Tpms recommendation
Can someone give me a recommendation for a good tpms? I've heard of tire minder and TST. Is one better than the other? I know the tire minder lets you replace dead batteries on the caps but that's about it. What model(s) should I look at?

I have a Tire Traker as well. Purchased in Goshen at the rally and have used it several times since, no issues at all.

I ended up getting the TST 507. Seems like a nice set up. Going to be used for the first time tomorrow. Looking forward to see how it performs.

Consider changing your valve stems to metal ones if not already.

You will be happy with your new TST system. I have had both, Tire Minder and TST. The TST system is more reliable in my opinion.

I decided to get the metal chrome covers for my valve stems. They take out the flex of the stem since they fit into the recess in the wheel where the stem is mounted. No issues in over 3k miles.

One step at a time😄
I'll be changing tires next. When I do, metal valve stems will be added.

TST TPMS 507 Flow thru for sure with metal stems. Can't beat their customer service. They will talk you thru any problem you have. Super nice folks to work with.

Are prices on this kinda stuff a lot cheaper at the shows? We will be at the Tampa Super Show next month.
Also I want to get a 10 sensor setup 6 for the Dually and 4 for the 5ver. What would the gurus consider a good price on a good system?

TST typically won't be setup at RV shows but there will be other similar companies with a booth...your best price will come through the TST website as they run specials.
Typical price for a monitor and 4-6 sensors will be $300...additional sensors are about $50/ea

Just a comment about TST, you can't beat their warranty or them being a company whose entire staff could be more intent on customer satisfaction. They are great.

Well, differ if you want, I've dealt with them well after the 2 yr warranty had expired and they still replaced the faulty sensor and gave me a great deal on the Flow Thru design sensors.
