I am thinking about a tire pressure monitoring system for my coach and toad. I've done some research, reading the other posts, looking at vendor websites, etc.
Which is the better of the two TPMS;
TST 507 TPMS with FLOW THRU Sensors (12) and Repeater
PressurePro 16 Wheel TPMS Monitor
Or is there another one TPMS better than these two?
I have used the TST system for 3 years with only one wheel sensor failure and it was promptly replaced. I have never had a loss of signal. I went with the commercial truck sensors without replaceable batteries and without flow through. I'm not a fan of flow through sensors on 365s. The valve stem sticks too far out. This would be the case regardless of manufacturer.
Pressure Pro... The 16 wheel Legacy Monitor and Repeater is being phased out. The choice is the FX or Pulse. Go to my website and look at the Pressure Pro and if I can help you, give me a shout.

As part of the contract, Marathon had agreed to put TPMS on the new to me coach I’ll pick up later this week if the hurricane stays off coast. However, the service advisor told me they were quite unreliable (or prone to fail) so I decided not to have them do it.
Gil_J,
Which commercial truck sensors without replaceable batteries and without flow through did you go with? Does it work with your toad? Our Cadillac SRX has it own tire monitors but will the commercial truck sensors has its own tire monitors for the SRX or will it work with the Cadillac SRX monitors? We did not have any monitor on our coach and toad on our way back to Dallas from the West Palm Beach Rally. We had a blow out our Honda. Have you heard any newer/updated 2019 TPMS for a coach and a toad? I would like to have a TPMS that will work with both the coach and the toad.
Thank you
Bill,
These are sensors I use and they will work with what you tow.

You'll want to install the repeater close to the rear of the coach. The back wall against the rear cap is ideal.
I've never seen anyone use the factory TPMS that comes with many newer vehicles. Even if you could access them, which I don't think you can, they would not be powered when towed.
I really like the system Prevost uses now. Unfortunately, it's not available aftermarket.

You installed your 507 TPMS with the caps and the tires had the correct tire pressure in them. What is your method/schedule to recheck your tire pressure with a gauge?
Thank you
I seldom need to top off the air more than twice a year. That's not too inconvenient.
I've been using PressurePro systems for over 10 years on three different coaches.
Correctly installed, they are very reliable.
One nice thing is that it can be integrated into the Crestron system, resulting in a great display and alarm functions.

Gil, I don't understand the "without replaceable batteries" . Every ad / listing I see for TST 507 says replaceable batteries. And in Amazon user questions, they reiterate over and over the batteries are user replaceable. Is there an advantage to non-replaceable?Quote:
