Specs:
This TireMinder TPMS monitors the pressure and temperature level of the tires on your RV, motorhome, 5th wheel, motor coach, or trailer. The system utilizes sensors that attach to the valve stems of your tires. When a tire sensor detects an anomaly, it will wirelessly transmit an alert to the TireMinder digital monitor. Your monitor will emit an audible alert to notify you of an issue and will display details regarding the anomaly. A signal booster is included to provide a constant, strong transmission, and to eliminate electronic interference.
Initial Setup
The TireMinder TPMS is easy to set up and includes all mounting hardware and tools for installation. First, attach the TireMinder sensors to the valve stems of your vehicle's tires. Next, install the Rhino signal booster in a protected area near the front or rear of your full towing setup, depending on your application. Use the included holder to set up the LCD monitor on your windshield or dashboard so you can monitor your tires while you drive. Finally, assign the tire sensor positions through the monitor's Learning Mode. Once the tire sensors have been recognized by the monitor, you're ready to travel.
Multiple Wheel Layouts
The TireMinder A1A TPMS is able to configure multiple wheel layouts and display them on the TireMinder monitor. The A1A can support a layout of up to 22 tires. Some examples of popular layouts are shown above.
Tire Sensors
Make sure your tires are inflated to the pressure level specified by the manufacturer prior to installing the sensors. These pressure levels will be used as the baseline to determine the high/low pressure warnings. It's best to install the sensors when your tires are cool.
You can also install flow-through adapters (sold separately) that let you air up your tires without removing the sensors. Simply screw the adapters onto your valve stems, and screw the sensors onto the adapters.
Brass vs Aluminum Tire Sensors
Your vehicle's tires will have either rubber or metal valve stems. RVs, motorhomes, 5th wheels, and trailers will generally have rubber stems with brass valve cores or metal stems with steel, chrome, or nickel valve cores - all of which work with the TireMinder brass sensors. This TireMinder kit comes with 4 brass sensors. You will only need aluminum sensors (TM-2ALUM - sold separately) if you're towing a car or light truck with built-in TPMS and aluminum valve stems.
It's important to choose the correct TPMS sensor for your vehicle. Pairing the wrong metals together may lead to galvanic corrosion, which makes it impossible to remove the sensors from the valve stem. If this happens, you will need to replace the valve stem or, in some cases, the whole tire. Matching the sensors to the construction of your valve stems will ensure the sensors won't corrode.
Rhino Signal Booster
The TireMinder Rhino signal booster improves the signal strength and range of the sensors. It has dual Hi-Db antennas that let the booster cut through signal interference coming from wireless electronic devices used in surrounding automobiles. It also ensures that the link from the sensors to the monitor is strong and continuous. This is crucial for operating the TPMS on large vehicles such as RVs, 5th wheels, or motorhomes. The unit has a green light on the front panel to indicate it has power and a blue light that blinks when it transmits a signal.
Even though the booster is weatherproof, you'll want to install it in a protected area on the underside of your vehicle to prevent corrosion. For a towable RV or camper, the optimal mounting location for the booster is toward the front. For a larger, drivable motorhome or RV, the optimal mounting location is toward the rear. This allows the booster to communicate clearly with all of the tire sensors. Other possible mounting locations for the booster include your battery compartment, attached to your license plate light, or on the front of your car hauler.
Once you've mounted your booster in a good location, connect the red power wire and black ground wire to a 12-volt or 24-volt power supply line. The booster needs to be mounted securely to reduce vibration. Zip-ties are included to fasten the booster and wires to your vehicle or trailer.

Working well! Did its job during a tire blowout last year. 857877
The tire minder is great, it was easy to install and the piece of mind it gives you being able to monitor your tire pressure and temperatures is well worth the price. I have been to Wyoming from our home in Kentucky and back and now in New York and have had no troubles other than one battery died which the display alerted to it and I replaced the battery and went on my way. 844763
I purchased my unit a year ago and finally had the dealer install it in January. I used it for the first time on a two and a half week 2,200 mile trip through the north west. The unit is compact and easy to read. The only thing I didn't like is the display only shows one tire in the monitoring mode. It is not too difficult, but still a bit distracting to scroll through the tires to see the pressure and temperature of each tire while driving. I like the tire temp feature, which I did not know was part of the system. Additionally, the battery life of the unit is great and only lost one of three bars in 2.5 weeks. there is an option to charge the battery in the tow vehicle with a 12 volt plug or on a 110 line with the charging adapter. According to the manual, the unit will set of an alarm on any monitored tire if there is a rapid or slow loss of pressure or a rapid rise in tire temperature. I 829617
Works as described. Setup was easy... Great peace of mind! 817973
Installed on my 5th wheel camper before our Florida trip gave us one alert on the way down for high tire pressure, put us at ease knowing system was installed and working properly. Great system for the price. 795301
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System was easy to install and get working. So far so good. Seems to be very accurate compared to the pressure gauge on my portable compressor and a hand held pressure gauge. I will be traveling next week and am looking forward to observe it. Thank you for this product. 776980
This is a must have for towing at night. No other way to know a tire is going flat. Works great! 767139
I'm very satisfied with the performance of this system on my 5th wheel trailer. I do strongly recommend that you install these caps on metal valve stems as opposed to the standard rubber ones. The weight of the sensor cap will cause rubber valve stems to fail over time and miles. 732681
This is a great TPMS and an essential tool for my motorhome travels. We have a tow car and that has sensors on it too. Unfortunately for me, the only time I wasn't using it was when I had a problem. Luckily there was no damage and this highlighted to always be diligent when it comes to tires. 726319
We received the Tireminder package 2 days after ordering. Everything was included, and because we were planning to leave on a 4-day trip with our trailer, I immediately installed the unit. Everything went together with no problem. The biggest issue for me was where to mount the booster unit. Photo Booster-1 shows my solution, I mounted on the back of my tongue jack. My original plan was to put it in the compartment with my batteries and propane tanks, which is beneath the Diamond plate cover in the photo, but the instructions said do not put it behind a metal cover. I installed the tire sensors and programmed the monitor following the instructions in the manual, and everything clicked! Interestingly, when I went back into the house, to put the monitor on the charger, I found the monitor would easily detect the tire sensors, even while sitting at my kitchen counter, about 100 ft. away and through four walls and a garage door! Deliberately set the tire pressures low, and was very gratified to see that after sitting, and cooling over night, the monitor went to alert mode the following morning. I adjusted the tire pressures properly and the alert cleared, so we headed out. Having suffered blow-outs on trailers, and having to repair /replace not only the tire but trailer body parts as well, My wife and I both feel much more at ease with the TireMinder on our trailer tires. 707702
TPMS works perfect and fairly easy to set up - only odd thing is no mention in manual the display morphs into a layout that matches the tire layout once setup complete. It is automatic. I have bought many times from etrailer and always get excellent service! Decided to get the TPMS as shredded a tire and also had some minor damage to trailer. Decided TPMS cheaper than fixing trailer again. And maybe get off road before tire damaged beyond repair. 682571
Love the product, great piece of mind to monitor the tire pressures and temperatures in real time. Able to catch a problem before it becomes a "real" issue. Easy to install and use. The only negative is the wrench included in the kit. It is light and will bend if the locknuts on the transmitters are very tight. 681865
William P - 08/08/2020Loved The Tire Minder. Easy Install and Gave me great peace of mine towing my 5th wheel from Texas to Alaska. 622088
Well pleased with TPMS. Easy setup and excellent written manual. 601777
Perry - 02/01/2020Haven't had time to use extensively yet but received product in a timely manner and was very easy to set up. Very happy so far. System is easily expandable. Comes with a great owners manual. 593448
Consistently reads 5 PSI over actual PSI. Verified using calibrated pressure monitor. Occasionally (within 5-7 miles) gives false readings and alarm, 274 PSI. Settles down and provides consistent reading after about 10 miles of driving. Haven't verified the accuracy of temperature readings. No alerts when signal/heartbeat is lost. Good battery life. 593421
Heather A - 01/16/2019product was easy to set up. 590104
