Put your items in the cart ahead of time Lee. The coupon will work on multiple items if all checked out at once.

Since the company is about 40 miles from my home, I talked at length with them about my sensors dropping in the rain. My system did not come with a repeater at the time I bought mine, so they suggested that I try it. Over the years, they have been great to work with when I had a sensor fail and then again when one would not program. Both these issues were taken care of by them immediately, so I wasn't surprised when they sent me the repeater for a small fee to see if it would stop the rain dropping problem. It did. I really like the TST people that I've dealt with.

That sounds more like an ongoing issue than a weaker with age issue Monty. IDK. As to the repeater, I guess I got lucky. On mine, I could turn my monitor on with the truck in the garage and it would pick up the trailer sensors almost 100 feet away on the RV pad. I do agree though, they are great guys to work with.

Same thing happens to me. With my RV in the (metal) shed 100 feet or so from the house, and my truck in the garage, it will pick up the sensors. Then, inexplicably, while driving down the road, I'll lose the spare or another tire. I just turn it off and back on and it picks everything back up in a few minutes. Strange, but not a biggie. Wonder if the place I bought mine from would send me a free repeater?

Installation error is not covered by your warranty Tom. Plus, your vendor is out of business.... LOL

Seriously though, I would call TST and see if they send you one like they did for Scott.

My sensors worked great for many years...... Last year I started losing the rearmost axle ...... I replaced all batteries...... Better, but still a problem.... I just purchased a repeater. Great system and people.

Sure, blame it on the customer! Typical! LOL.

Submitting a contact form now and see what happens. Like I said, not a biggie, but would be nice to not have to deal with it.

Rodney, how do you like the trailer TPMS in the truck? If we can swing the Grand Design next year like I'm hoping, I may spring for the Ford system at that point. Either that, or wait until I replace the tires after a year or so.

They will send me one if I send them $60. Not a free ride.

I love the Ford system. Just like the truck's built in TPMS. It just works. Did you ever get the camera going?

Yep. I had it all hooked up before our MI trip last year. I thought I was grabbing the reverse wire when I hooked it up, but instead I grabbed the running lights. That's OK though, I have the option to flip the lights on if I want to use it while driving down the road, and it doesn't cycle on and off while maneuvering back and forward. It is a bit of a nuisance when the lights are on 'auto' and it's just that time of night when the lights go on and off and the screen keeps coming and going. LOL.

Yeah, I don't think it's costing me $60 worth of inconvenience having to turn it off and back on every 100 miles.
