I have TireMinder A1A. It has saved me once when I was alerted to a slow leak. Without it my tire would have went flat and most likely blew. Have seen too many blowouts on trailers.

TST 507 for me too. Managed to get by with no repeater but once in a while a rear sensor stops sending (out of range I guess). Happens maybe once every 10 days for a few hours. Probably needs new batteries - which, by the way, is a little tricky. Very tiny o-rings and easy to lose.
Saved me once when a large nail/bolt went in tire. Pressure went from 80 to 40 in 30 seconds (as I passed an interstate exit!). Pulled off the road (by about 12 inches) and it was at 20 psi. Set up my roadside reflectors and when got back to trailer, the rim was resting on the ground!

Tiretracker TT-600 10-wheel tire monitoring system with TT-200 signal booster for all 10 tires. Works very well.

I have the EEZTire TPMS which monitors both pressure and temperature. I have all 5 tires on the tow vehicle (including spare) and all 5 tires on the 5er. Works well.

We use the TST 507. Have save us from disaster a few times. Have sensors on Ll wheels of dually and all on the 5th wheel. Put one on the air hitch, that was funny. Every pull or coast the pressure changes and the alarm would go off. End of block, it came off. The folks at TST are very good to work with also.

TST 507 here, first time using it saved me from a disaster. Noticed that the right rear tire would lose about 1lb every 15 minutes, and as it lost air the temperature of the tire would increase. Luckily we made it to our next destination without too much loss or too hot. Found a nail in the tire to close to the sidewall to be repaired safely. Installed the spare and had a new tire shipped to Walmart where we were, they mounted it and I installed it and off we went. I'll never travel without them

I like the stories of hazards averted. Sounds like many have been saved much by these handy items. My question about these manufacturers is how easy are they to install? TIA

Mine were as simple as removing the caps from the tire valve and screwing on the sensors. Turn on the monitor and it will sync up in a few minutes. All wireless.

Just replace the caps with the TPMS ones. Mine also has a booster which put right under battery compartment and it has clips to the batteries, that way you can shut it off easily. Took a total of 30 minutes.

To expand what others have said to install the Tiretracker TPMS:
1. Install battery in each tire sensor
2. Turn monitor on and it will show the tire layout
3. Press and hold the monitor's left/right buttons simultaneously to enter program mode
4. The monitor will highlight the first tire sensor to be programmed (each sensor is programmed one at a time and tire specific)
5. install the first sensor on the valve stem and wait until the light at the top of the monitor turns from RED to GREEN (now programmed)
6. Then advance the monitor to the next tire to be programmed and repeat until all tires sensors are programmed
7. Press and hold the monitor's left/right buttons simultaneously to exit program mode and enter monitor mode
8. Install booster as indicated above by clipping to the battery +/- terminals (I disconnect when the trailer is stored to avoid battery drawdown)
9. Takes about 30 minutes for all 10 tires on my truck and trailer.
Please do not make the mistake I made of installing ALL the tire sensors prior to programming since each sensor needs to be installed as prompted by the monitor. I had remove all the tire sensors then start over. Should have read the manual first.
