Open Roads Forum  >  Fifth-Wheels  > mounting the tireminder booster under a fifth wheel triler Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  MPI_Mallard • View posts Morpeth Ontario,St. Cloud Florida Senior Member Joined: 12/20/2004 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 10/10/22 03:12pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I need to mount the tireminder booster on my fiver' and need some advise. they insist it needs to be mounted under the very front of the fiver' under the the forward storage bay, in my case that means fastening it to the steel box/floor, cutting a hole for the wires, ect,, it would be far easier to fasten it inside the forward compartment. Now that tireminder is now owned by dometic they have changed the customer service of the original company that was fast to the new(average phone wait of 30+ minutes)and rather limited tech support(basically reading FAQ from a screen) AKA typical dometic sub-service,,,, I can't see this booster not working well behind a fiberglass door,,, any thoughts?

Its's been there for a couple of years after I dumped TST. It works fine there, even if the truck is unhooked and 15 feet away from the 5er. Sorry to hear about the sale of the company, that's a game changer.

That way it's only on when I'm towing.

The nearby light has 12 volts so it was easy to wire with a switch so I can turn it on while I am breaking down camp. 2005 Cardinal 30TS 2007 Chevy 2500HD D/A dieseltruckdriver • View posts Black Hills of SD Senior Member Joined: 08/24/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/11/22 08:15am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I mounted mine under the batteries with the antennas pointing down to the ground. The typical battery compartment is pretty open so it's easy to find power to run it. 2000 F-250 7.3 Powerstroke 2018 Arctic Fox 27-5L Retired JSO • View posts North Georgia Mountains Senior Member Joined: 01/28/2009 View Profile Posted: 10/11/22 09:18am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Mine is held down with zip ties near the batteries in the front compartment. fj12ryder • View posts Platte City, MO Senior Member Joined: 08/19/2003 View Profile Posted: 10/11/22 05:38pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Zip tied mine in the front battery compartment.
