I use a system by TST. It monitors pressure and temperature in all 8 tires on the Newell and the four on my toad. On a coach of this length and aluminum skin, the optional repeater is mandatory. But with that installed I never had a problem with communications from all sensors.
On one occasion I made a mistake when installing the auxiliary braking system on the toad. Shorly after we were rolling the TPMS alarm went off and I saw temperatures way too high on the Jeep. I quickly pulled over and found some very hot brakes on the Jeep, but no damage done thanks to my monitoring system. On top of that, I just like being able to check the tire pressures quickly from the comfort of my driver's seat. With TST you have the option of getting a system where you can change the batteries in the sensors yourself or ones that you send back. The DIY batteries last about a year and the send it back, about 7 years. I went with the ones I will have to send back in a few years. Satisifed customer so far. I had to purchase a selection of valve stem extensions to locate all the sensors where they can be easily removed when I need to add air.
