Note: I replaced my rubber valve stems with metal stems, not sure if it was necessary, but seemed prudent.

I just ordered the E350L model. Goes up to 99 PSI.

TST 507 is what we use. Have had it since 2012 can do up to 22 tires. I used it on our motor home and now we use it on our 5th wheel. So far we have not had to change any batteries.

Extra sensors available.

Lifetime Warranty

Been running Trakersensors since 2008. Except for batteries no failures. I upgraded and bought the TT500 monitor after I "fried the TT400 because I used the wrong battery charger cord (12v instead of 5 v) My Bad.

I like the lifetime warranty

Cig lighter is fused with a 15 amp fuse. Add up total amp draw and you have your answer.

We also have an EEZ tpms system. Going into our 4th session on a 32ft class C. I works great but I wish we had gotten the flow through type. I didn't want to spend $... stupid. Lesson learned. Their customer service is exceptional.

I opted not to go with the flow through because I was concerned about how far they would stick out making it a little more vunerable to something hitting them.

Does the EEZ work on rubber stems with no problems?

The stems on my North Point are half rubber and half metal and I've had no problems at all. I think they would be fine on all rubber stems............they are very light compared to the flow through.

And the EEZ does not require a repeater, correct?

NOTE: The product you need depends on your system, such as if you have the 5-Camera BirdsEye system.

If you want to keep the video feeds for the camera's on while moving:

https://navtv.com/products/NTV-KIT899/cod-f50.html
https://navtv.com/products/NTV-KIT42...im13f-cam.html

If you want to add an aftermarket camera and view it through Sync touchscreen:

https://navtv.com/products/NTV-KIT92...tcv-ford2.html

If they do not have what you need, search video in motion for the ability to view camera while moving. You will find many aftermarket solutions. Also checkout the following:

I believe that all external sensors will work with no problems for a time. The issue is how long will they work with no problem.

Rubber valve stems can flex. Different stems will flex a different amount depending on both the weight at the end of the stem and the length and stiffness of the rubber portion of the stem. Metal boltin stems are not prone to bending even at speeds over 100 mph. That's one reason the only stems used in racing are bolt in.

The non-flow-thru are lighter than the flow thru so may cause fewer problems or take longer for the problems to develop but the extra weight can vibrate which can lead to cracks of the rubber portion of the stems as that rubber ages.

Hey guys,

I am also in the market for a tire monitor system. I just did a little homework on the tire tracker. One big difference between the TireMinder system and the TireTracker is the time between readings. TireMinder is every 6 seconds whereas TireTracker is every 10mins.

To me 10mins seems a little too long between readings.

Artsville.... NO, read the TireTraker manual.

Page 6 - Updates and alarms:

It scans each tire every 5 seconds.

Artsville · 04-17-2019, 11:51 PM

oh ok.....that's good to know. I didn't download the manual yet. Thanks for correcting me on that. I still don't know which way to go.

I recently read an article that said that the Ram trucks are coming out with a TPMS system that will display the trailer tires within the vehicle system. Trailer Life, May 2019, pg24.

Of course they are. I have the 2018 so they wanted to wait until I got mine before they came out with it!

mikegray · 04-18-2019, 08:15 AM

Could I get a few opinions of this TPMS for my Flight 2014 26BH TT?
Thanks, Mike

I don't have a repeater and I've never lost contact with any of the sensors. The key is how long is your rig, if your TV is a short bed or long bed. My North Point 315RLTS has no problems. When our Pinnacle comes in, which is longer, I'll have to see if it reads the sensors without any problems. If not then I will get a repeater.

rkymntsno · 04-18-2019, 08:42 AM

Well I pulled the trigger again, but on the EEZ tpms. Total around $300, not cheap. But it'll be here tomorrow. Didn't get the flow through sensors. I like it has a USB cable to charge and it stays charged for about three days. Also, didn't want to have to connect a repeater to the battery. Good reviews and comments from others on this forum. Thanks for that.
