What is your high and low pressure alarms set at?

Sounds like you just need to raise your high pressure warning setting. I would not be real concerned about the 110 vs 120 reading.

TireMinders are set at 20% above tire set point. Tires are 110psi so hi goes off at 131psi. Tires will go up from there 4-6 psi.
My real problem is, where is the problem. Tire senders, Display logic or gauge. Gauge seems OK vs other gauges. Display seems OK when I take senders off RV and put on truck (reads exactly what truck display says). All 4 senders couldn’t have gone bad at the same time plus 2 new senders read the same.
Could change the tire setpoint to 115, so hi limit goes off at 138and fix the problem I suppose. But how high actually damages my Sailuns? Plus high pressure could cause wear problems and a rougher ride.

Have you confirmed the tire pressure with a separate tire gauge? I’d start there.

Yup! My first thought was bad gauge. Tried several less expensive gauges and they’re all close. I hate this kind of problem. Nothing makes sense.

What about your display is reading the wrong psi from the sensors? I had the same problem and just resolved to live with it. Initially thinking I had some kind of problem I worried, fretted and used about a half dozen different pressure gauges on the tires; all the gauges were very close to each other but the TPMS unit read about 8 lbs. low. No way to recalibrate it other than send it back in and that wasn't worth the time/effort. I just adjusted the set points knowing I was running about 8 psi higher than what the monitor showed. No issues since and no more worrying.

Gauge reads 110 at the tires. Monitor says about 120psi cold. Within 15 minutes after we pull out the Monitor shows over 131 and the “pressure alarm” goes off. All 4 tires go off in the next 5 minutes. At that point, the usefulness is “leak” , “rapid leak” and temperature alarms. Would still like to know if i should ignore the alarm, fool the set point to a higher psi or if I’m overfilling the tires.

As Danny said, you could just get used to the differential and adjust your alarms accordingly. I used to have a Tire Minder but I got tired of false alarms so switched to TST 507. Perhaps yours aren't really false alarms if they are measuring from an incorrect starting point.
They can all be a little off and it's easy to get used to once you know where it is.

I occasionally get a false reading but it's a blue tooth device so it's to be expected.
