpms that works in the dash? If so, I would like to know more about the details.

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.

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.

Thanks!

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.

Thanks!

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 monitor trailer tires, the RV and the Dodge. Both use different systems.

To complicate things, I also have 2500HD Suburban that tows trailers, with no way to monitor trailers.

To keep it simple, all trailers are setup with the dodge internal tpms for use behind the dodge. I then added the TireTraker tpms to the trailers for when towed by the Suburban or RV.

By purchasing the 4 tire system for $199, I have a monitor and repeater for every trailer & toad. This was cheap and easy to manage. I can setup the tpms and label each monitor for the trailer being towed.

Added benefit is if someone borrows the trailer, it's ready to go with tpms.

Doing this with TST would have easily added $1200 cost to it.

Thanks!
