TMPS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
I had a question that was embedded in another topic so I thought I'd start a new post.....read through this:

Best RV Tire Pressure Monitoring System Reviews 2019: Top 12+ Recommended

But I'm also looking for recommendations from folks here of what company/system they would choose today......

Thanks!

I have only used the TST 507 and cannot compare with any other on a 1st person basis.
I've used it for about 5 years on my 2013 31 IB and 2011 Honda CRV tow'd. 
Programming is straightforward (after reading the directions  ;)  ).  I replaced the original monitoring device when a color display option was available.  The new one is easier to read.  They say you might need a repeater with a longer unit, but I have had no problems.
I opted for the flow-thru sending units so I can check/fill without removing the unit.
I replaced the batteries after 3 years - one or two started having issues and I replaced all at once.
I have replaced 4 sending units thus far - 3 of them were due to damage I caused,  2 in a car wash and one I ran into on the tow'd with some garden equipment  (One DEE Ten TEE errors).
The sending units read 3-4 psi lower than a digital gauge used to check on pre-trip prep. I don't see it as a problem as I watch for trends and sudden changes.

I am satisfied with the product and see no reason to change.  Other people have other brands with which they seem just as satisfied. 

Which one is less significant that not having one at all, IMO.

Safe travels
