Video Transcript for Review of TST TPMS Sensor - TST TPMS For RVs - TST98FR

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this TST TPMS for your RVs. Now, this TPMS kit is gonna be an easy way to keep an eye on everything going on with your tires. This is going to be able to alert you to blowouts, pressure changes, and temperature changes exceeding 158 degrees Fahrenheit with both visual and audible alarms. This system's gonna automatically refresh every 12 seconds to give you accurate, current information. This monitor can sit on your dash, or you can use this suction cup holder, which I'm using right now.

So, you could either put this suction cup holder on your dashboard or you could mount it on your windshield, whichever's gonna be the best for you to use. And this is gonna be very easy to take off of the suction cup holder if you wanna remove it. And then, this is, I think this is probably my favorite way to mount this. You're just gonna put that on your dashboard, it's gonna hold in place, and you just slide that in just like that. So, you have those two ways to mount this, which is great.

And this does have a full-color display, so let me bring this up to my camera, here. Maybe you can see this a little bit easier. I'm gonna go ahead and power this on, and I just wanna give you a demonstration of what that display is going to look like when it's powered on. And it might be hard for you to see, actually, over camera. Looks like it probably is.

We do have photos on our product page showing you what this is going to look like. But you got a full-color display. It's going to look great inside of the cab of your vehicle, and you're going to be able to plug this into your vehicle's 12-volt accessory outlet with the included micro USB cord and what we would call, when I was a kid, the cigarette lighter socket. That'll plug right in, there. But this does have a battery as well, so when the battery's starting to run low, you can go ahead and plug this in.

So, you're gonna be very, you're gonna be able to keep an eye on everything with how your tires are, the temperature, the pressure. And so, this is going to be a great way just to keep an eye on everything at a glance. Now, this kit does come with two different sensors. You're going to get the flow-through sensors that are gonna be super convenient because you're gonna be able to add or release air from the tire without having to remove the sensor. And the sensors do come with caps here as well. But these are only gonna work with metal valve stems. Just be aware of that. And then, the cap sensors are going to work with both metal and rubber valve stems, giving you more options. Either way, they're both powered by a CR2032 battery that's going to be easy to replace when that time comes. This kit also comes with this booster, and this is going to help increase the signal from the sensor. And so, that's going to guarantee that the signal from the sensors are going to reach the monitoring, no matter how far your tires are from the cab. Personal recommendation, I would always install the booster no matter the length, just to make sure that you're getting that consistent signal. You're gonna get these theft-deterrent insulation tools to install the sensors. No matter which one you use, there's gonna be a tool for that, whether it's the caps, the cap or the flow-through ones. And then, the overall measurements of our monitor, in case you we inchesre wondering, looking at the overall length, about 4 5/8" long. The overall width or height, about 3". And the overall thickness, about 1 1/8" thick. So, not terribly large at all, smaller than a standard smartphone. And so, you are going to get four of these flow-through sensors. The pressure range is gonna be from 0 to 218 PSI. The battery life is gonna be from 12 to 18 months. Obviously, that's gonna depend on how often they're being used. And again, the flow-through sensors will only work with your metal valve stems. The cap sensors, you're gonna get two of these. And this is also, these also have a pressure range from 0 to 100, I'm sorry, 0 to 218 PSI. Again, the battery life's gonna be from 12 to 18 months. And then, the booster, it has a lead wire of 57" long. Then, you're gonna get all the hardware to get the valves in place. And again, theft deterrent tools here so you can secure them and then loosen them and remove them if you ever need to. But these tools are going to allow you to get them in place, and you're not gonna have to worry about somebody coming by and easily pulling these off because of the theft-deterrent capabilities that they have in the hardware. If you do pick this up, we would love to hear back from you regarding your experience with using this, how it's working out for you.
