I purchased the EEZ RV and 10 sensors. It's about the same capability as the TST but without a color screen. It works quite well, but if I ever have to replace it, I'll probably go with the TST instead. Either one is good, just make sure and get one. After having multiple blowouts on a previous SOB, I think they are a "must have".

TST507 here too!! Saved me a couple of times with the "smart" trailer behind the fifth wheel when those 8 inch tires were getting a bit worn. Helps me feel much more confident when I can see the tire pressures and temps on all of my towed wheels. (I rely on the truck to monitor the truck's tires.)

Ditto on the TST 507. It has saved me a couple of times. Wouldn't tow without it.

I have used the TST products in the past, and they are good stuff, but I am going in a different direction and going to try the TPMS that uses the InCommand system (as that's what the rig has). It uses an app on your phone, so I dont have to have another screen in the pilot seat.

I *THINK* you don't need an Incomand in your RV as it has its own App and Bluetooth repeater.

Gonna give it a whirl.

I have the first generation TST 507 with the non color screen and 12 flow thru sensors. 7 on the TV and 5 on the camper. The original flow thru sensors, like I have work great, but they have a slow flow rate. So it's slow when added air to your tires. TST came out with new flow thru sensors that have a faster flow rate. I upgraded to the color screen a few years ago. The color screen is nice but it hard to see in the sunlight. I would like to upgrade to the new flow thru sensors for faster filling but 12 sensors at $62.00 each I think not...

I'm happy with mine. It looks great at night or out of direct sunlight. I have mine mounted in a cell phone holder clipped to the a/c vent to the left of my steering wheel. Just like cell phone displays if the sun is shining through the drives side window on the color display it is unreadable. I have to block the sun with my hand to read it or move it out of the sun light..
I am happy with it and I like the option to remove the trailer tires from the display when I am not towing..

If I had to do it again I would go with the non flow thru (cap) sensors. TST now requires metal valve stem if you use the flow thru sensors. I found out the hard way. I bought my system, with the flow thru sensors, about 6 years ago. There was no mention about needing metal valve stems. So I put them on my truck with the factory rubber valve stems.
About a month later I got a flat on one of my inside rear wheels (Dually). The weight of the flow thru sensor shaking around on the rubber valve stem caused it to tear at the base of the stem where it goes into the rim. I called TST and told them what happened. Back then they only suggested that I should use metal valve stems with the flow thru's ( Now it's a requirement). So I replaced all my rubber valve stems with metal ones. It was a PITA because my truck had the polished aluminum wheels and I had to do some research and trial and error to find the right stem with the correct angle for each wheel..
Get the non flow thru's because I'm betting you have rubber valve stems on your vehicle and it's not worth the cost and hassle to change them.
