Constant, real time tire pressure monitoring: hopefully improved blowout protection

Just FYI, I read today in one of my trade journals that Costco was now selling a TPMS system for trailers/rv's. It was also called PressurePro, but I don't know if is the same one made by Doran. Maybe our members who have one can look at the link below and tell if it is.

I don't have a Costco anywhere near me (nor ever been in one), but just know they are a warehouse club. Just passing along the info. I did a search on their site and found this.

The monitor looks different from what we bought recently from Doran...but the description is similar enough to think they might be made by the same people.

Chris & Noni,

Y'all might have the 360 series by Doran that is now available. I have the older system, and it looks exactly like what Bobby posted from Costco. You can check it out at: http://www.tirepressuremonitor.com/index.htm.
They don't list the 360 series on that website, but the Doran site has it at: http://www.doranmfg.com/rvtirepressuremonitors.htm

I paid $190 for the 16 wheel (just in case of a MH and toad in the future )dash unit, and $50 ea. ($100) for the sensors for the Trailmanor. The Costco price seems good, although I don't think you have the flexibility to buy a mega tire unit with just 2 sensors as I did.

In checking out my dash unit, and the instructions, I don't see the word "Doran" anywhere. RockyMtnRay posted it as a Doran in his orginal post on this thread, with a link to the Doran website. At the time he posted that, I think it referred to the units that we have. I have the exact setup as in his pictures. He was very helpful in a couple of PMs back and forth when I was considering the setup. Doran probably made the "Pressure Pro" system before the "360" system. Both systems seem very similar in their specs. The system that I have (and in Bobby's link) works well for me without a repeater. I do appreciate the technical support that I needed 1 time from the seller where I bought mine.

Looks like the model before the 360. Doran had them on sale a while back when they introduced the 360.

I agree with all of the above. The Costco unit looks like the Pressure Pro that I have, which I bought from Doran, but is now serviced by Pressure Pro. Doran now sells a newer model.

Our Doran 360RV has the Doran name on the monitor just below the screen in rather large letters.

Anyone tried the ones available on eBay I looked last night & there are quite a few available. I just ordered 3 new new Alloy wheels for ours & will be switching the tires over anyway so I may try one of the ones that use internal sensors instead of external sensors.

Also the ones on Costco look just like the ones on Dorans site in the clearance section.

Now that several folks have had a couple of years experience using these TPMS I was wondering what the consensus is on them now? I purchased the Hopkins system a couple years ago, but I have yet to install them. I hope that the batteries for the sensors last a few more years. But I will definitely put them on before our trip back east next year.

I know of 1 member that has the same system, but I was wondering if anyone else has the Hopkins? And what do you think?

We have been using the TST 510 system since Feb. On our last camping trip, got a low pressure alarm on one of the TV front tires before i even felt the difference in handling. Had enough time to find a safe place to pull off the two lane road that we were on to change to the spare. Changing a flat is never convenient but i felt better that i was able to get off the highway to do it.
