Determining The Correct Tire Sensors For A 2021 Winnebago Vista Motorhome Towing An Aluminum Trailer
Question:
I have a 2021 Winnebago Vista and I am towing an Aluma 7816 aluminum trailer that has four tires and 2 axels. I am interested in purchasing a Tire Minder i10 with 10 sensors. Can I use the sensors that come with the i10 or do I need a mix of different sensors? Thanks for your help

The sensor type needed for your motorhome and trailer is going to depend on the type of valve stems you have. If you have a rubber valve stem, you will need brass transmitters. If you have a metal valve stem, you will need aluminum transmitters.
The TireMinder i10 TPMS for RVs and Trailers w/ Signal Booster # TM56FR comes with 10 brass sensors so you would be fine with this kit if you had rubber valve stems. I do want to note that these aren't recommended for use with low pressure rubber valve stems rated for less than 65 psi.
For metal valve stems you'll want to swap out the brass sensors with aluminum sensors # TM-2ALUM. You could keep the excess sensors to easily swap out when batteries die or go with a smaller kit and add on some aluminum sensors so if you don't want a bunch of extras sitting around.
Let me know what style valve stems you have and I can help find the right kit for your needs.
