How reliable are they? Just looked at one that was priced for $500 which includes the toad. Thank you. Ron Stevens 38 ft.

It has worked OK for the 10,000 miles we've used it. Occasionally we lose the signal from one of the rear or toad tires, but it eventually returns. It's certainly more convenient than having to check tire pressure before each day's travel and provides the added safety of giving real-time tire pressure readings. To extend the battery life of the stem mounted sensors I take them off after each trip and putting them back on at the start of the next trip is a bit of a hassle, but not too bad.

Now it can be integrated with your VMSpc also so you can monitor tire pressures on the same screen. Takes a new interface though. I need to buy one I guess since I always have the VMSpc on, but not the Pressure Pro.

I do take the sensors off of the toad when I'm not towing and will be in a location for a week or more. I remove them not to save batteries but because they stick out slightly from the wheel and I don't want to run the risk of curbing the tire and damaging them. Trying to save the battery doesn't mean that much to me. They are supposed to have a 5 year battery life and I figure there will be new technology in 5 years that will make me want to upgrade. I will add that my monitor can pick up my toad sensors from more than 100 feet if I'm sitting still even with the 2 inch antenna that came installed on the monitor. Never a problem receiving the signal from the toad sensors while towing.

Around 500 bucks. They work great. I remove them from the toad when the coach goes back in storage as I don't like to overstress the valve stems. I leave them on the coach. Sure makes checking the tires easier. Mine is a 41' coach and I do not need the repeater.....Dennis Dennis and Debi Monaco Dynasty Baron 40PFD Towing a Chevy HHR W/ ReadyBrute rvjer • View posts back home in Ca. for a while Senior Member Joined: 10/05/2003 View Profile Posted: 11/02/09 07:38pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Another vote for the TST system. Have had it for about 18 months now and it works great. Since I have a Workhorse chassis I'm concerned about the known brake problem so having the temp readout is a big plus for me.

Same here. Just get some TPMS and you will never go back to the a manual TPMS. Computers and radios are GREAT.
