Just for another source, I have a new set of "Tire Minders" pur'd from Camping World that I've heard are very reliable as well, about the same price range.

The 507’s have worked well for me. Driving down the road a quick glace and I know that my tire pressure and temp is where it should be. The rapid deflation audible warning has gone off twice. Once when I was dumping the grey water and still had it on (now that is sensitive; change in pressure due to change in weight) and the second time this fall when I had a blowout. The alarm went off within 5 second of the tire failing giving us plenty of time to slow down and pull over before there was any damage to the rim or TM.

I have had them long enough to have replace the batteries twice. It was not difficult. Note that the O ring that makes them water and dust tight is very small and must be stretched over the detector. It is small enough that it looks like it is not for that purpose.

For me they have been well worth the investment. A number of people here have said they didn’t know they had a flat tire until someone drove beside them and flagged them down.

I got the system and two sensors. Looks like you can do that for $160.

Don't doubt you, Lesherp, and would vow to your experience. However, the "Tire Minders" have the same alert system as yours, and I've read many good testimonials as well.

When I was looking I figured any of them would do the job, and have no reason to believe any different now. I went with the one that had the best price at the time. If I were looking now I would probably go with the best price I could find again. I was just sharing my experience and the fact that I like having a warning system.

Thanks for the replys. I looked at the tsttruck site and will probably go with the 507 when the time comes.

The service I have received from TST has been excellent.

I read the information on 507's and on TIRE MINDERS Carried by Camping World, and there about the same price. Right now you can get a complete kit which includes 6 sensors and all the goodies for $299.00 I think. It is also recommended by Mark Polk's RV UNIVERSITY.
When the time comes for me later this year I'll probably go with the Tire Minder brand. Basically because of the recommendation of RV University.

Sensors seem to come in groups of four. Sensors are expensive. Is it possible to buy a system - either TST, or Tire Minders, or any other with a good rep - with only two sensors? Of course I would expect a reasonable discount. The sites don't seem to make that an option. I should query them, but haven't yet.

Bill and Others,
Just checked Camping world, and the newest kit is the TM66 M6 kit, selling for $299.77. It includes everything you need including a signal booster. The kit has a 5star rating so far. Extra sensors range from $70 to $79 for a set of 2. This post is for information only and is not a recommendation for/or against.
Planning on getting a 2015/ 2720 QS with all the goodies later this year, if everything works out the why I hoped.

Just an observation but occasionally CW has a really good sale and then the prices are OK.
