So far it's worked well for 3-4 months.
This is info I gleaned from the link, if it's important to you:

"... Be aware that 62 PSI is the max Limit on this Model. They do offer a 80 PSI max Limit Model."

Just because it’s easier to do at home, I replaced the four monitor batteries in preparation for camping season.
$6 for a pack of 5 batteries.

Thanks Ed. I bought the one with a relay just in case I needed it. Hooked everything up in about 15 minutes and it works great. I'm going to disconnect the relay and see if it still works and not use it unless its needed. Probably could have saved a few dollars for a six pack of beer by not getting the relay after seeing that it works without one. Oh well.

Thanks for posting.

We'll be purchasing the 116 psi version when we get home.

Didn't find an 80 psi version, but perhaps someone will post a link to the 80 psi version so we can purchase that version when we get home.

Enjoy,

Perry

Installed the TireMinder Solar TPMS ($130). Display readable but does go dim after so many seconds but can be refreshed with a push of a button. Wasn't sure where I wanted to mount the receiver so I just plug it into a 12v outlet before driving.

I bought this one. https://www.amazon.com/Tymate-Wirele.../dp/B07HNPQ4X3. I like the simple small form factor and no mounting worries. Since our tow vehicle is also a daily driver I can unplug it and store in the glove box or trailer to be used only for camping trips. I just got it so haven't confirmed yet if it will have enough range for our 17b although at least one reviewer was using it on their travel trailer. I will know if it works by next week when we head to Oregon.

Travelled for about 4hrs today. The Tymate tpms worked perfect the whole way. Tire pressure started at 50psi cold and stabilized at 58psi during the trip.

I just bought the TST system. I put external sensors (not flow thru) on my F-150 (including flow thru on the spare tire) and on my 21C tires.

TST has a system where by you put a flow thru sensor on the spare with a tube that runs to a mount and fitting that's placed near the rear bumper. If the spare tire pressure gets low you don't have to lower the spare from under the truck to inflate it. You inflate the spare via the fitting at the rear of the truck.

Has anyone checked the balance on their Escape trailer tires after installation of the external sensors? TST says rebalance is an owner preference.

These days with so many things available to plug into a vehicles power source, I'm finding I'm frequently running short of viable outlets and ports. Kinda like being a pirate.
