About TPMS Systems

[Foldbak]

Is this feature included in the 2022 Montana High Country or just the Montana? My 2020 GMC integrates with the trailer TPMS but I sold my last trailer and forgot to take the sensors out and now looking for replacements. So many choices...


I just answered my own question from the Keystone site. Keystone offers TPMS as an option on the Montana but not the High Country.

Thanks!

Darran I dont think they started putting them in until the 2021 models.

I'm following the herd and have ordered the TST 507 flow-through + repeater-repeater. I'm assuming they wont integrate with the Chevy HC but we'll see - I can't believe there actually a working standard for such a thing...

TST 507 here as well. Our HC 331RL doesn't have quite the amenities as a full Montana, but it is also lighter and seems to be working well for us. Though a 22 model, the HC unit didn't come with a TPMS. Installed the flow through sensors on our metal valve stems. The last trip out I forgot to turn on the repeater on the way back home, but didn't realize that I had done so due to the sensors never missing a beat.


All,
When I recently purchased our TST 507, I was on the TST web site and they evidently had a new piece of kit that is a 3 sided sun shield for the display monitors. It is just a piece of plastic shroud the clips over the top and sides of the monitor. I never once had any glare on the display screen. Might be a worthy addition to your setups.

I have a 2020 2500. I installed the factory sensors in my last trailer and then sold it leaving the sensors in it. I thought I could buy new aftermarket sensors. I just learned that trailer sensors have a longer distance then automotive sensors. I purchased More Sensor that are per programed for the truck. The tire shop tells me that they're for the truck and wont work on the trailer. Any input would be helpful.

Change them all to TST 507's.

Lee, we got the visor at the Quartzsite RV show. Ours sits in a pocket on the dash, so it’s helpful. Foldbak, can you return those and get the TST? Not sure if the ones you bought have temp and pressure, but sometimes a temp rise is your first indication of an impending issue. TST is by far the most used by MOC members. Great customer service, they work well and unlike the early version, the new ones have very nice user replaceable batteries.

These are what I purchased and the return date expired.
To be clear my truck has a TPMS system built in.

2022 HC 295RL with new TST 507 system: first long trip and getting intermittent info. Sometimes all four, then one, then 3 etc. Last TST on 2013 Mountaineer was perfect; BUT, we installed signal booster in Mountaineer nose. I didn't think we needed the booster in the 6' shorter 295; but, ???

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jack

So does the RAM, but they only give pressure and unless you leave it on screen, you aren’t able to monitor. Plus, to change batteries you need to remove the tire from the rim. Whatever works best for you is what matters. And for those with TST, a fellow MOC member told me a good trick. He told me to set pressure to PSI and temperature to Celsius. Then (as an example) I’m looking at 110 and 38 instead of 110 and 110. It’s very easy to see pressure vs temp. Thanks to H John Kohl.

Jack, we have the booster inside our front basement. I have had a number of TST units and they all needed the booster. Our Montana is 37’ and last one was 35’.

DW got me the GUTA TPMS at xmas, last TPMS died. I mounted the repeater in the propane cabinet, mine said it could not be mounted to metal, there is siding in part of the cabinet, plus it was simple to wire into the running lights. the GUTA is solar, i like it, shows all tires at once, my old system cycled tire to tire. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LNLH5P4...m?ie=UTF8&th=1

I added the repeater in mine. Sometimes one sensor would stop sending. I think as batteries wear out, they get weak and the signal does too. No problem since repeater. I mounted in battery compartment and just leave it on all the time except when I store the rig for winter.

Good TST info; I'll install my repeater ASAP.

I have a 2021 GMC 3500 shortbed Denali that came with the tire pressure sensors for the trailer. There are 4 of them. My trailer is a 2021 3121RL 35ft. There has been some talk that some of the sensors on the rear tires will not transmit to the GMC display system in the cab. Before I go spend all the money to have these sensors mounted in each of the 4 trailer tires, can anyone share their personal experiences with GM's stock trailer sensors and what distance you are getting out of them in terms of transmitting to your cab from your trailer

After much thinking and concerns with tire pressures on our planned 8k mile trip this year "I'm following the herd and have ordered the TST 507 flow-through + repeater". I decided having a dually and the difficulty checking it's tire pressures I bought the 10 tire system. Now I'm hoping I can check all tires on a regular basis.

My GMC is a 2020. I had the factory sensors on my last trailer and they worked great! Never had a problem. My last trailer was a 30' Cougar. The reason they are so dam expensive is they have extended range. They're $300 for a set of four and I left them in the Cougar when I sold it. As you can see in the picture the axles are every bit as far back as the Montana. I spent $70 on an after market set that I found out won't work. Just last night I bought a factory OEM set on ebay for $135. DW not happy

I have the TST 507 TPMS on my RV, and paired the four sensors for the trailer tires soon after taking delivery. Last week I lowered the spare tire for the first time to check the air pressure and saw the yellow valve cap with red symbol indicating installed TPMS. It may be common knowledge in the industry, but I did not know prior to this my spare tire had a sensor. It is now programed to the console.

BRILLIANT! If I ever run across H John Kohl, an adult beverage for him is in order!

Need help. My TireMinder is going off on High Pressure (all 4 tires within 15 minutes from cold)
1. Tire gauge says 110 at tire (cold) Tried 3 different gauges and each close to 110
2. TPMS display says 120 (cold)
3. Just tried 2 new tire transmitters and they read 120 at the display
4. Took a transmitter off an RV tire and put it on the truck. Showed exactly what the truck said.
I’m stumped! Need a new set of brains on this. Thanks
