I think my tst 507 just paid for itself. Eastbound between Denver and Limon, an alarm sounded. Started the day at 65 psi cold in Central city, elevation 8711. Alarm sounded when the right side rear tt tire dropped to 55 psi. New tires/valve stems were 3 weeks old. Can't even see that tire in the mirror. The icing on the cake is the spare tire cover was lost in kansas during a very windy day. Just glad we made it thru Denver's morning rush before this happened.

I use a TireMinder i10 on my dump trailer. Only downside for me is having one set pressure as the baseline. It would be nice if you could set the high and low pressure you want to monitor so you can adjust the pressure within that zone without the alarm going off.

Add-on TPMS has time, to wait patiently, to pay for itself!
That screen looks like the same thing as my Elikliv unit that I got on Amazon for my motorhome in 2020. The colors, layout, and character shapes are all the same. Yes, it has a disposable Amazon "manufacturer" name, but it's been bulletproof for over five years!

I bought a basic 4 tire Tireminder setup over 2 years ago. I do a long roadtrip once a year that's over 6000 miles with my enclosed car trailer and several other trips with my travel trailer. The display is solar powered or USB powered and I have it placed upper left of windshield. There is a signal booster with alligator clips that mounts to the trailer battery and then obviously the 4 sensors. I like a few things about the setup. You can set your base tire pressure so it gives you alarms for low or high pressure from heat. It also gives you the temp of the tire which could also be a dragging brake or wheel bearing that's going out. As I don't use both trailers at the same time it's just a 5-10 minute job swapping from one trailer to the other. Trailer tires were always a concern and now I don't spend as much effort watching tires in my mirrors. For the money it was IMO a great purchase.

+1 for the TST system. I have one on a 2025 Forest River Grand Surveyor 267RBSS. The TST system works flawlessly and delivers excellent data.

I've had one on my trailer for 5 years. Used it with my 2020 truck ( PSI only) and now with myh 2023 truck ( PSI and Temp) Same equipment on trailer, just newer trucks read both
Coming out of St George Utah last March, I was almost to Cedar City and cycled thru my gauges and saw that one trailer tire was 30 psi lower than the others and 40° hotter.
Pulled over at a good safe location and changed that tire out. I knew it was getting to the end of it's life cycle, But thought it had a few more months before I needed to replace it.
It's a whole lot safer to notice the problem and choose where you want to deal with it, vs it blowing out and having to stop in a bad spot to change it.
GN horse trailer has both TPMS and Camera., I put just a TPMS set up on my Deck over flat bed.
