Does anyone have a recommendation for an aftermarket TPMS for a 2019 Alante 27 Class A? I'll be towing a Jeep TJ that will need to be monitored as well.
Thanks
 
I just bought the TireMinder system and installed it today so I can't really tell you much other than it installed very easily and from what I've read it seems to be what most people consider near top of the line. There are options from 4 to 20 wheel sensors. It's a bit pricey.
 
We have had the TST 507 6 sensor system now for 7 years. It is also expandable in case you need it for a tow vehicle or a travel trailer. Installation is very simple and straight forward. It works well. Only had one issue with a tire going flat and the system warned me in plenty of time.
 
I have a tireminder I10, I like it as I can set it up to view up to 10 tires on at a time, so I can see all 4 tires on my Truck and all 4 on the trailer on the screen at the same time, rather than having to switch screens.
Used it on a 2023 9000 mile rt to Alaska and never had a problem.
I did have all the truck and trailer valve stems changed from rubber to steel. I don't know if I really needed to, but It was worth it for my peace of mind.
 
I bought the Tuson RV internal Pressure/Temperature system. They have 2 designs, the older sensor design fastens to the wheel with a very long hose clamp, and the newer sealed ball sensor which is just dropped inside the tire.

Big advantage is that the stems don't leak, which is an issue with all the valve stem models.

I have 6 tires on the Motorhome, and 4 on the Toad. They all report to the windshield mounted control mondule.

The system includes a repeater so that the Toad modile can talk to the controller.

 
Tire minder is popular but pricey. A friend said "at some point you are paying for the name". With that I bought a "off brand". 10 sensors plus repeater, battery replaceable. Didn't need the extender/ repeater for a Precept 29v with a Chetokee toad. Less than $300 and has worked great for 2 years.
 
TST seems to be a popular choice. We use Guta and have been satisfied for 2 seasons on our MH and toad. Less expensive option.

Curious, which one?
 
I have not noticed any issues with tire balance after TPMS sensors are installed. If you haven't already you may want to add these supports to the inside rear tire valve stem extensions. Valve stem is shown with TPMS sensor removed.

I had TST system that I thought worked fine until I had a blow out on my RV and it went off 3 minutes later to warn me. For my New Alante and towed Jeep Wrangler we purchased a new Tireminder with 10 sensors and so far all seems to work well. It warned us of both high and low pressure when temps changed during mountain pass rides. So far so good.
