What am I missing when I am reading the descriptions? Why is it so much cheaper at Camping World and Gander Mountain?

Not at all. When the OP asked the question there was over $100 difference in the advertised price.

Apparently they were on sale at the time, the sale is now over.

Yes, CW does have some good sales from time to time. We got our JT Strongarms on sale for $184 for the full set of six arms.

When the OP asked the Flow Through one at Camping World was a bunch cheaper - apparently it was on sale. Looks like the sale is over!

X@!

LOL! they are within 50 cents of each other right now. Prices on Amazon change all the time. I just bought a Viair constant duty air system for the new TV, I paid $310 for the kit, I looked back at it yesterday it is now $376. I guess just great timing on my part.

How is that playing games?

The big ad was for the less expensive one, and they offer the other for the same price as Amazon. If anything I'd say Amazon was playing games - why didn't they show the lower cost one too?

Because when you search the one the OP was looking for it came up on CW’s website, so if you went with that you would not get what you want. It should t be down at the bottom of the page. Very misleading advertising!

He never said which one he wanted, he only asked what the difference was. :W It seems you may be assuming he wanted the solid cap design.

If he wanted the flow-through design, Camping World nailed it, while offering the other design too. Amazon only offered a higher priced version of something he didn't want.

Obviously the OP was asking so there wasn't one specific design he was looking for, so I'd say Camping World did a better job of showing options and Amazon was the one with questionable advertising.

There is a reason why he asked “what am I missing?” He’s seeing the same thing I and others are seeing.

I had the old flo thru sensors which were longer. I did not like them as they stuck out past the rim. They were slow to add air. The new ones are shorter which I like but have no experience with. 6 sensors purchased separately would cost $300 so with a color monitor and repeater that is a pretty cheap price.
Now the big question is does CW have any in stock?

On another forum a member posted that he called TST to order a 507 system. The TST person suggested that he instead check with CW as they were currently running a sale on the same system.

As for the flow thru, some have complained that it takes a long time to add just a few pounds of air thru the flow thru sensors.

I had the TST 507 flow through and had issues with them. Some wouldn't allow me to air up at all without unscrewing them anyway. Also you can't get a good read with a gauge and have to remove them for an accurate reading. For those reasons I would go with caps.

They also recommend using only metal valve stems when using the flow through type. Many reports of leaking when using rubber stems and the flow through type.
