Tire Pressure Monitoring

[OTapia295]

Looking for ideas for an optimal mounting location for a TPM repeater on a 295RL. Ideas/input appreciated.

I mounted mine in the front storage compartment of my 303 on the front wall. It's wooden so little attenuation, out of the way, easy to mount and close to the battery for wiring ease.

I put mine on the back wall of my basement and then wired it to a basement light via an on/off switch.

Installed mine to the front pass through wall on my 2600rb. Opened up a section of the wall so I could wire it to the front curb side marker light. When I turn my lights on (always run with lights on) the booster is on.

I am considering aTPMS for our 2600RB as well and would like to know what it cost and where you found it. I have seen many of them and note that it is a tire link "prewire" on ours and am aware that still need 90% of the system. Is it accurate? Does it work on an android phone, do not need another screen in cab. Like ideas on where to mount it that folks have used. Thanks Dave

Industrial velcro was used to attach my booster to the front frame member. Its wired into the vehicle/trailer charge wire and is powered when the trailer plug is connected to the truck.

I should add: My charge wire is routed directly to a 20 amp Renogy DCDC Lithium charger and is not directly connected to the RV battery. Otherwise, on a traditional system the booster would be on all the time.

I have the Tire Minder TM-77 and have been very pleased with it. I went a little overboard and make united my booster in a plastic 4x4 box to the back of the battery support rail. Drilled two holes in the bottom of the box for the antennas to protrude out the bottom.

If you want a phone compatible system be sure you don't use your phone for other bluetooth functions while travelling. I wanted to get the Tire minder blue tooth version for the same reason as you, less screens. But I use my phone for streaming music while travelling. So I couldn't do both on the same device.

I also use the TM-77 where it has worked perfectly but this past season it has dropped the furthest sensor twice. This may have been due to a defective booster since the case had opened up slightly on mine. I sealed it with silicone but it lost a sensor once after re-sealing it. This is very startling when the alarm goes off and your initial thought is whether the issue is catastrophic or not.
Today I ordered and received the new 100ft capable Rino EX booster where this should eliminate any interference or a weak booster.

Here are a couple pics on the new extended range booster where its fully potted so its waterproof and can be mounted outside without issue.
