Question:

Thinking of TireMinder with 6 sensors. 5th wheel 4 tires and spare tire for both tow vehicle and RV. Tow vehicle has TPMS for pressure already. How do folks identify their spares on the TPMS? Or, do folks not monitor the spares?

The TireMinder i10 TPMS for RVs and Trailers w/ Signal Booster # TM29FR only has a capacity of six sensors so when syncing the sensors to the monitor you can just set the spare as the 5th sensor. This system is designed for use on high pressure valve stems rated over 65 psi so you'll want to verify that your valve stems can handle the weight of the sensors.
