Video Transcript for Review of TST TPMS Sensor - TPMS for RVs - TST57FR

Hi, everyone, Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at a TST TPMS or a Tire Pressure Monitoring System for the RV. Now, this is a gray scale display with included signal booster and six flow through tire sensors. So, as you know, TPMS lets you monitor your RV's tire pressure and temperature via the included monitor. It also works great with your motor home, fifth wheel, motor coach, or trailers. And again, the nice large gray scale widescreen monitor here provides early warning detection with both visible and audible alerts.

Now, this can detect blowouts, significant tire trains and pressure, tire temperatures that exceed 158 degrees Fahrenheit, and it refreshes automatically with new information from each tire every five minutes. The presets on the monitor will let you monitor up to four separate vehicles or orientations. You're gonna get six flow through caps here, and flow through just simply means I can add air to the tire, or potentially take air outta the tire as needed without taking the actual cap off itself. Now if I had to take the cap off or put it on, they gimme special wrenches here that are included to be able to do so. (components clinking) You get all the O-rings, all the washers, and the brass nuts here for installing those caps as well.

You're gonna get the signal booster, you're gonna get the monitor attachment here to maybe put on the windshield and hang it, or potentially the dash. You got the nice pad, and you've got the 12 volt charger and micro USB cable to let you charge the monitor with your vehicle's 12 volt accessory outlet. Now, the booster in here will strengthen the signal and eliminate electronic interference as well. So, you're definitely gonna need that guy. You get a nice sticker here with different markings on it so you can mark each cap, and then know which tire that's on, what orientation it's on, the vehicle, and those kind of things as well.

(people chattering distantly) So, it's a very simple installation onto your tires valve stem, again, everything's going to automatically refresh and give you the information on the fly as you're going. Now, as far as the monitor here, some quick dimensions, I got about three inches tall in height, about four and a half inches wide, and about an inch thick. So, it's a decent display monitor size. Keep in mind, you're only showing your tire information here and those kinda things, so it really doesn't have to be much bigger than what it is, which is a nice thing I think personally, 'cause then it's not taking up a lot of space on your dash for what information it's actually given you. So, I think it's just a a good size.

Now, the battery charge on this guy, if you lost power, is about four hours of runtime. I'm sorry, recharge time is about four hours to recharge it from empty, but it should last you all day long, no problem. Well folks, I think that's gonna wrap it up for our quick look at this TPMS system. Keep in mind, you can always purchase additional flow through sensors separately. (part thudding softly) If you need more than six, this kit is capable to monitor up to a 115 tires, so pretty impressive. Well, that's gonna wrap it up, I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
