Tire Pressure Monitoring System

[lrh]

I have a Doran Tire Pressure Monitoring system that I used on my last motorhome and I would like to use it on the Marathon.

Has anyone ever used a Doran system on their coach and if so, how did it work? Did you need the antenna extension?

I also noticed that the sensor will not fit on the outside dual. The outside dual valve stems faces into the wheel hole which is too small for the sensor. Can I just rotate this stem around to face out?

Thanks,

Looks like Doran is not the people's choice. What is everyone else using?

Thanks,

Killeen,

I have a Doran system. I do need the antenna extension. I have had my share of issues with it. I have Equal in my tires and do not have the correct valve stems, the ones with screens in them. So I ended up removing all the sensors from the bus tires due to constant false alarms. When I get new tires in the near future I wil get the correct valve stems or use Centramatic balancers. The sensors do work on my tow car just fine.

I have turned the outside dual valve stem so it is accessable for my sensors . if this is wrong someone speak up.

I think that the Doran is the same as the Pressure Pro,I have it on my coach,toad and a trailer,I would not leave home without it.I have found that the repeater is necessary for the rear tires and toad/trailer.

We have the Doran TPMS, but get fairly frequent sensor "dropouts" (losing signal to one of the sensors - not always the same one). I guess that means that I need to go back and add the repeater to strengthen the signal. Other than that, we've had no issues with the Doran system.
