So we just traded in our problem free 2014 Cougar 28RLS in April for a 2021 Montana High Country 295RL . Came with Rainiers. Question is without getting into a China bombs debate does anyone use the W.A.S.P. TPMS ? Pros/Cons? If not the W.A.S.P. what's another reliable system that won't break the bank?
Thanks
 
We’ve had the TST system with the flow through sensors for years, and it has been extremely reliable. The systems come with the signal booster, and the sensors have replaceable batteries. Even though the WASP system claims they’ve been around for six years, I’ve never heard of them, but that alone wouldn’t be a reason to not purchase their system. I would not quibble about a slight cost difference from one to the other, just get one and use it. Not having one can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your rig, plus the loss of use for quite a bit of time, so the difference of less than $100 in cost really doesn’t matter compared to the risks.
 
11 years of full timing and well over 100,000 miles all with TST.
 
I currently have the EEZ-RV system with a black/white monitor. I added the signal booster as it didn't come with it. If I ever need to replace it, I'll go with the TST system.
I'd check price on Amazon and on TechnoRV.com. Sometimes TechnoRV has a sale and it may be cheaper, plus they offer free support and great customer service.
 
Tire Monitoring System

We use EEZ Tire with the black and white display. I just added the booster because occasionally some of the trailer tires wouldn't give me updates. Rapid loss of air pressure would still set off the alarm, so I'm hoping the booster will give me better updates.
 
I have the TST system (thanks Ron) and while it works well, the color display is really hard to see when on the dashboard. The LCD screen is very sensitive to bright light. The TST support person at the end of the phone suggested placing it down low out of the light. That sorta defeats the purpose of being able to see it directly. She said what the alarm is what you want and you will hear it even if it is not directly in front of you.

I compromised by attaching it (via the suction cup mount) to the sunroof and then closing the cover most of the way. Now the color display is visible, although at a somewhat awkward angle. Not perfect but it works for now. I am going to try a cup holder mount next even though you can never have enough cup holders.

TST-507 for us..........already saved us and many others from a doomsday. I think with the color monitor, 4 tire system, is around $360.00.
 
Carl, I had the issue with the TST until I changed the angle. I have it in the notch on my dash. When it was leaned back I couldn’t read it. Once I velcroed it to the back, it is brighter. Don’t know if that would help.
