tire pressure monitoring system

We have a 2012 georgetown 360, towing a saturn vue and are looking for your input on which brand tire monitoring system to purchase.

For the Georgetown and toad?

Either the case I like my Tire traker.

Www.tiretraker.com

Last I checked the best warranty and price.

I am pretty happy with the Tire Traker.....monitors pressure of course, temperature and rapid release...read out is easy to see, clear sound effects. I got mine at a rally in the mid $200.00s.

I am the tire minder, haha. Seriously tho, just getting ready to head north in a few weeks. When I left Maine in mid Oct last fall it was already pretty cold. Topped the tires off at 90psi. Yesterday I checked all six tires and they are now at 95psi. Guess they are self inflating tires. Naw, it was near 90 degrees when I checked them, about 50 degrees hotter than last fall. So now I wonder if I should let air out. The MH handles great at 90psi at Florida temps. Don't really think it will matter but what do I know? I'm over 70 and nobody listens to me anymore except other old farts. Know what I mean?

I got the TST system with flow through sensors. It's a pain working with the inside rear tires and being able to install the sensor and valve extensions to allow filling the tires without removing anything made them worth the extra cost.

We have a Ford Class C Sunseeker. We are at the point of getting the tst507 flow through sensors and need to know what valve stem extensions you got, are they the flexible or the straight extensions.

I'm using TST507 with flow through sensors on the coach and standard sensors on the road. Works great! Had a system by Tyre Dog - won't make that mistake again!

I put the sensors on my existing extensions with success. I also have a Sunseeker. I had to modify my rim covers a bit.

On the duals, the dealer had flex extensions and I just connected to them. In the front, I pulled the simulators off and installed without extensions, then reinstalled the simulators.

We have the TST 507 and not using the theft locks. Unit works well but installed an additional relay on top of the tongue jack just in case. I carry 4 extra batteries, also just in case.

So far I haven't needed the relay but I haven't pulled the toad yet. I buy the batteries on Amazon in a card of like 48 for really cheap! They keep well.

I've got the Tire Minder and am very happy. Plus I like the service from the factory. always willing to listen to my dumb question. I had too much pressure in my tires too when I first put the transmitters on this spring. I found out the monitor was remembering what the pressure was last fall when I took them off. I waited till it re-read them, all OK. Oh well, one of my dumber questions.
