Does Signal Repeater of TST TPMS for RVs Have to Be Installed  

Question:

I have a 24foot travel trailer that I tow with. 1/2 ton truck. My question is do I need to install the repeater? And does it need to install in a storage compartment?

Helpful Expert Reply:

Yes, you would need to install the signal repeater that comes with the TST TPMS for RVs # TST-507-RV-4-C that you referenced to ensure the monitor always has signal/reception. Especially since you plan to use it with a trailer as well.

The repeater needs to be install in a location that's protected from the elements. So in a storage compartment is your best choice if installed on a trailer, but if you can install it elsewhere that's also protected that would be sufficient as well.

Do you sell additional repeaters? I have a 4 wheel boat trailer that want to use additional tire montitors on. I will be primarily be using the monitor on my 36 ft fifth wheel travel trailer.

The Signal Booster # TST-507-R is what you want. This booster - or repeater - amplifies the signal strength that the sensors send to the monitor. Booster installation requires a 12-volt power source. It is waterproof and can be mounted inside or outside your vehicle with the included mounting hardware. On a trailer, you can mount it in the battery box in front of the propane bottles. On a 5th wheel, you can install it in the house battery bay underneath the overhang. You just want to make sure the mounting location is under any mirrors as they could bounce the signal.
