I have the TST 507 system with standard non-flow through sensors. The system has worked great for over 5 years now. No booster needed.
Edlanta, how do you know what the wheels are rated for ? Do you have to remove the tire to be able to tell ?

Hi Roger,

I've had a PressurePro system on previous TT and now the TST RV-507 system on our current FW.
TST RV-507 system is hands down, much, much better then the PressurePro system.
I consistently got sensor drop outs and false warnings from the PressurePro on a 29' TT.

Note: with the TST RV-507 system I did add metal valve stems, though others have indicated using the TST with regular valve stems with no problems.

I also have a repeater. I was having intermittent problems with the farthest tire sensor dropping out. Since I got the repeater, no issues.

As others have mentioned, TST has excellent customer support.

Good luck.

Ottawasteve,

My wheels have a stamp (inside) that indicates 3,580# MaxRating.

I didn't have to remove the tire, but I did had to crawl under the trailer with a flash light and look at the inside of the wheel. The flash light helped find and see the stamp clearly.

Hope this helps.

Crawl around to the back side of your tires with a flashlight and look at the rim. You will either see a weight max or max pressure or both. If you don't see this rating then it will be inside the rim meaning the tire has to be taken off, but I'll bet it will be on the rim where you can see it. Take a rag with him in case it is covered up with road gunk.

If you call Jayco support with your rv serial number they will tell you what the wheels are rated for.

After much research, including recommendations from here, and price comparisons, I just ordered a TireMinder TM55c-B, which includes 4 brass sensors, a signal booster, and the base unit.
Considerations:
  • Recommendations from forum members
  • Price - $184.99 with free shipping
  • Replaceable batteries
  • Signal booster included
Thanks to everyone who shared thoughts, experiences and suggestions!

Roger

I see it on sale for $150. But what about the TV? I would want 8 sensors minimum.

I hope it serves you well. Ours is the best money I ever spent for peace of mind while towing.

I decided to buy it direct from the mfgr. Note that the $150 price is most likely without the signal booster, which you will need for a TT. Additional sensors are not terribly expensive if you need them.

So it had enough channels to accommodate more sensors?

And you are right, had to select it with the booster and it came to $184

Sorry, it may be that this unit only monitors 5 tires. I only needed coverage for my TT, not my TV. That would be a question for the mfgr., and I didn't ask.

Roger

P.S. I checked the manual for the TM55c, and it clearly states that it monitors a max of only 5 tires. Again, not a problem for my needs.

Fairenatic,

The TST 507RV can handle up to 22 tires. You can also get flow-thru sensors with it and the sensors have replaceable batteries also like the TireMinder TM55c-B that Roger got.

The down side is that the TST 507RV is more expensive then the TireMinder TM55c-B that Roger got.

That's why I settled on the InnoTechRV system, $189 with 10 sensors, can handle up to 22, doesn't need a booster, at least with my rig & toad. Seems to work very well, gives me constant pressure and temperature.

This is the one I was looking at but I wanted to make sure I was not overspending needlessly.

Now this model sounds promising. I will dig into it. Thanks for posting.

I tried that. Jayco advised me to call the wheel manufacturer!

Right here:

TireMinder TM55c TPMS for Trailers, Trucks, Cars and SUVs - Minder Research

If you're towing a TT you need to select the w/Booster option.

I went with the TST 507 Flow Through system and it's been great. Saved me once so far with a low tire. I changed over the valve stems to metal as the rubber factory were leaking when you added the sensor. Some have success running stock stems others don't. It's different for each rim. You might loose 2-5 psi over the course of a day running with the rubber stems. If I flexed my rubber stems without the system you could hear it leaking so I went to all metal.

With my unit I do not need a repeater and it's every bit of 40ft ft from the unit to the rear most sensor. Also with the 507FT I take off the sensors when parked to save the batteries. The 510 have a 5-7 year battery that is sealed and must be replaced by TST for $20.00 each.

Mine was ordered from Plug it Right who extended the warranty to 3 years on the system.

For those of you that have the TST 507, it appears that it displays info for only one tire at a time, is that correct? If so, does it scroll through them on it's own or do you do it manually?
