TPMS recommendations

[carhauler7777]

Hi Mike,

I have the Tire-Safeguard system on my coach and toad.

I bought the kit with six flow-through sensors for the coach, and four cap
sensors for the toad. I have a Crossfire system on my rear duals so one
flow-through sensor takes care of each set of duals.

Some systems require you buy new sensors when the batteries die (at 40-50 bucks
a pop). Tire-Safeguard sensors have replaceable batteries, so there is no need
to buy new sensors when the batteries go dead.

Some of the other systems I looked at also recommended/required a repeater for
steel body coaches, especially if sensors were installed on the toad. My system
works just fine without a repeater.

180 degree valve stem adapters need to be installed on the tag axle wheels so
the flow-through sensors face out. This will also be an issue on duals without
a tire pressure equalizing system like my Crossfire.

Installation and programming is very simple. The sensors come numbered and
programmed for wheel position on the coach and toad.

Everything worked fine during our recent 2100 mile round trip to Portland,
Oregon and back. I verified the monitor readings with my truck air pressure
gauge and all were within one or two pounds.

It's quite interesting to see how much tire air pressure increases when the
wheels are rolling.
