GMC Netters,
The most recent FMCA magazine had an article on Tire Pressure Monitoring
Systems. Since I am now pulling a towd and with more and more stories of
tire failures, wheel bearing problems and dragging brake issues, I feel
like it is time to make the investment to avoid future problems and have
a bit more peace of mind.
So, I am looking for some feedback on some of the different systems available.
I have it down to 5 systems that I have looked at on the net but may change
according to the feedback I receive from this post.

RV Safety Accessories / tiretraker.com
Truck System Technologies RV507/ greatrvproducts.com
EEZTire / eezrvproducts.com
TireTech ON TP7004 / Amazon.com
Any comments or information on these would be appreciated.
thanks in advance

I have the Truck Systems TST 507 Flow Thru setup.

I did a tech seminar on TPMS at the 2013 Fall GMCMI Convention | Branson, MO rally. A write up is on the GMCMI website.
I am happy with the setup. I would not drive a GMC motorhome without TPMS.

Larry,
I remember a while back that Ken Henderson was looking into those systems as
well. I believe he was evaluating several systems to find one most suitable
for our GMCs.
I would contact him and see where that project is.

Guy,
There were so many Chinese variants out there that I decided the selection
process to find a reliable system was too burdensome. I didn't want to get
into something that was too likely to turn into a warranty headache. I
never bought even one system -- I'm still waiting for someone else to do
the selection. :-)

Larry,
I don't use tire monitor systems. Once you read it, it's too late.
I check tire pressures before each trip. ....and sometimes during
mornings when outside temps drop and can reduce tire pressure.
Get to know how your coach feels and sounds over time.
