I have TPMS on the 2009 Ford Excape and there were times that I wished it  were not there. I was only back from Alaska ( I took the Escape to Alaska for 14  weeks) 1/2 day when it went out. The good part is that the car was still  under warranty and Ford paid the bill.  That was over $150. On the Ford  TPMS was standard and tied into the dash/mileage read out message area. If any  thing goes out it cancels the mileage read out. If you need an oil change that  read out is in mileage area until you take care of it. When I had a tire low  warning there was no mileage. I tried to fix the low tire but there was none.  Checked all tires. Inflated all tires to the same pressure, 32#. Gave it to the  dealer. It took them 2 tries to fix the problem. Two days gone and 150 if it  were not covered by warranty. The auto is no longer under warranty so next time  it is my $$$$ cost. And worst is you can not remove the system or deactivate it.  On a car I can not see it

Now for the MH that is another story. The front  tires? ? ? ? ? But the duels that could be a different story. You could have a flat  on one tire and not know it. This tire then could come apart and do a lot of  camper damage with high $$$$ repair. So today my brother bought me a TST 507  system for the LD. It came out of his inherence money. HA-HA. That is the same  way I got the snow blower last February.
After shopping around on the net I  found that this unit every where for $299 for 4 tires and add $100 for the next  2 tires to make it 6 for the MH. I got the unit from  www/GreatRVProducts. Com. $300 was there price for 4 tires and          if you bought it in March you got a 3 year warranty not the normal 2  year. In there net add they said they would match any ones price. Did some  searching and found that RVUpgrades. Com had it for $274.78 but $11 for shipping.  (TST507TPMSFT6) Every one else has the $400 price with the 6 tires. $300 for 4  tires. Called Great RV Products Sunday and they went along with the 274.78 price  but they know about the shipping cost so I paid $285 and free shipping. The  added 1 year warranty (to make it 3 years) is to end in March. There price would  have been $400 with out the price match.
Should have the unit by Wednesday.

Thanks for the tip, George.  We just got in under the wire and got the additional warranty and the peace of mind.
